Same issue with Arch Linux too

dieBakterie on Apr 13, 2024

I was getting the same error, on arch with hyprland Tag: v0.39.1, commits: 4460 until I stumbled upon this #4682

Just make sure you have cpio installed.

On arch, you can get cpio with sudo pacman -S cpio.

This is also failing on Arch Linux, I don’t think it’s a NixOS thing.

relevant details are the output of whatever cmd you’re running with -v

I’m still getting the error on Arch Linux, I’ve updated and rebooted just to be sure. Here are the relevant details:
