GTKLAYERSHELL IS NOT SUPPORTED #155

Closed cvasilak closed 2 years ago

cvasilak commented 2 years ago

Hello there,

thank you for your work on this. Attempting to run swaync I get the following error message:

** (swaync:26161): WARNING **: 14:25:38.568: It appears your Wayland compositor does not support the Layer Shell protocol GTKLAYERSHELL IS NOT SUPPORTED! Swaync only works on Wayland! If running waylans session, try running: GDK_BACKEND=wayland swaync

The same happens when using the prefix GDK_BACKEND as suggested in the message.

Which WM are you using?

Ridhubharan commented 2 years ago

Same issue. Also running Fedora 36(gnome) using Wayland.

ErikReider commented 2 years ago

Swaync doesn't support Gnome or rather Gnome doesn't support the layershell standard

Ridhubharan commented 2 years ago

That's funny because this software was recommended by Fedora in their newsletter!

ErikReider commented 2 years ago

@Ridhubharan Could you send me the link? Would be fun to read :)

cvasilak commented 2 years ago

@Ridhubharan indeed, found out about the project cause it was mentioned in the Fedora newsletter 🙂

I'll update the README with info about which WMs are supported. The current layershell protocol is unstable but a new one is in the works Draft: ext-layer-shell: new protocol

So if Gnome would support that protocol, this would theoretically work?

Ridhubharan commented 2 years ago

Ok. If it does work in the future, ping me!

ErikReider commented 2 years ago

Will do! :)
