Describe the bug
After update from 2.9.7.0 to 2.9.7.1 some modules are not working anymore.

• Waybar won't autostart
• Waypaper error module in terminal
• Hyprshade script error module in terminal

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Go to dotfiles/.config/scripts/
2. Execute hyrpshade.sh
3. See error in terminal (similar error with waypaper)

Error

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/hyprshade", line 5, in <module>
    from hyprshade.cli import main
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'hyprshade'
:: hyprshade is not running

Rebuilding some aur packages and installing new dependencies seems fix the issue with waybar, hyprshade and hyprlock

Rebuilding some aur packages and installing new dependencies seems fix the issue

Could you tell more about that? I have the same issue

Rebuilding some aur packages and installing new dependencies seems fix the issue with waybar, hyprshade and hyprlock

Also asking for elaboration on what are 'some aur packages' and how exactly did You install new dependencies?
TIA

Could you tell more about that? I have the same issue

Sure, I tried differents commands, but these are the ones that worked for me.

Run this command pacman -Qoq /usr/lib/python3.13 to get a list of packages that depends of python (source). Change python version if you don't have 3.13 installed.

Then, what I did was to use the output of the list to rebuild all packages using paru instead of pacman with this command:

paru -S $(paru -Qoq /usr/lib/python3.13) --rebuild

After that, you can logout and login again, try to run hyprshade or waypaper to see if there some errors yet.

In my case, I had to install a new dependency python-screeninfo. I did that with this command: paru -S python-screeninfo --rebuild (maybe the rebuild flag is not necessary but II added it anyway).

After that, waypaper, hyprshade and waybar started to working without any change.

I hope this work for you.

Note: I ran the commands in bash, not zsh because didn't work for me.

Here the steps I did. About 'some aur packages', is because I rebuilt only packages that depends on python only, not all aur packages that I have installed.

I managed to make it work by doing so on Arch Linux, AMD GPU:

sudo pacman -Syu
yay -S waypaper
yay -S python-screeninfo

I tried both variants and waypaper still crashes trying to run:

/home/capobvious : waypaper
Traceback (most recent call last):

    from waypaper.app import App

    import imageio

Try rebuild only that package like this paru -S python-imageio --rebuild

[cap0bvious]

That made waypaper run with no issues, thanks!
It seems that the reason for the issue isn't ml4w, but python 3.13 that just got released

Yeah, great that works.

[degobbis]

Unfortunately, it doesn't solve the problem for me. Do you have any other ideas?

[daveleslie]

got it working with

sudo pacman -Syu
yay -S waypaper
yay -S python-screeninfo
yay -S python-imageio

[degobbis]

got it working with

sudo pacman -Syu
yay -S waypaper
yay -S python-screeninfo
yay -S python-imageio

Unfortunately, it doesn't solve the problem for me either.
I noticed that yay -S waypaper still installs waypaper-git, can anyone confirm this?

What error are you getting when run waypaper in the terminal?

[NuLLxD]

Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/waypaper", line 5, in <module> from waypaper.__main__ import run ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'waypaper'

Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/hyprshade", line 5, in <module> from hyprshade.cli import main ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'hyprshade'

Unfortunately none of these seem to be a solution. I've even done a clean install of the dotfiles and all packages.

[degobbis]

I could now downgrade waypaper back to the normal version, the error is in the terminal:

$ waypaper --restore
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/waypaper", line 5, in <module>
    from waypaper.__main__ import run
  File "/usr/lib/python3.13/site-packages/waypaper/__main__.py", line 10, in <module>
    from waypaper.app import App
  File "/usr/lib/python3.13/site-packages/waypaper/app.py", line 9, in <module>
    import imageio
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'imageio'

[degobbis]

These Packages are installed and reinstalled

$ pacman -Q | grep imageio                             
python-imageio 2.36.1-2
python-imageio-ffmpeg 0.5.1-2

Try this:

paru -S waypaper hyprshade --rebuild

Then, if you run waypaper in terminal, check if the error change.

Try this

[degobbis]

Problem found:
Python has been updated to version 3.13, but the additional packages are in the path for Python 3.12. Therefore it cannot find the packages.

I think a downgrade could solve the problem.

[degobbis]

Downgrading the Python version was not the solution.
I found a temporary solution, I added the following line in my custom.conf:
env = PYTHONPATH,/usr/lib/python3.12/site-packages:/usr/lib/python3.13/site-packages:$PYTHONPATH

Also added this in my ZSH custom init file:
export PYTHONPATH=/usr/lib/python3.12/site-packages:/usr/lib/python3.13/site-packages:$PYTHONPATH

Try this:

paru -S waypaper hyprshade --rebuild

Then, if you run waypaper in terminal, check if the error change.

This fixed it, thank you. I also had to rebuild some other packages as well.

paru -S python-screeninfo --rebuild

To summarize for everyone else who may be looking for a solution, try this;

paru -S waypaper hyprshade python-imageio python-screeninfo --rebuild

[degobbis]

I did that, but it didn't solve the problem.

This solves the problem for me.

[NuLLxD]

I did that, but it didn't solve the problem.

I would recommend uninstalling your dotfiles, in the case of yay

yay -R ml4w-hyprland

or in the case of paru

paru -R ml4w-hyprland

Then install the new dotfiles via your package manager and use the setup script to retain any custom configuration settings you may have.

ml4w-hyprland-setup

EDIT: In the case of nvidia users

ml4w-hyprland-setup -m nvidia

This is what I did previous to the steps in my last reply. Your case is different than mine.

works like a charm, fixed my problem, thank you

[degobbis]

I forgot to restart... :D
Now everything works fine, even without setting the variable.
Thx.
