[Solved] Code (electron) issue on Wayland.

Hello i have an issue running code natively on Wayland.

If i add this file https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Waylan … ation_file code starts as an Xwayland app. If i start it from the command line with  code --ozone-platform=wayland --enable-features=WaylandWindowDecorations it starts fine(ish). i use electron 25.

If i add the arguments i use on the command line on the conf file it again starts as an Xwayland app.

Is the wiki wrong or i am doing something wrong. And how can i get it to start as a Wayland app from the app menu.

Thanks in advance.

Edit:
Solved it. The electron version is 27 and not 25. So you rename the file as electron27-flags.conf and if you use --ozeone-platform=wayland --enable-features=WaylandWIndowsDecorations it will work. The --ozone-platform-hint=auto argument mentioned in the wiki doesn't work.

Apologies.

Re: [Solved] Code (electron) issue on Wayland.

I am using it like this and it works for me:

code-flags.conf in the .config folder.

Inside the code-flags.conf is this:

--enable-features=UseOzonePlatform
--ozone-platform=wayland

But I am also using:

"editor.smoothScrolling": true,
"window.titleBarStyle": "custom"

That's it.

Hi, now it seems using

--ozone-platform=wayland

will result in (in my case) Slack opening as a blank, fully transparent, yet interactable window. No combination, inclusion or exclusion changes the behaviour unless I remove that one flag that makes it actually run under pure Wayland (I'm using Sway on Vulkan backend).

You're necro-ing a 1.5yr old SOLVED thread.

Perhaps consider opening a new topic.
