Hello dear Maintainers.
I encountered a strange bug with the GNOME Shell.
To reproduce:
1) Set up a debian/devuan testing/sid vm with sysvinit.
2) Install gnome-core
3) Try to launch firefox(-esr) or thunderbird from a GNOME wayland session
Nothing happens. The process opens and terminates instantly. Neither KDE Plasma (wayland) exhibits this bug, nor GNOME on xorg, nor a wayfire session launched
via dbus.
Strangely firefox launches fine when MOZ_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1 is set. ktrip and kgeotag also fail to launch when forced on x11 with QT_QPA_PLATFORM=xcb.
My guess: Some weird xwayland quirk ? Xwayland is running.
Happy to provide more debugging. For now, it can be worked around by explicitly setting said env vars to force wayland
I haven't tested another init system. Sending this from my systemd machine in case you're wondering.
Regards,
Matthias Geiger
