Description Guillaume Rousse 2019-08-22 20:43:49 CEST

Any attempt to run cheese under Wayland fails:
[guillaume@netchaiev ~]$ LC_ALL=C cheese 
Gdk-Message: 20:37:52.957: Error 71 (Protocol error) dispatching to Wayland display.

A rapid search on internet show similar issues with Epiphany, dating from 2016, leading to this bug against mutter, which seems the actual faulty component:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1377287
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/issues/138

As advised in the redhat bug, exporting GDK_BACKEND=11 before running cheese is enough to fix the problem. And the problem doesn't exist under cauldron.

Cheese works fine for me in Sway (the only problem I have with Epiphany is that I can't get the sound to work).  I know that a lot of Wayland programs have problems in GNOME Wayland (mostly due to GNOME's refusal to implement the xdg_decoration protocol, but there are also various other problems) and give warnings or errors if you try to use them in GNOME, but it's odd for even GNOME programs not to work in GNOME.

Seems Mageia 7 needs an update of Mutter (and then gnome-shell + extensions) to fix this.

Comment 3 Aurelien Oudelet 2021-07-06 13:17:23 CEST

Mageia 7 is EOL since July 1st 2021.
There will not have any further bugfix for this release.

You are encouraged to upgrade to Mageia 8 as soon as possible.

@reporter, if this bug still apply with Mageia 8, please let us know it.

@packager, if you work on the Mageia 7 version of your package, please check the Mageia 8 package if issue is also present. In this case, please fix the Mageia 8 version instead.

This bug report will be closed OLD if there is no further notice within 1st September 2021.

Comment 4 Marja Van Waes 2021-09-07 14:09:33 CEST

Hi bug reporter and hi assignee and others involved,

Please reopen this bug report if it is still valid for Mageia 8 or 9(cauldron), and change "Version:" in the upper left of this report accordingly.

This report is being closed as OLD because it was filed against Mageia 7, for which  support ended on June 30th 2021.

Thanks,
Marja
