[Bug 1897224] Re: Graphical snaps can't run in Gnome 3.38 Wayland sessions (can't open X display)
Seeing as the issue was solved for two other people, I had another go -
this time explicitly installing all mutter-related packages from
-proposed (and not just 'mutter'):
$ aptitude upgrade libmutter-7-0 mutter mutter-common
Lo and behold, the socket showed up:
$ sudo ss -xlp | grep Xwayland
u_str LISTEN 0 1 @/tmp/.X11-unix/X0 60747* 0
users:(("Xwayland",pid=2371,fd=4))
u_str LISTEN 0 1 @/tmp/.X11-unix/X1 60749* 0
users:(("Xwayland",pid=2371,fd=7))
u_str LISTEN 0 1/tmp/.X11-unix/X0 60748* 0
users:(("Xwayland",pid=2371,fd=5))
and I can confirm that my graphical snaps all work again. I suspect that
in my first try, not all packages were upgraded. I'm not sure, but
perhaps that points at a dependency issue with the packages in
-proposed.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug, mentioning the version of the package you tested, what testing has been performed on the package and change the tag from verification-needed- groovy to verification-done-groovy. If it does not fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification- failed-groovy. In either case, without details of your testing we will not be able to proceed. Further information regarding the verification process can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification . Thank you in advance for helping! N.B.

I've just upgraded to groovy and hit this bug. For now I'm using socat as a workaround: socat abstract-listen:/tmp/.X11-unix/X0,reuseaddr,fork unix:/tmp/.X11-unix/X0 This works, but is rather slow (and probably also opens a security hole on multiuser machines). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1897224 Title: Graphical snaps can't run in Gnome 3.38 Wayland sessions (can't open X display) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/mutter/+bug/1897224/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I had a go at fixing this in https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/merge_requests/1508 -- taking the patches from that MR and applying them to the Groovy mutter source package gave me a Wayland session that supported X11 snaps again. It is probably worth waiting for a review from upstream before going further. I've done the testing they asked for with the "autostart- xwayland" feature enabled, so hopefully that will come soon. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1897224 Title: Graphical snaps can't run in Gnome 3.38 Wayland sessions (can't open X display) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/mutter/+bug/1897224/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
