Does Kazam support Wayland?

Wayland doesn't support Nvidia GPUs well, leading to performance and stability issues. As a result, Kazam doesn't support Wayland at this time. Please switch back to X11 to use Kazam following the guidelines below.

How to switch back from Wayland to X11?

Fedora

To switch back from Wayland to X11 in Fedora, you can follow these steps:

  1. Log Out of Your Current Session:

    • Click on the top-right corner of your screen to open the system menu.
    • Select "Log Out."

  2. Select X11 Session:

    • At the login screen (GDM), click on your username.
    • Before entering your password, look for a gear icon (⚙️) or a settings button at the bottom-right corner of the login screen.
    • Click on the gear icon, and you will see session options like "GNOME" (for Wayland) and "GNOME on Xorg" (for X11).
    • Select "GNOME on Xorg."

  3. Log In:

    • Enter your password and log in. This will start a session using X11 instead of Wayland.

If you want to make X11 the default for future logins:

  1. Edit GDM Configuration (Optional):

    • Open a terminal and edit the GDM configuration file:

      sudo nano /etc/gdm/custom.conf

    • Uncomment or add the following line in the [daemon] section:

      WaylandEnable=false

    • Save the file and exit the text editor.

  2. Restart GDM:

    • To apply the changes, restart the GDM service with:

      sudo systemctl restart gdm

This will make X11 the default display server on your system, even if you log out and log back in.

Ubuntu

To switch back from Wayland to X11 in Ubuntu, follow these steps:

  1. Log Out of Your Current Session:

    • Click on the system menu in the top-right corner of your screen.
    • Select "Log Out" to log out of your current session.

  2. Select X11 Session:

    • At the login screen (GDM), click on your username.
    • Before entering your password, look for a gear icon (⚙️) or settings button at the bottom-right corner of the login screen.
    • Click on the gear icon, and you'll see session options like "Ubuntu" (for Wayland) and "Ubuntu on Xorg" (for X11).
    • Select "Ubuntu on Xorg."

  3. Log In:

    • Enter your password and log in. This will start a session using X11 instead of Wayland.

If you want to make X11 the default for future logins:

  1. Edit GDM Configuration (Optional):

    • Open a terminal and edit the GDM configuration file:

      sudo nano /etc/gdm3/custom.conf

    • Uncomment or add the following line in the [daemon] section:

      WaylandEnable=false

    • Save the file and exit the text editor.

  2. Restart GDM:

    • To apply the changes, restart the GDM service with:

      sudo systemctl restart gdm3

After this, X11 will be the default display server on your system, even after a reboot or log out.
