Description
Hyprland will work fine when connecting my laptop to an HDMI screen, but when I disconnect it Hyprland will crash with SIGABRT
. Originally assuming maybe its because my monitor configuration was weird (i was attempting to mirror an HDMI screen onto internal, and wondered if maybe Hyprland was crashing because it lost a display).
This was my hyprland.conf when this issue was happening. It would work perfectly fine when connecting, but it would crash on a disconnect.
monitor=HDMI-A-1,3840x2160,0x0,2
monitor=eDP-1,1920x1080,0x0,1,mirror,HDMI-A-1
I set out to use https://github.com/coffebar/hyprland-monitor-attached to get around the issue by dynamically using hyprctl keyword monitor ...
to reconfigure my monitors on the fly as necessary.
hyprland.conf
monitor=eDP-1,highres,auto,1
exec-once = /usr/bin/hyprland-monitor-attached ~/bin/on_mon_attach ~/bin/on_mon_detach
~/bin/on_mon_attach
hyprctl --batch "keyword monitor HDMI-A-1,3840x2160,0x0,2;keyword monitor eDP-1,1920x1080,0x0,1,mirror,HDMI-A-1"
~/bin/on_mon_detach
hyprctl keyword monitor eDP-1,highres,auto,1
This is my new and current setup. I hoped this would also work, but it still had the exact same behaviour, perfectly fine when first connecting, but a crash when the HDMI cable disconnects from the laptop.
How to reproduce
Using the above configuration (probably fixing resolutions), attach an HDMI cable into the device, and once its connected and displaying correctly disconnect it. Hyprland should freeze up and within a few seconds crash, taking you back to either tty or your login manager.

Same issue here. It was introduced with 0.29 for me.
@jakubreron fixed in 8b9cc9a8dbebc0dc988a97d95c49cce2993529e1
I’ve found a workaround for my issue: First I need to execute
and only then
With this approach, Hyprland doesn’t crash
