      From: MikeE@ster.invalid              I got into a wayland session - yay!              Mike Easter wrote:       > Also, absent that login menu which I'm finding impossible to enable,       > I haven't been able to find command line instructions to enable       > wayland.              I finally found an instruction which had the key words to show me the way.              Since this is a live, my strategy has been to logout/in, but I       encountered instructions which took away the logout/in (in favor of a       reboot, which loses the changes of a live) and gave me the choice of       systemctl restart gdm3 because it said:              > After you have made the desired changes, save this file and exit it.       > You will need to restart GDM3 or reboot your Ubuntu 22.04 desktop for       > the changes to take effect.              So, using the live session, I simply change the custom.conf by accessing       it w/ the default gedit started w/ sudo to enable wayland and restart       gdm3 w/ systemctl              $ sudo systemctl restart gdm3              I still haven't figured out how to get the menu, but for now I'll assume       that 'you can't get there' in a live session because its user ubuntu       isn't the same kind of user as you would have w/ a conventional install.        The login screen isn't 'conventional' compared to screenshots I've       seen for Ub 22.04 installed. That is, there *isn't* a login screen w/       the default live boot and if you logout/in to get one, it isn't the same       as a conventional installed Ub 22.04 and there is no gear icon.              --       Mike Easter              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
