I'm trying to play with Wayland. The issues so far
1. I originally had XFCE pattern when installing TW. I installed gnome-wayland-session pattern which pulled in some dependencies including gdm. But gdm simply does not work - whatever session I select it fails to login as any user.
Weird. No problems here with GDM. But I did install the "Gnome Base System" and "Gnome Desktop Environment" patterns.
2. In lightdm I see two GNOME sessions and one "GNOME Xorg" session.
That's probably not going to work. When I last experimented with this, I could only start Gnome-Wayland with either GDM or SDDM. And I could only start Plasma-Wayland with SDDM. That was a few months ago, so perhaps it has changed. I was unable to start any Wayland session with "lightdm". Gnome-Wayland seems to work pretty well if started from GDM. If I start from SDDM, then the Gnome keyring is not open for the session.
Whatever session I select I apparently end up in GNOME on Xorg (at least if I can believe loginctl session type). How can I start GNOME Wayland session from display manager? What gnome-session-wayland is supposed to do - desktop file it installs is not in any way different from "normal" desktop?
Starting Gnome-Wayland from GDM, I think depends on GDM itself running under Wayland. If I use SDDM, then I don't think that runs under Wayland, and it can start Gnome-Wayland. Oh, and yes, running an "xterm" in Gnome-Wayland, I do sometimes have a key press spurt out a whole line of duplicates of that character. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
