Describe your issue / feature…

the last couple updates have left me with a blank .config/hypr/conf.d/init/matugen.conf
The file is still there but it is empty

what happens / is printed when you run matugen image $(cat ~/.config/hyprland-de/wallpaper.conf)?

updated this morning and received the error so I ran matugen image $(cat ~/.config/hyprland-de/wallpaper.conf) and the notification disappeared

I just ran the latest update and it kicked an error saying it couldn’t write to wallpaper.png (I think, I happened accidentally hit my keyboard and cleared the terminal) which I think could be related to the fact that I keep it in /usr/share/wallpapers/dick/.png and was owned by root. I gave myself ownership of directory and files an it seems to have fixed the problem.

Can we show some appreciation for the wallpapers/dick directories. /s

Heh, I am a child truly and I am sorry

mv $HOME/Picture $HOME/DickPics?
