SWWW - Black background no wallpaper
`~/.config/hyde/themes/Gruvbox Retro ❯ Hyde wallpaper select
09:42:09 PM:: applying wall :: "/home/username/.config/hyde/themes/Gruvbox Retro/wallpapers/raven1.jpg"
~/.config/hyde/themes/Gruvbox Retro ❯ [skip] "/home/username/.config/cava/Wall-Dcol"
09:42:21 PM[skip] "/home/username/.config/spicetify/Themes/Sleek/color.ini"`
I have tried to rebuild/Reload Hyde. deleted swww cache folder and files.
sometimes i can use the super + alt + arrow keys to switch wallpapers and it will eventually show up randomly.
Only one picture is set to this theme. No other images in this setup.
clearly a swww issue but not sure how to resolve it.
When i try to select the wallpaper from CLI it runs extra things like /spicetify/ which isnt even a directory on my machine and the cli gets hung.
what happens when you run swww restore
Nothing happens with swww restore
I found if I
swww kill
swww init
it comes back. But when I reboot it goes back to black screen. Have to kill and init everytime but it comes back after.
init is deprecated.
can you run this swwwallpaper.sh
on 2 different terminals, what happen? run same command but 2 instances.
facing similar issue with swww, no wallpaper sometime just a black screen, changing wallpaper works once or twice then get stuck, changing theme changes colors and other properties but wallpaper gets stuck and doesnt change
Error: "couldn't bind socket: Address already in use (os error 98)"

I ran swwwallpaper.sh
in two separate terminals and had no results. It says it applied the wallpaper but nothing happens.
If i call swww-daemon
directly since init is deprecated it works. Until i reboot again. Still have to kill swww then call it directly.
Also when you sww kill
you can see the background go from a pitch black to a duller grey. Its like SWWW is working but the wallpaper just isnt rendering. Once you basically restart swww it shows up fine. But after rebooting goes back to same broken state.
Ive cleared the .cache/swww
directory multiple times to no effect and ran the swww clear-cache
also.
Cool! Just swww's breaking change about a week ago. I did of not make a PR as I cannot merge my own. I'm actually waiting for someone to do it . Can you do a PR with that changes please? Will merge it immediately
Also for everyone here, I think the stable swww
is pretty stable now. I advised to revert your swww-git
installation. yay -Sy swww
@kRHYME7
