Eos-welcome seg faults

I was using default desktop manager from the offline installation and I was going through the welcome tool to look at extras but I went and change my manager and I can’t reopen eos-welcome

Thanks for the report.
To be able to reproduce this behavior, could you tell

  • the version of the welcome package (pacman -Q welcome)
  • which manager did you change to which?

So the more exact steps you can tell, the easier it is to reproduce here.

In addition, could you show the output of command

ls -l ~/.cache/sessions

The version of welcome is 1.10-3
And I believe that I clicked the top most manager in the window. I did this on the 21st.

ls -l ~/.cache/sessions/
total 28

So I’ve updated to welcome 1.10-4 and it still seg faults when I try to run it from terminal

It looks like you clicked on gdm maybe? @manuel It seems like it may be running wayland instead of x11?

Edit: “GtkPlug only works under X11” Is this relevant?

Yes I did click on gdm. Typing GDK_BACKEND=x11 eos-welcome opened it right up allowing me to go back to lightdm. Thank you for that
