XWayland issue

Sapiens Ranae · 2025-06-08 14:35:27

So everything worked fine, but after resent update Some x11 apps stopped working. I tried googling myself, but I could figure it out. So simple apps like xclock work fine, but something more complicated does not

flatpak run io.missioncenter.MissionCenter

F: Not sharing "/dev/dri" with sandbox: Path "/dev" is reserved by Flatpak
MissionCenter::Application-Message: 13:33:05.456: Starting Mission Center v1.0.2

(missioncenter:2): Gtk-WARNING **: 13:33:05.466: Failed to open display

also proton / steam does not work, because it is also x11 (i can launch steam but not games)

flatpak run io.missioncenter.MissionCenter

does not look like an "X11" problem?

glxinfo -B
chromium --ozone-platform=x11

also proton / steam does not work, because it is also x11 (i can launch steam but not games)

pacman -Qs lib32

Sapiens Ranae · 2025-06-08 15:15:12

Not X11 problem? I thought it was, because of Failed to open display error.

So I use firefox, but installed chromium, and it launches perfectly with/without x11 option

Yeah, but there's also that "flatpak" thing that tells you

F: Not sharing "/dev/dri" with sandbox: Path "/dev" is reserved by Flatpak

Is steam from the repos or a flatpak as well?
Does it print any errors when run from an interactive shell and failing to load some game?

Sapiens Ranae · 2025-06-08 16:09:14

Yes, steam is also from flatpak, but I managed to get it working, after FULL reinstall. It is kinda funny, because I already did that before and it did not help. But this method does not work with other applications, like mission-senter.

seth · 2025-06-08 20:40:10

this method does not work

Please don't paraphrase, https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=57855
https://archlinux.org/packages/extra/x8 … on-center/ or flatpak as well?
And what problem are you experiencing with it?
mission-center seems gtk4, there's currently https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=306078 that might be relevant

Nikolai5 · 2025-06-09 08:48:26

"The future of application distribution", I bloody hope not.

Arch build system is kind of one of the main reasons to use Arch, but that's just my opinion.

You shouldn't have to do a full reinstall to get anything working. Have you tried giving the flatpaks access to dri and x11?
https://docs.flatpak.org/en/latest/sand … sions.html

There's also a perfectly good steam in multilib/steam

Sapiens Ranae · 2025-06-11 12:14:13

Sorry for not answering, I've been busy.

"The future of application distribution", I bloody hope not.

I see. So I uninstalled steam from flatpak and installed it via pacman. Everything works as expected

mission-center seems gtk4, there's currently https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=306078 that might be relevant

I read through, and the was temporary workaround.

echo 'GSK_RENDERER=ngl' | sudo tee -a /etc/environment > /dev/null

I rebooted and it helped, but not really.
I launched literary every flatpak app, that I have.

com.protonvpn.www                io.github.Soundux                org.gnome.Calculator             org.prismlauncher.PrismLauncher                                 
dev.heppen.webapps               io.missioncenter.MissionCenter   org.libreoffice.LibreOffice      org.vinegarhq.Sober

mission center gives same error

 F: Not sharing "/dev/dri" with sandbox: Path "/dev" is reserved by Flatpak
MissionCenter::Application-Message: 14:05:08.550: Starting Mission Center v1.0.2

(missioncenter:2): Gtk-WARNING **: 14:05:08.573: Failed to open display

and also libreOffice gave an error/warning, but it launched

❯ flatpak run org.libreoffice.LibreOffice
Failed to open display

I guess I can live without mission center, but this problem could appear with other apps, and I do not want that

seth · 2025-06-11 14:29:07

The problem is flatpak and its inability to access the dri devices.
mission-center is in the repos. libreoffice is in the repos with a gazillion packages.

https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Flatpa … plications - but dev/dri is in the standard permissions, https://docs.flatpak.org/en/latest/sand … ermissions
So you'd have to start to elaborate how exactly you broke your flatpak configuration or what kind of broken flatpak you're using there… or just use the repo packages
In doubt make sure to add your user to the render group?

Also please change the subject, this is a 100% flatschpak issue and has nothing to do w/ "xwayland" whatsoever.
