I’ll make a VM to replicate. I saw Cinnamon and plasma? And xfce-terminal all mentioned. Which one? I want to see what you see.

I’ll start a vm and see if I can recreate it in plasma wayland.
EOS + plasma-wayland-session. Everything works as expected here too @manuel they must have some other config issue.

as far as i understand @endbob (nice username b.t.w. ) is using xfce4-terminal under plasma?
And have set it to be used for eos-yad services?

Can confirm - when making xfce4-terminal the default application - the update button in welcome app no longer works when I click on it.

Interesting.
Welcome is based on yad which has some known problems with wayland protocols.
So setting konsole as the default terminal with KDE / wayland is the recommended setting.
Also, in file /etc/eos-script-lib-yad.conf there’s a setting EOS_YAD_TERMINAL that should be set to "konsole".
looks like xfce4-terminal is getting lost under qt and wayland … do not know how to appear properly

It’s not just QT/Plasma; on my other eos installation Gnome Wayland has the same issue.
Also both were working fine until April 1st.

so the issue could be … xfce4-terminal running under wayland. also it was not an issue before it could be it now…
you could try downgrading it to version before…
sudo downgrade xfce4-terminal
As it is indeed also working with xfce4-terminal under xfce4 and also on other xorg based WM/DE

Felt sure that was going to work, but…it didn’t
Is there anyway of downgrading eos-welcome?
Thanks for everyone’s efforts, btw
How did you “downgrade” xfce4-terminal? You should be able to downgrade welcome as well in the same manner.
Are you also using xfce4-terminal on your Gnome install?

I just followed the instructions in the post above by @joekamprad
Unfortunately it won’t let me downgrade eos-welcome in the same manner (it complains about No results found).
Yes, Gnome also appears to be using xfce4-terminal.
we do not archive packages …

In addition, I think downgrading welcome would help nothing.

indeed … i suggest downgrading xfce4-terminal only… as it was updated on 1. April…

I did, and it didn’t make any difference.
For now, until it’s fixed, your best work around is updating the old fashion way and not using the welcome app, or changing your default terminal back to konsole and stop using xfce4-terminal.

Yeah, I’ve pretty much accepted I’ll need to use Pacman in Wayland for the time being.
Incidentally, my default terminal in Plasma has always been konsole, and still is now. I don’t know why eos-terminal uses xfce4-terminal instead. Maybe it’s because I installed xfce later on and it seems to have taken over that function.
Anyway, thanks again for your efforts.
I can’t reply on that or how it would work. But I had zero issue when konsole was the default terminal and xfce-terminal installed. I could not recreate that bug.
