Troubleshoot Old files conflicting

[jojo06]

@Yochanan please dont take it disrespectful nor rude; im trying to keep the forum clean and ask the question in smart way. The problem might be about 3rd-party and/or kernel --for including system files/stuff-- and/or system upgrade. So i wonder can you please, add/delete whatever takes the right place for it ?

---

1-) After i3 i installed sway then after hyprland. Even in the sway i was facing with some errors/warnings. Many git pages saying different. So can i check all dependencies is installed ?

2-) I was using lightdm and sddm, even after uninstall, i can see the files are not gone. And i have a few other uninstalled stuff. So in pacman -Qkk i saw its causing problems. So is there a command for whichever i uninstalled, it will delete the existing files ?

3-) Should i use sway with hyprland ? Installed programs (a realized a few of em) not seeing installed OR giving me errors. Its in sway, its installed. And hyprland and sway have common files. So im afraid it will crush eventually. Where is the logs for it ?

***For example, i was trying to set background, when i tried to run the program it said cant open display :0 and xprop not working BUT it was working on sway.

PLUS I was uninstalled NVIDIA but in somehow, its installed and working Im not worried about, but should i ?

Thanks for any help/guidance.

I’m not sure what to make of all that …

But

@jojo06

So can i check all dependencies is installed ?

What do you mean?
Check for missing dependencies? Of all installed packages?
I guess you could just reinstall your packages

sudo pacman -Syu $(pacman -Qnq)

@jojo06

I was using lightdm and sddm

lightdm and sddm are both display managers. you cannot use them at the same time.

@jojo06

PLUS I was uninstalled NVIDIA but in somehow, its installed and working Im not worried about, but should i ?

Again I dont know what you mean.

Maybe show us system info?

mhwd -li -l
inxi -Fazy

Thank you for your help.

What do you mean?

I meant check for missing dependencies for hyprland, yes. And will it be smart to reinstall ? Because with that i can see the conflicting packages and unsintall them. But the fact is i dont know what hyprlan required packages. Like i said in every git pages/links its different.

@cscs

lightdm and sddm are both display managers. you cannot use them at the same time.

I now, im not using either right now. But their files exist and causing problems. I have other packages like them, im asking about how to remove the files for uninstalled packages ?

@cscs

Again I dont know what you mean.

Maybe show us system info?

Sway does not support and cant launch with any kind of GPU, thats why i was uninstalled my NVIDIA GPU. But now its installed. (It may be because i copy+paste dependencies for hyprland from a git page which including). But hyprland warning us to, it may launch without problem with GPU but make sure its all okay, set it properly. So how can i check ?

mhwd not installed and i guess mhwd-nvidia is out of date. Should i install it ? Sorry for bothering but dont want to crush anything.

Should i uninstall sway ?
And what about -Qkk broken packages ?

Thanks for help, appreciated.

[cscs]

It appears you are not using manjaro ?

[cscs]

Well, it explains not having mhwd as those are manjaro packages.

Your general question might be similar to this thread:

Manjaro System repair / integrity check?

-Dkk will perform on the repos, what is available, not what you have. Something more like what OP is asking for might be pacman -Qkk | grep -v '0 altered files' Though I fear what this will mean for people looking at the output. Its likely there willl be ‘modified’ files or ‘mismatched time’ etc that is ignorable. Well, the single Dk pacman -Dk will report big goofs like missing dependencies… though that will likely only happen if someone did -Rdd manually.
