I reverted everything and still no Wayland. Lightdm is going back to log in screen after selecting a Wayland session.
Nothing in dmesg... |
dmesg is rarely useful in this circumstance. What you need to look at is the stdout and stderr from whatever script lightdm uses to invoke your session. I don't use lightdm, but the sddm equivalent gets sent to .local/share/sddm/wayland-session.log. The contents are usually a enormous collection of warnings and error messages and cruft that nobody every bothers to fix in whatever desktop interface you're running.

Lightdm needs X11 even to start a wayland session.
https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/wayland#Display_managers
If you want straight wayland, no X11, then use sddm or start from cmd line.
I have a script that basically sets all env vars that I need then starts the compositor.

Guys…
I am speechless.
I installed sddm and now Wayland works again.
I plan to test Hyperland, solve all my issues, and finally make it my only desktop.
Thanks for suggestions.
BTW, does Wayland need an X USE flag? |

If you ever expect to run X apps with Xwayland, then you will need X11 related stuff.
I've removed X completely from my system, apps that require any part of X11 libs won't run, so there are alternatives.
Gtk and Qt both run under either wayland or X.

I need only GTK. I am trying to get rid of qt whenever possible.
I plan to install Gentoo from scratch using only the newest and greatest technologies like
- no bootloader (booting from EFI - I hate grub sice the beginning, I liked Lilo, but it can't use EFI)
- btrfs instead of ext4
- minimal system with -* USE in make.conf
- Wayland plus Hyprland only without display manager
- Manual, minimal kernel config without iniramfs (I have never had time for this). It is sad to admit the last custom kernel I compiled manually was like 15-20 years ago
 )
- and other only good stuff.
Thanks to this thread, I started experimenting again 
thanks guys.
I have found this:
| Code: | | https://www.reddit.com/r/Gentoo/comments/150r74m/guide_hyprland_nvidia_extremely_minimal_gentoo/ |
It is worth trying. But I will do it my way, using only a few steps from this guide.
If you guys have time, please check these steps and give feedback if you want. |

*IF* you are using applications that utilize cursor warping you are going to have issues with Wayland...
Wayland has not exposed API for this and XWayland does not reproduce the behavior (and also has issues with docks)...
Neither Wayland nor XWayland are complete FACT but it is in a really good spot for day to day usage. I use Wayland daily (thanks to Anon-E moose a few years ago) but I am also using a program via XWayland that does not behave correctly as cursor warping is critical

Returns nothing while in Hyprland using Firefox, nicotine+, rhythmbox, etc...
so maybe not many apps needs X11
after opening Gimp,
xlsclients proudly reports it.
Gimp in Wayland looks TERRIBLE, the font is barely readable... It doesn't use GTK theme.
Do you have the same issues?
@pietinger thanks. I will definitely squeeze every single bit from the system.
I will buy nvme drive tomorrow, so maybe this week it will be installed.
Wayland only Gentoo |

Depends on your version. 2.99.16 (ie the in-dev, built using newer gtk) runs in wayland.

While X11 development has practically stopped, at least they still fix some bugs. But for how long?

Do you know when it will be available in stable?
and another issue with Wayland.
Rhythmbox is crashing often. This morning it is not playing at all.
Need a restart...

Are you currently running Gnome, KDE or Hyprland?
Can you run rythmbox in terminal or in some other way so that you could grab its terminal output (stdout as well stderr).

Not for quite some time...
GIMP3 has been an illusive release and v2.99.16 is BETA (really good beta mind...)
Back in July of this year there was HOPE for a v3.0.0-rc0 build but it is now October so there is a high chance the 1st RC won't appear until december. MAYBE just MAYBE the full release will be done by March 2024 and then it will take several months before it is in the stable branch of Gentoo.
In short I wouldn't be surprised in seeing GIMP-3.0.# in Gentoo-stable by Oct-2024

I tried to install it:
| Code: |
emerge -av =media-gfx/gimp-2.99.16
These are the packages that would be merged, in order:
Calculating dependencies ... done!

