Waybar not showing

Hello, I’m totally new to Nix (just installed it today) and am currently trying to get a basic hyprland + waybar setup running. The problem is that I don’t get waybar to show up at all. Here are my Waybar logs:

I added exec-once waybar & to my hyprland.conf and enabled it in the configuration file. I also added xdg-desktop-portals , xdg-desktop-portals-gtk , xdg-desktop-portals-hyprland because I didn’t know which one waybar might require. Any ideas what the problem could be?

Hi,
Did you find something ? I’m also a newbie (so I won’t help sry) and I have tried to launch waybar in sway and Hyprland, but it never shows up.
