this was hidden behind the ncurses window. # mcc Too late to run INIT block at /usr/lib64/perl5/vendor_perl/Glib/Object/Introspection.pm line 257. Invalid MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 key Thank you for the report. Cinnamon with Wayland... Please cite any other applications that you find that behave the same way (you did for one): is this just an MCC issue, for example? And try them on different desktops: is this just for Cinnamon/Wayland? TIA CC:

lewyssmith ok, some more investigation. these 2 examples reliably demonstrate the issue for my hardware. 1/ invoke "console" (kgx) via application menu. change user "console" to a root "console" instance. (Mixed DE install) close the root "console" instance, do not exit to "user" first. 2/ invoke any V.Terminal. invoke $ evince-previewer nnnnn.txt (eg $ evince-previewer guiApps.txt) close the error message. no other applications appear affected. (In reply to Lewis Smith from comment #2) > And try them on different desktops: is this just for Cinnamon/Wayland? just for Cinn/Wayland. Because I noted it first when closing mcc, I erroneously blamed MCC. Summary:

PostScript (PS), Portable Document Format (PDF), DjVu and DVI files.
Its man page says: "This program is not meant to be called by end-users" !
How did you see the problem: via Evince? Your 'steps to reproduce' are devious.
Trying it on M9, it refuses tidily .txt & .odt files, displays OK .pdf.
(In reply to Lewis Smith from comment #5) > > Trying it on M9, it refuses tidily .txt & .odt files, displays OK .pdf. yes onwards.... 2 more offenders: dconf-editor when called from either CLI or menu launcher. clicking the "I'll be careful" button closes dconf-editor, wallpaper and desktop icons. gnome-disk-image-mounter when called from CLI displays the issue when closed. Maybe the title to this report should be changed, as it is likely an issue with cinnamon-on-wayland (experimental) rather than the applications themselves. they behave themselves in standard Cinnamon and other DEs. Obviously a problem with automated testing - buttons don't get pressed!. also to add: $ totem invoking from cli gives an error message - file cannot be played. pressing the "ok" closes totem and the desktop. seems like the commonality is the error message. Thanks for the extra info. It certainly looks like a Cinnalon/Wayl Summary:

(none) (In reply to Lewis Smith from comment #9) > ...Wayland problem. Is it worth an upstream Bug? > > Assigning to joseph for Cinnamon. Re-assign if you wish. none of the applications are native to the desktop ( maybe dconf-editor is) so maybe upstream will not be interested. From https://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?t=411761: "Experimental support for Cinnamon running in Wayland was introduced in Cinnamon 6.0. It is in alpha stage. That means you should expect lots of parts to not work." Follow the link for more details, but the TL;DR summary is that it is not ready for general use. CC:
