Package: gdm3 Version: 3.14.2-1 Severity: wishlist Currently, it is possible to use GNOME on Wayland.
When logged in, looking at the process list, we have: rrs@chutzpah:~$ ps aux | grep X root 4279 0.0 0.3 166428 24476 tty7 Ssl+ 21:57 0:01 /usr/bin/Xorg :0 -novtswitch -background none -noreset -verbose 3 -auth /var/run/gdm3/auth-for-Debian-gdm-AKmOjL/database -seat seat0 -nolisten tcp vt7 rrs 4408 2.6 0.8 288008 61564 ?

From what I've understood so far, gdm has default wayland support in 3.16, with a fallback to Xorg incase it fails. It'd be really awesome to have gdm 3.16 in the archive with wayland support (perhaps have Xorg as the default and let wayland users enable it), so that interested users can play around and provide feedback. -- System Information: Debian Release: stretch/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing'), (500, 'unstable'), (100, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 4.1.3+ (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_IN, LC_CTYPE=en_IN (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages gdm3 depends on: ii accountsservice 0.6.40-2 ii adduser 3.113+nmu3 ii awesome [x-window-manager] 3.5.6-1 ii dconf-cli 0.24.0-2 ii dconf-gsettings-backend 0.24.0-2 ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.57 ii gir1.2-gdm3 3.14.2-1 ii gnome-session [x-session-manager] 3.16.0-1 ii gnome-session-bin 3.16.0-1 ii gnome-settings-daemon 3.16.2-3 ii gnome-shell 3.16.3-1 ii gnome-terminal [x-terminal-emulator] 3.16.2-1 ii gsettings-desktop-schemas 3.16.1-1 ii konsole [x-terminal-emulator] 4:4.14.2-1 ii libaccountsservice0 0.6.40-2 ii libaudit1 1:2.4.2-1 ii libc6 2.19-19 ii libcanberra-gtk3-0 0.30-2.1 ii libcanberra0 0.30-2.1 ii libgdk-pixbuf2.0-0 2.31.4-2 ii libgdm1 3.14.2-1 ii libglib2.0-0 2.44.1-1.1 ii libglib2.0-bin 2.44.1-1.1 ii libgtk-3-0 3.16.5-1 ii libpam-modules 1.1.8-3.1 ii libpam-runtime 1.1.8-3.1 ii libpam-systemd 222-2 ii libpam0g 1.1.8-3.1 ii librsvg2-common 2.40.9-2 ii libselinux1 2.3-2+b1 ii libsystemd0 222-2 ii libwrap0 7.6.q-25 ii libx11-6 2:1.6.3-1 ii libxau6 1:1.0.8-1 ii libxdmcp6 1:1.1.2-1 ii libxrandr2 2:1.4.2-1+b1 ii lsb-base 4.1+Debian13+nmu1 ii metacity [x-window-manager] 1:3.17.2-4 ii mutter [x-window-manager] 3.16.3-1 ii pantheon-terminal [x-terminal-emulator] 0.3.0.1-1~experimental1 ii policykit-1 0.105-11 ii ucf 3.0030 ii x11-common 1:7.7+9 ii x11-xserver-utils 7.7+4 Versions of packages gdm3 recommends: ii at-spi2-core 2.16.0-1 ii desktop-base 8.0.2 ii gnome-icon-theme 3.12.0-1 ii gnome-icon-theme-symbolic 3.12.0-1 ii x11-xkb-utils 7.7+2 ii xserver-xephyr 2:1.17.2-1 ii xserver-xorg 1:7.7+9 ii zenity 3.16.3-1 Versions of packages gdm3 suggests: ii gnome-orca 3.16.2-1 ii libpam-gnome-keyring 3.16.0-4 -- debconf information: gdm3/daemon_name: /usr/sbin/gdm3 * shared/default-x-display-manager: gdm3 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
