I'm some what confused by the recent commit for this. gdm: on a virtual machine, prevent using X11 on sysv The file /usr/lib/udev/rules.d/61-gdm.rules disables wayland for virtual GPUs. The problem is that X11 has a permission problem on sysv with user gdm, so wayland is mandatory. Describe what to do in "configuration information". This is the same problem as for nvidia GPUs... I don't see a permission problem and I'm able to start both wayland and xorg session with gdm in qemu? The books states: "However, on sysv, a permission problem prevents running X11 for user gdm , so running on wayland is mandatory. If your system is sysv on a virtual machine or you have an NVIDIA GPU and still want to try running Wayland sessions anyway, execute the following command as the root user:" This just doesn't make sense. If running on wayland is mandatory on a sysv build why would there need to be a change to run on wayland? Tested in qemu-9.2.2. -- http://lists.linuxfromscratch.org/sympa/info/blfs-dev Unsubscribe: See the above information page
