I detest a graphical login and insist on running in multi-user mode (old runlevel 3). To start an X11 session after login, I can use the startx command. But I haven't found an equivalent command to start a Wayland session.
An old post on this list suggests using weston-launch. But dnf says there is no package that includes such a command and I can't find any other weston command that looks likely. Surely I can't be the only one wanting to start from a command line?
(The target is a system running 64-bit F38 fully updated.)
Yesterday I tried started a session using:
if [[ -z $DISPLAY && $XDG_SESSION_TYPE == tty ]]; then MOZ_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1 QT_QPA_PLATFORM=wayland XDG_SESSION_TYPE=wayland exec dbus-run-session gnome-session fi
This has been working since yesterday, but today with bright sun I discovered that the brightness setting isn't available. Fortunately this was a problem with some Fedora update and I have a script that uses ddcutil to adjust brightness, but nw wonder what other differences may turn up.
