Hi Samuel, you are onto something there:

Would that be on the text console, or „terminal“ launched from the GNOME app starter? On tty1 in text mode, i.e. when no GNOME is running yet, XDG_VTNR=1 is set, but none of the other three you mentioned. According to: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/GNOME#Manually I have created the following file: $ cat /etc/systemd/system/[email protected]/wayland.conf [Service] Environment=XDG_SESSION_TYPE=wayland This allows me to launch GNOME by executing on tty1: gnome-session When I launch „terminal“ from within my GNOME session, XDG_VTNR is not set anymore, but DISPLAY and WAYLAND_DISPLAY are. No WINDOWPATH, though, I'm afraid. > > Please also post the content of > > /proc/1234/environ > > where you replace 1234 with the pid of orca, so we get to know what > exactly orca has as environment variables. This file appears to be empty since cat produces no output. Do you have any suggestion how to proceed?