^^^^
It may be possible to solve this problem by using package.mask to
prevent one of those packages from being selected. However, it is also
possible that conflicting dependencies exist such that they are
impossible to satisfy simultaneously. If such a conflict exists in
the dependencies of two different packages, then those packages can
not be installed simultaneously. You may want to try a larger value of
the --backtrack option, such as --backtrack=30, in order to see if
that will solve this conflict automatically.
For more information, see MASKED PACKAGES section in the emerge man
page or refer to the Gentoo Handbook. |
I will just wait |

Do you need/use xsane? this is the package that is holding you back.
Option1 : wait
Option2 : -gimp and re-emerge xsane
Option3 : emerge -c xsane

It died a moment ago:
| Code: | rhythmbox
(rhythmbox:17460): Gtk-WARNING **: 10:26:10.134: Calling org.freedesktop.portal.Inhibit.Inhibit failed: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.UnknownMethod: No such interface “org.freedesktop.portal.Inhibit” on object at path /org/freedesktop/portal/desktop
fish: Job 1, 'rhythmbox' terminated by signal SIGTERM (Polite quit request) |
I noticed that nicotine dies together with rhythmbox. I'll track it too. Something terminated them together.
| Quote: | | Do you need/use xsane? this is the package that is holding you back. |
My HP printer needs it, but I use my phone to scan documents, so good point.
Now gimp is installed
| Code: | gimp -v
GNU Image Manipulation Program version 2.99.16
git-describe: GIMP_2_99_16
Build: unknown rev 0 for linux |
Yes, it looks as it should. Menus look insane
Thanks |

I would guess this is some program-library version or protocol version mismatch. Or maybe dbus not running at all.
Does this happen if you launch hyprland from vt via | Code: | | dbus-launch --exit-with-session hyprland [args] |
?

If you have it either xdg-desktop-portal-hyprland or xdg-desktop-portal-wlr emerged they should auto start.

So it looks like I dont have xdg-desktop-portal-hyprland in portage. Wlr was not emerged automatically either. |

gui-libs/xdg-desktop-portal-hyprland would have to come from one of the repos like guru
gui-libs/xdg-desktop-portal-wlr will work and is in gentoo's repo
either need an explicit emerge, but they will pull in xdg-desktop-portal on their own. Sorry I didn't explain better.
so "emerge -v xdg-desktop-portal-<whichever you choose>" will work and pull in xdg-desktop-portal.

No worries
but I have
| Code: | | [IP-] [ ] sys-apps/xdg-desktop-portal-1.18.0-r2:0 |
installed.
Do I still need to install gui-libs/xdg-desktop-portal-wlr? |

yes, but are they running?
some of the issues I was having with SWAY turned out to be the required portals (including a missing flatpak portal)

Not everything works well without out the portal, I had trouble with sound (bluetooth) until I switched it on.
| Code: | 17011 ? /usr/libexec/xdg-desktop-portal
17016 ? /usr/libexec/xdg-document-portal
17026 ? \_ fusermount3 -o rw,nosuid,nodev,fsname=portal,auto_unmount,subtype=portal -- /tmp/.runtime/doc
17020 ? /usr/libexec/xdg-permission-store
17033 ? /usr/libexec/xdg-desktop-portal-hyprland |
As you can see a few things are started portal-wise
Edit to add: From the readme xdg-desktop-portal
| Code: | To implement most portals, xdg-desktop-portal relies on a backend
that provides implementations of the org.freedesktop.impl.portal.\* interfaces.
Different backends are available see:
- GTK [xdg-desktop-portal-gtk](http://github.com/flatpak/xdg-desktop-portal-gtk)
- GNOME [xdg-desktop-portal-gnome](https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/xdg-desktop-portal-gnome/)
- KDE [xdg-desktop-portal-kde](https://invent.kde.org/plasma/xdg-desktop-portal-kde)
- LXQt [xdg-desktop-portal-lxqt](https://github.com/lxqt/xdg-desktop-portal-lxqt)
- Pantheon (Elementary) [xdg-desktop-portal-pantheon](https://github.com/elementary/portals)
- wlroots [xdg-desktop-portal-wlr](https://github.com/emersion/xdg-desktop-portal-wlr) |
So you probably need to emerge either hyprland or wlr version of portal
