Hello,
on one of my workstations I installed Fedora 24 "clean": wiped the hard drive, new partitions and installed Fedora 24 Workstation from the USB stick.
Everything worked fine in this case, and as expected - according to various blogs I've found - when logging in I can choose between:
- "Gnome" - "Gnome classic" - "Gnome on Wayland"
On some other workstations, I performed a non-destructive upgrade from Fedora 23 using dnf, and in this case the Wayland option is missing. The related packages seems to be installed according to dnf though. (I might be wrong as I'm not entirely sure which packages might control this, but I see several wayland related packages are installed).
On one of the workstations which is missing the Wayland option during login I'm having some issues with graphics; like google chrome sometimes showing artifacts, and occasionally my whole graphical environment disappears temporarily, to see the login terminal for some seconds. Nothing bad really happens, I press some CTRL+ALT+F? combinations and the graphical environment reappears (I think it was F2 but I'm not sure).
So I'd like to try my luck with Wayland instead.. or maybe I'm running Wayland already? I'm not sure :)
Any idea?
Thanks, Sanne
Dear Sanne, I would like to ask you additional question. For nondestructive upgrade did you use system-upgrade plugin and work-flow described here (https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/DNF_system_upgrade#How_do_I_use_it.3F)?
If yes it would be interesting to compare installed packages on both machines.
