I have recently performed massive cleaning of my Fedora 32 system, which included high amount of packages being removed from the system, by the way removing desktop environment I was using. Before, I was using Deepin DE(desktop environment form Deepin OS, backported to Fedora), but I decided to switch back to Fedora-default Gnome. The only problem, I’m experiencing now, is that Gnome uses X11 instead of Wayland, which it has to use by default. I have a suspicion, that while cleaning my system, I might have accidentally deleted some sort of package required for Gnome to work with Wayland. I tried googling some information about managing Wayland. According to information I found, I tried:
- Setting /etc/gdm/custom.conf var ‘WaylandEnable’ to true
WaylandEnable=true
- Setting /etc/gdm/custom.conf var WaylandEnable to false and commenting it
#WaylandEnable=false
By the way, in GDM sessions list, I do not have Gnome on Xorg variant. I have only Gnome and Gnome Classic variants.
I’m not really good at understanding how to professionally manage graphical subsystems like Xorg or Wayland, on Linux, so I don’t know, where to search.
Please help me find out, what I’m missing to make gnome to use wayland or where to see if gnome fallbacks from Wayland to X11(if it so)?
Thanks
