Hi all,
I was under the impression that by default the Gnome login shell was using Wayland - but using the following test seems to indicate I am using X11:
$ loginctl SESSION UID USER SEAT TTY 1 1001 michael seat0 tty2 c1 466 gdm seat0 tty7
2 sessions listed.
$ loginctl show-session 1 -p Type Type=x11
Yes, that method works: loginctl show-session 1 -p Type Type=wayland
Is this the correct way to check if I running Wayland on Tumbleweed? If it is and I am actually running X11, how do I actually enable Wayland?
If you installed it using standard methods, then gnome-session-wayland is not being installed yet sudo zypper in gnome-session-wayland should be all you need to switch though Cheers Dominique PS: there are issues with 'suid apps' like YaST and gparted, that are not yet fully integrated and fixed. Wayland's default is not to allow anybody but the user connect to the display server.
