Wayland not listed by the login manager after installing OS

devmahdish · May 29, 2021, 7:18pm

Hey guys,
I have a Opensuse Tumbleweed x86_64 with Gnome and I already have gnome-session-wayland installed but wayland isn’t listed by the login manager.
When I enter “echo $XDG_SESSION_TYPE” I get “x11” and also my display manager “/etc/alternatives/default-displaymanager -> /usr/lib/X11/displaymanagers/gdm”.
I have my Nvidia graphics card driver up to date.
Kernel: “5.12.4-1-default”
DE: “GNOME 40.0”

Hi and welcome to the forum
It is the default, eg GNOME, only (if like me) want to switch to Xorg or other… you can verify via;


echo $XDG_SESSION_TYPE

or

loginctl show-session <number> -p Type

devmahdish · May 29, 2021, 7:37pm


echo $XDG_SESSION_TYPE

Output:
x11

loginctl show-session <number> -p Type

Command "loginctl show-session 1 -p Type" output:
Type=x11

Hi
If using nvidia also need to edit /etc/gdm/custom.conf to disable Wayland for gdm and use Xorg…

devmahdish · May 29, 2021, 7:48pm

But I want to have Wayland.

There is no Wayland as you can see.

devmahdish · May 29, 2021, 8:07pm

First config:


# GDM configuration storage
#
# Note: settings from /etc/sysconfig/displaymanager have a higher priority
#


[daemon]
# Uncomment the line below to force the login screen to use Xorg
WaylandEnable=true


[security]


[xdmcp]


[chooser]


[debug]
# Uncomment the line below to turn on debugging
#Enable=true

Second config:


# GDM configuration storage
#
# Note: settings from /etc/sysconfig/displaymanager have a higher priority
#


[daemon]
# Uncomment the line below to force the login screen to use Xorg
WaylandEnable=false


[security]


[xdmcp]


[chooser]


[debug]
# Uncomment the line below to turn on debugging
#Enable=true

Third config:


# GDM configuration storage
#
# Note: settings from /etc/sysconfig/displaymanager have a higher priority
#


[daemon]
# Uncomment the line below to force the login screen to use Xorg
#WaylandEnable=false


[security]


[xdmcp]


[chooser]


[debug]
# Uncomment the line below to turn on debugging
#Enable=true

None of these three cases worked.

I have installed gnome-session-wayland and must use the second gnome entry in my sddm displaymanager:
https://www.krauttranslate.de/~sauerland/Auswahl_148.jpg

deano_ferrari · May 30, 2021, 12:01am

+1 from me. The entries can be renamed (to be more meaningful) if desired.

malcolmlewis · May 30, 2021, 12:17am

Hi
GNOME=Wayland as indicated in previous post, it does not explicitly say Wayland as that is the openSUSE GNOME Default…

arvidjaar · May 30, 2021, 7:37am

GDM explicitly disables Wayland with nvidia. See /usr/lib/udev/rules.d/61-gdm.rules

devmahdish · May 30, 2021, 8:54am

Problem solved by installing KDE and using sddm as the default display manager.
I can now choose Gnome x11 or Gnome Wayland or Gnome on Xorg by the login options.
lol!

deano_ferrari · May 30, 2021, 9:18am

Thanks for the update! Well done.
