This breaks the screen sharing and also the fonts are not as sharp as using the wayland backend. Nightly version 101.0a1 without snap works fine. ``` Gtk-Message: 09:20:51.884: Failed to load module "canberra-gtk-module" Gtk-Message: 09:20:51.885: Failed to load module "canberra-gtk-module" [GFX1-]: glxtest: Could not connect to wayland socket ``` Tested on Ubuntu 21.10 and 22.04 with the latest updates. --- ProblemType: Bug ApportVersion: 2.20.11-0ubuntu82 Architecture: amd64 CasperMD5CheckResult: pass CurrentDesktop: ubuntu:GNOME DistroRelease: Ubuntu 22.04 InstallationDate: Installed on 2021-06-21 (315 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 21.04 "Hirsute Hippo" - Release amd64 (20210420) ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 5.15.0-27.28-generic 5.15.30 Snap: firefox 99.0.1-1 (latest/stable/ubuntu-22.04) Snap.Changes: no changes found Tags: jammy wayland-session Uname: Linux 5.15.0-27-generic x86_64 UpgradeStatus: Upgraded to jammy on 2022-04-28 (4 days ago) UserGroups: docker sudo _MarkForUpload: True To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/firefox/+bug/1970884/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : desktop-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
