I usually boot to multi-user, and then start the X server and client from a terminal using startx. It works great for X, but I would like to do the same for wayland. After reading the man for startx, I came up with putting #!/bin/bash
exec startlxde -- /usr/bin/Xwayland into my ~/.Xclients file and then running startx. It seems to work, as I get a graphical interface running lxde. But am I really running wayland instead of X? Because it looks so much like X, I couldn't see that it wasn't X, and I wondered if startx just ignored the server request and used its default, X. How would I tell? There was no process Xwayland when I checked.
If this isn't the way to start wayland from the command line, how would I do that?
Thanks.
If you run "startx", then you're running Xorg.
The nearest equivalent for Wayland is probably "weston-launch". As far as I know, LXDE doesn't yet support Wayland.
