Xorg Gnome sessions launched with Cosmic-Greeter do not function correctly.

Open XV-02 opened this issue 1 year ago • 3 comments

When launching a Pop!_OS 22.04 xorg Gnome session with Cosmic-Greeter, functionalities of the Cosmic extentions for Gnome do not work.

This includes:

  • shortcuts such as super + q to quit applications and super + f to launch the file manager;
  • Tiling does not work smoothly (hard to describe, but it is noticeably less fluid);
  • The DING extension seems to have been effected, with icons present on the desktop that are both A) Not using the standard Pop!_OS icon set (looks to be the default Ubuntu icons, but I'm not certain) and B) launching a "find files on desktop" prompt with super + f when the desktop was the last item focused;
  • and finally, the Pop-launcher does not return the correct results for certain searches, such as having no Nautilus/Files result when searching for either "Nautilus" or "Files".

These were just immediate issues. I'm truncating journal logs to drop in a subsequent comment (because no one needs 13000 lines when most of them aren't germane.)

I shaved a bit over 10000 lines which didn't seem relevant from the first of these. The second of these is the full log

Hello, I would add, lockscreen doesn't work on Cosmic-Greeter with X11. but that is a minor touch.

Thanks, loving every update of cosmic keep it up!

With COSMIC being Wayland only and arriving at a time when Wayland is default on many distros, we can de-prioritize X11 support and determine its importance as we get work through alpha and beta releases.
