How do I get wayland properly working on my workstation?
You have nVidia HW and are using the nVidia drivers packaged by rpmfusion.
To give any opinion about you chances to get wayland working one would need to know your HW and what version of the driver you're running. If your HW is 8 years old, then my guess would be your chances of getting wayland running are slim.
I'm at Fedora-33. The graphics card is nVidia GeForce GTX 660/PCIe/SSE2.
The driver (from dnf info): Name : kmod-nvidia-5.11.13-200.fc33.x86_64 Epoch : 3 Version : 460.67 Release : 1.fc33 Architecture : x86_64 Size : 43 M Source : nvidia-kmod-460.67-1.fc33.src.rpm Repository : @System From repo : @commandline Summary : nvidia kernel module(s) for 5.11.13-200.fc33.x86_64 URL : http://www.nvidia.com/ License : Redistributable, no modification permitted Description : This package provides the nvidia kernel modules built for the : Linux kernel 5.11.13-200.fc33.x86_64 for the x86_64 family of : processors.
It is my understanding that wayland should have been installed by default when I did an upgrade some time ago, a few releases ago. A year ago, just after upgrading to F-31, I started having problems with xeyes. I submitted this bug: "https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1825370". The xeyes problem went away for unknown reasons prior to last November. I also see that "earlyoom" should have been installed by default in some earlier release, but I don't have it. I'm wondering if wayland and earlyoom did get installed and then later removed or de-activated. I'm also wondering what else I should have but am missing. In other words, do I have a broader problem?
I will shortly go off line for weekly patches. I should be back on early this afternoon (US mountain time).
