layer shell is not available: NotPresent #295

I tried install swww from dnf copr enable alebastr/sway-extras. I am using fedora 40 on GNOME. wayland should be enabled. I got this errors:

keyhost505@fedora:~$ swww-daemon thread 'main' panicked at daemon/src/main.rs:287:57: layer shell is not available: NotPresent note: run with RUST_BACKTRACE=1 environment variable to display a backtrace 05:35:28 [INFO] (main) Removed socket at "/run/user/1000/swww.socket"

How to fix this?

Error: "Socket file not found. Are you sure swww-daemon is running?"

As the error indicates, Gnome does not implement the LayerShell protocol, and so swww cannot run in it. There have been multiple issues similar to this already, such as: #162
