I installed the Groovy-proposed updates, including: Package mutter: p A 3.38.1-1ubuntu1 groovy 500 i A 3.38.1-2ubuntu1 100
Running a Snap results in the same error: $ joplin-james-carroll.joplin (joplin:40222): Gtk-WARNING **: 07:02:09.027: cannot open display: :0 $ chromium [43799:43799:1123/070612.587261:ERROR:browser_main_loop.cc(1434)] Unable to open X display. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to mutter in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1897224 Title: Graphical snaps can't run in Gnome 3.38 Wayland sessions (can't open X display) Status in Mutter: Unknown Status in snapd: In Progress Status in mutter package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in snapd package in Ubuntu: Won't Fix Status in mutter source package in Groovy: Fix Committed Status in snapd source package in Groovy: Won't Fix Status in mutter source package in Hirsute: Fix Released Status in snapd source package in Hirsute: Won't Fix Bug description: [Impact] * Users who select the Wayland session on Ubuntu 20.10 cannot run snap confined X11 applications, due to gnome-shell no longer listening on an abstract socket for connections. * The fix, which has been accepted into upstream's gnome-3-38 branch reverts the change removing the abstract socket, and fixes the bug that prompted it's removal: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/merge_requests/1508 [Test Case] * Start with a stock Ubuntu 20.10 desktop install. * At the GDM login screen, after selecting your user account use the gear icon to select the "Ubuntu on Wayland" session, and log in. * Ensure Chromium is installed by running "sudo snap install chromium". * Try to run "chromium" from the terminal. Without the fix, it will fail with the error "Unable to open X display". With the fix applied, it will launch as normal. [Regression Potential] * The patch modifies the logic gnome-shell uses to launch Xwayland. So there is a potential that the change could break X11 application support on the Wayland session. * The default configuration for gnome-shell is to launch Xwayland on session start, so it should be immediately obvious if there are problems. * In addition to checking snapped X11 apps like Chromium, verify that a few classic X11 apps still launch correctly (e.g. xterm, xeyes, etc). [Other Info] * Running "ss -xlp | grep Xwayland" should show that it is listening on both "/tmp/.X11-unix/X0" (the regular unix domain socket) and "@/tmp/.X11-unix/X0" (the abstract socket). --- I'm trying to run chromium installed via snap in Ubuntu 20.10 when running Ubuntu Wayland session. Unfortunately, chromium wouldn't start: > chromium [49244:49244:0925/094607.732169:ERROR:browser_main_loop.cc(1417)] Unable to open X display. I am able to run Firefox just fine (assuming that Firefox still runs on xwayland) and also Intellij snap works fine.
