A little rough around the edges but it works.

Re: Xfce 4.20pre1 Wayland

lightdm. Had to adjust the startup session file to get it to work properly:

$ cat /usr/share/wayland-sessions/xfce-wayland.desktop  | grep Exec
Exec=startxfce4 --wayland wayfire

My wayfire.ini config file.

Re: Xfce 4.20pre1 Wayland

That makes sense. I had trouble getting LightDM to start a wayland session. I think it was Sway I was messing with.

Edit: It was labwc.

Re: Xfce 4.20pre1 Wayland

I used the packages in Debian experimental repo. Still a bit clunky and I need to figure out how to set it all up but it works.

Nice. I understand that support for wayland is still experimental in 4.20 and it will be a future release where it will get ironed out better.

Re: Xfce 4.20pre1 Wayland

Seems more issues popping up. After using wcm to make some changes wf-shell(panel) seems to be crashing. I removed the .ini files for a fresh restart but after a few changes........rinse and repeat. I have minimal changes right now and it seems stable atm.

Other issues. Once the panel crashed I was getting this notification but I'm not sure how to attack it.

Also seem that the xfce4-panel won't start.

Other than that, on the xserver side everything works beautifully and looks great as well.
