Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/JakeStanger/ironbar/issues/361

I am not sure if I am missing something but I am having trouble getting it to start on startup with hyprland. I have exec-once = ironbar in my config. It doesn't start and there is nothing in the log file. Using hyprctl dispatch exec ironbar it doesn't start either. The only way I have been able to successfully start it is with just calling the binary in a terminal.

If you installed with cargo, it might not be in path? That's all I can think of.

It may be worth checking the error log in case anything goes in there (for both Hyprland or Ironbar), otherwise yeah a PATH configuration issue sounds plausible.

That was it, thanks. It was installed bar cargo and in the cargo path. Moving to /usr/bin/ solved it.

Yeah I wouldn't recommend moving it. Instead look into adding ~/.cargo/bin to your PATH
