Hello, I’m new to EndeavourOS/Arch Linux, so building the desktop environment took a long time and it still doesn’t work well.
The information of my system is here: https://0x0.st/Hsu9.txt
So I chose Gnome as the desktop environment during the image installation, I thought it will be on Wayland mode out of the box as the new version was introduced, but not true for me. I use the command echo $XDG_SESSION_TYPE for a check, and it keeps showing x11, although I tried several solutions including the step 1 and 3 from: https://discovery.endeavouros.com/nvidia/nvidia-optional-enhancements-and-troubleshooting/2021/03/
I also commented out every “dm_disable_wayland” line in the file /usr/lib/udev/rules.d/61-gdm.rules
Following this Arch wiki(https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/NVIDIA/Tips_and_tricks#Preserve_video_memory_after_suspend)
I enabled the nvidia-suspend.service
, nvidia-hibernate.service
and nvidia-resume.service
.
The etc/modprobe.d/nvidia-power-management.conf file has also been created as:
options nvidia NVreg_PreserveVideoMemoryAllocations=1 NVreg_TemporaryFilePath=/var/tmp
But still had no luck, the Gnome keeps working in X11 mode after restarting.
I noticed that the login interface of GDM has no options for Wayland so I installed SDDM for a try, and it just works. There are in total 4 available login sessions including:
Gnome on Wayland(Wayland)
Gnome(Wayland)
Gnome on Xorg
Gnome
Everything works well in the first Wayland session (e.g. fractional scaling), except the suspend state.
I wonder if anybody successfully uses Wayland Gnome together with the image’s default Nvidia driver and GDM? If so, how did you achieve that? I’m especially curious about why SDDM makes Gnome works well under Wayland while GDM fails, Thank you!
