Update 10 March 2024 ¶

I got it to work. the previous problem was solved. probably packages are updated to address the issue. the following is the setup

 1require 'bundler/inline'
 2
 3gemfile do
 4  source "https://rubygems.org"
 5
 6  gem "archlinux",
 7      # github: "emad-elsaid/archlinux"
 8      path: "/home/emad/code/archlinux"
 9end

12  package %w[
13          hyprland
14          xorg-xwayland
15          waybar
16          wofi
17          hyprpaper
18          swaylock
19          grim
20          slurp
21          wl-clipboard
22          ]
23
24  # This is what allowed screen recording, pulseaudio without pipewire doesn't
25  # allow it
26  package %w[
27          xdg-desktop-portal-hyprland
28          xdg-desktop-portal-gtk
29          pipewire
30          pipewire-audio
31          pipewire-alsa
32          pipewire-pulse
33          wireplumber
34          pavucontrol
35          libpulse
36          ]
37end

The previous script uses Archlinux Gem I’m developing. you can translate it to steps you do manually.
