Black screen on Xwayland

[marcelovbcfilho]

What happened

I saw that my computer have updated and now it was possible to use Wayland on my GeForce card. So I restarted the computer and selected Gnome on Wayland. Most of the apps are working fine, except for Slack and some others.

Steps to reproduce

1. Have a computer with GeForce card and running Fedora 35
2. Log in using Gnome on Wayland and open slack

Expected behavior

When using Wayland the app work as expected.

OS version

Fedora 35

Software version

Slack: 4.21.1 64-bit Xwayland: 21.1.3-1.fc35

Hardware info

Observations

Running with the following parameters did not work, in other apps that use Electrom they've worked. --enable-features=UseOzonePlatform --ozone-platform=wayland

But when I disable the GPU it works. --disable-gpu

I'm having this problem too. Thanks @marcelovbcfilho for the --disable-gpu workaround.

How do I apply this?

[alvarlagerlof]

I think this needs to be applied https://github.com/razzeee/im.riot.Riot/commit/2b9214a466669c8a84cbfc7b87ecff2f1cfe8db4

This issue is still present for me. I have to use --disable-gpu to get the window to display anything. This is on xwayland, both gnome and kde, with nvidia drivers.

[marcelovbcfilho]

This actually was fixed with the latest nvidia drivers 510.47.03, apparently it was a nvidia problem.

[pedrovanzella]

Interesting. I'm running 510.47.03 and the problem still exists.

[marcelovbcfilho]

Well actually I was wrong, for some reason my SO decided to run slack with the integrated graphics card that is radeon and because of that slack is working for me on wayland... Sorry my bad.

But yes, probably now this is a Slack problem, because chromium that is where slack is build on top of is working ok on wayland with nvidia, they probably need to update the electron version.

In the following image I disabled integrated graphics card on bios and am only using the nvidia one.

[alvarlagerlof]

510.47.03 did not fix this for me either. I think it's the app or the flatpak config.

[alvarlagerlof]

This seems to be fixed for me now. Does it work for anyone else?

[tfmoraes]

It's working for me too.

[alvarlagerlof]

@marcelovbcfilho Does it work now for you?

[marcelovbcfilho]

Well this is hard for me to answer, I recently changed my GTX card for a Radeon and with the radeon it works just fine on wayland.

[alvarlagerlof]

Maybe this should be closed then since it works for two people on Nvidia. @marcelovbcfilho will you close it?

[pedrovanzella]

Working for me on nvidia too.
