Setup Dotfiles Installer on openSUSE Tumbleweed based on hyprutils-0.8.1-19.2.src.rpm

This post is an immediate follow up for Attempt to workaround currently pending bug with Dotfiles Installer on openSUSE Tumblweed   due to updates in openSUSE Tumbleweed packages dependencies which allow to avoid hacks during installation of Hypland with ML4W Dotfiles 2.9.9 on mentioned  above popular Linux flavor .  You may proceed as follows

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 hyprutils-0.8.1-19.2.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> 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 .

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 straight forward setup  will provide you smoothly working Hyperland with ML4W Dotfiles 2.9.9 environment which allows to switch wallpapers via "hyprpaper" option at the left down side  of panel providing wallpapers selection actions
