Openstack RDO && KVM Hypervisor: Attempt to workaround currently pending bug with Dotfiles Installer on openSUSE Tumblweed

UPDATE as of 07/26/25

You might be forced to try download hyprpaper-0.7.5-20.2.src.rpm or hyprutils-0.8.1-19.2.src.rpm

The goal of source-install is to create under /usr/lib64 shown below shared libraries .

boris@localhost:/usr/lib64> ls -l libhyprutils*
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 17 Jul 16 08:23 libhyprutils.so -> libhyprutils.so.7
-rwxr-xr-x. 1 root root 235744 Jul 16 08:23 libhyprutils.so.0.8.1
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 21 Jul 16 08:23 libhyprutils.so.7 -> libhyprutils.so.0.8.1

For instance just been working via rpm-build with hyprutils-0.8.1-19.2.src.rpm

1. Install rpm-build and dependencies:

Ensure you have the rpm-build package and its dependencies installed.

You can use zypper install rpm-build.

2. Unpack the source RPM:

Use rpm -ivh package.src.rpm to unpack the source code

3. Navigate to the source directory:

Change your working directory to the location where the source code was unpacked (e.g., ~/rpmbuild/SOURCES).

boris@localhost:~/rpmbuild/SOURCES> ls -l

total 36

drwxr-xr-x. 1 boris boris 286 Jul 26 08:54 hyprutils-0.8.1

-rw-r--r--. 1 boris boris 36020 Jul 16 08:23 hyprutils-0.8.1.tar.xz

boris@localhost:~/rpmbuild/SOURCES> ls -l

total 36

drwxr-xr-x. 1 boris boris 286 Jul 26 08:54 hyprutils-0.8.1

-rw-r--r--. 1 boris boris 36020 Jul 16 08:23 hyprutils-0.8.1.tar.xz

boris@localhost:~/rpmbuild/SOURCES> cd *.1

boris@localhost:~/rpmbuild/SOURCES/hyprutils-0.8.1> ls

CMakeLists.txt flake.lock flake.nix hyprutils.pc.in include LICENSE nix README.md src tests VERSION

follow README.md previously set up libpixman-1-0-devel

$ sudo zypper install libpixman-1-0-devel

$ git clone https://github.com/hyprwm/hyprutils.git
$ cd hyprutils/
$ cmake --no-warn-unused-cli -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE:STRING=Release -$ DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX:PATH=/usr -S . -B ./build
$ cmake --build ./build --config Release --target all -j`nproc 2>/dev/null || getconf NPROCESSORS_CONF`
$ sudo cmake --install build

Upon Build completion

$ cd /usr/lib64

boris@localhost:/usr/lib64> ls -l libhyprutils*
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 17 Jul 26 08:33 libhyprutils.so -> libhyprutils.so.7
-rwxr-xr-x. 1 root root 390720 Jul 26 08:33 libhyprutils.so.0.8.1
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 21 Jul 26 08:33 libhyprutils.so.7 -> libhyprutils.so.0.8.1

Having libpixman-1-0-devel installed you are not supposed to experience any problem with install /usr/bin/hyprpaper binary in other words $ sudo zypper install hyprpaper shouldn't cause any trouble for you .

END UPDATE

See https://github.com/mylinuxforwork/dotfiles/issues/1053

I have to notice that during business day 07/24/25 "Mylinuxforwork" suggested utilizing swww rather then hyprpaper on openSUSE Tumbleweed. See final entries into thread https://github.com/mylinuxforwork/dotfiles/issues/1053

Solution proposed below is forcing installation /usr/bin/hyprpaper on Tumbleweed which breaks dependencies ( official option 2 ) and creating manually a soft link libhyprutils.so.6 -> libhyprutils.so.0.8.1 under folder /usr/lib64

We intend to start with source-install of hyprpaper-0.7.1-2.6.src.rpm

boris@localhost:~/Downloads> sudo zypper source-install hyprpaper-0.7.1-2.6.src.rpm

─ ❯❯ sudo zypper search -s hyprpaper
[sudo] password for root:

Now run $ sudo zypper install hyprpaper via option 2 ( break dependencies ) . So force installation of binary /usr/bin/hyprpaper

Then verify status of /usr/lib64/ and create soft link

libhyprutils.so.6 -> libhyprutils.so.0.8.1 as root

localhost:/usr/lib64 # ls -l libhyprutils*
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root     17 Jul 16 08:23 libhyprutils.so -> libhyprutils.so.7
-rwxr-xr-x. 1 root root 235744 Jul 16 08:23 libhyprutils.so.0.8.1
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root     21 Jul 24 10:39 libhyprutils.so.6 -> libhyprutils.so.0.8.1
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root     21 Jul 16 08:23 libhyprutils.so.7 -> libhyprutils.so.0.8.1

When done in default openSUSE Tumbleweed KDE DE install the most recent Dotfiles Installer

$ flatpak install flathub com.ml4w.dotfilesinstaller

Next Step would be start of com.ml4w.dotfilesinstaller

$ flatpak run com.ml4w.dotfilesinstaller

Right after start of installer copy the following url into the Dotfiles Installer and start the installation

https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mylinuxforwork/dotfiles/main/hyprland-dotfiles.dotinst

then click on Download button. When download will be finished copy to clipboard buffer highlighted command in popped up window and run the script

/home/boris/.var/app/com.ml4w.dotfilesinstaller/data/downloads/com.ml4w.dotfiles/setup/setup.sh

in another tab keeping original process up and running. All the steps would be exactly the same as described in https://lxer.com/module/newswire/view/355632/index.html

Install waypaper via pipx $ pipx install waypaper

Upon reboot log into Hyperland option SDDM's login prompt .

Now make sure that Settings=>Wallpaper=>Wallpaper Effect is set to "off " ( options blur1 or blur2 wouldn't hold properly resolution 1920x1080 ) . At this point hackery related with forcing installation of binary/usr/bin/hyprpaper and creating manually under /usr/lib64 folder soft link

libhyprutils.so.6 -> libhyprutils.so.0.8.1 is supposed to provide you smoothly working Hyperland with ML4W Dotfiles 2.9.9 environment which allows to switch wallpapers via "hyprpaper" option in left down corner of panel providing wallpapers selection actions
