Initializing... #30
Description
System:
Arch Linux (latest Syu 11/13/2025)
Hyprland v0.52.1
kitty
zsh
Problem: Stuck on Initializing... indefinitely.
What I tried: different terminals and shells (wezterm/warp, bash), read the github and tried to pull dependencies listed for debian and ubuntu that are within the arch ecosystem.
This is the first time I tried running it. I have never witnessed it working on my specific configuration.
My recommendation:
Before Initialization, create an async process with a timeout that listens for init complete.
During Initialization, use a dynamic variable to track the completion of initialization.
After Initialization, send init complete to async init tracker. Init tracker ends, no output.
If Init exceeds timeout, return error and dynamic init tracker details so the user can see why the application failed.
Extra Credit, most likely cause of failure for init timing out (missing dependency, misconfiguration, daemon not running etc).
Actual diagnosed failure: Wireplumber

What I had to do to fix the issue: I created a wireplumber config with
monitor.alsa.properties = {
["alsa.use-ucm"] = false
}
You have a really slick app, I like it a lot. Keep up the good work.
