It seems Canonical made things way more difficult than it should be. On Fedora there is a settings button where you select or enter your user name on the gdm login screen. There you can select Gnome (defaults to Wayland), Gnome on Xorg, KDE Plasma (defaults to Xorg), KDE Plasma on Wayland, and if you have other desktop environments those have menu entries as well. There should be no need to disable either xorg or wayland, the system should be able to start the correct environment when needed. My system goes back and forth, I typically use Plasma on Xorg, one of my kids used to use Gnome on Wayland, but some game didn't handle graphics correctly on Wayland so switched back to Gnome on Xorg. The screen goes blank for about a quarter or half second when switching back and forth between a Wayland desktop and an Xorg desktop, but that is the only noticeable effect. -- Chris Caudle _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user
