 |
|
hi.
I'd like to try switching from Xorg to Wayland.
I have:
/etc/gdm/custom.conf
Also i have the use-flags X and wayland enabled.
I use GDM and Gnome
From the GDM menu i can not see wayland option from the options menu on GDM... Only Xsesssion, Gnome, Gnome-classic and personalized.
Any ideas??
EDIT: Btw... i have Nvidia graphics card, if it helps...?? |

AFAIK, gnome should try to use wayland first, are you sure you're running under X and not Xwayland?
Open a terminal, run ps and see what's running.
export GDK_BACKEND=wayland should make all gtk apps use wayland not X, should work for gnome also, since all their stuff is gtk based.

This is a workaround for that bug | Code: | | ln -s /dev/null /etc/udev/rules.d/61-gdm.rules |

I downgraded to GDM 43.0 as someone told me to do so, and i noticed GDM 44.0 has been basked since (wasn't masked when i first upgraded to it)
But still i get no wayland option.
Edit: Ah, noticed thta this bug was for version 43, not 44  |

Uff, rebooting helped. It wasn't enough doing systemctl restart gdm
Nice, thanks |
