Cannot login to a regolith on wayland session

meatballs commented 1 year ago

[x] I've run a search on the existing bug reports to make sure I'm not filing a duplicate (you can use the search box at the top left corner)
[x] I've read the Regolith documentation and didn't find any relevant topic
[ ] I tried asking on Slack (especially for configuration related issues)

Describe the bug When I attempt to login to a regolith on wayland session, I'm taken straight back to the login screen.

regolith on x11 works fine as does an ordinary ubuntu desktop on wayland

Installation Details

Regolith Version: 3.0
PPA url: https://regolith-desktop.org/release-3_0-ubuntu-jammy-amd64
Host OS (for PPA): Ubuntu 22.04

Are you using proprietary nvidia drivers?

meatballs commented 1 year ago

Yes, as I put in the additional context - version 535

meatballs commented 1 year ago

No problem! It made me double check again, so no bad thing!

SoumyaRanjanPatnaik commented 1 year ago

Ohh sorry. I missed it. In that case you should check this out. Sway doesn't officially support proprietary drivers nor does Regolith. You need to enable it explicitly.

Ahhhh..... Once I saw the driver was good enough for ubuntu to offer me the normal desktop on wayland, I thought I was good to go. I'll read a little more....

Thank you

Yep, that fixed it. Either switching to nouveau or adding that line makes everything work fine. Sorry I missed that in the docs and thanks for the help.
