Troubleshooting
Why are some apps so large on my display?
Omarchy assumes a 2x high-resolution display, which requires setting GDK_SCALE
to 2 in ~/.config/hypr/hyprland.conf
. But if you're on a 1x display, you can change this to 1 (and then reset Hyprland with Super + Escape
, then Relaunch).
Why are my external speakers not playing?
Probably because they're not set as the primary output. Click on the speaker in the top right of the waybar, and it'll launch the volume controls where you can select the primary speaker.
Why isn't Caps Lock working?
In Omarchy, Caps Lock has been designated to be the xcompose key. That's how you get quick emojis and other autocompletions done. If you really miss using Caps Lock, you can remape the xcompose key to something else by editing ~/.config/hypr/hyprland.conf
, like setting it to the right alt key:
kb_options = compose:ralt
My Bluetooth isn't working?
It could also be because your computer comes with a MediaTek wifi card that isn't compatible with Linux. This is the case of the Minisforum UM870, for example. You can buy a cheap replacement card from Framework or Amazon for around $20 — that works and slots right in.
Why isn't my 1Password authorization prompts for 1Password SSH Agent / CLI appearing?
This can happen for 2 reasons:
In order for the rich approval prompt to appear, Settings > Advanced > Use Hardware Acceleration must be turned on. Note: This requires a reboot to begin working.
Or if you haven't launched 1Password since booting up, the prompt will not appear.
Why does Dropbox complain about tray access?
Just ignore it. Omarchy uses its own Dropbox icon via waybar. You don't need the tray access. You can do all your management in the terminal with dropbox-cli
.
