No Wayland option after DNF based upgrade?
by Sanne Grinovero
Hello,
on one of my workstations I installed Fedora 24 "clean": wiped the
hard drive, new partitions and installed Fedora 24 Workstation from
the USB stick.
Everything worked fine in this case, and as expected - according to
various blogs I've found - when logging in I can choose between:
- "Gnome"
- "Gnome classic"
- "Gnome on Wayland"
On some other workstations, I performed a non-destructive upgrade from
Fedora 23 using dnf, and in this case the Wayland option is missing.
The related packages seems to be installed according to dnf though. (I
might be wrong as I'm not entirely sure which packages might control
this, but I see several wayland related packages are installed).
On one of the workstations which is missing the Wayland option during
login I'm having some issues with graphics; like google chrome
sometimes showing artifacts, and occasionally my whole graphical
environment disappears temporarily, to see the login terminal for some
seconds.
Nothing bad really happens, I press some CTRL+ALT+F? combinations and
the graphical environment reappears (I think it was F2 but I'm not
sure).
So I'd like to try my luck with Wayland instead.. or maybe I'm running
Wayland already? I'm not sure :)
Any idea?
Thanks,
Sanne
