Thanks

Tried both wayland and x with the expected results. Wayland not working but showing a message, x working fine.

Thanks for your feedback.

Can you please run longinctl on the server side and paste the output here?

From what I can tell seems like the error is from this function:

rustdesk/libs/hbb_common/src/platform/linux.rs

Line 145 in 676ee99

fn _get_values_of_seat0(indices: &[usize], ignore_gdm_wayland: bool) -> Vec<String> {

Thanks for your feedback.

Can you please run longinctl on the server side and paste the output here? Please hide private info.

SESSION  UID USER SEAT  TTY   STATE  IDLE SINCE    
      2  120 gdm  seat0 tty1  active yes  13min ago
      4 1000 nic  -     pts/0 active no   -        
      5 1000 nic  -     pts/1 active no   -       

3 sessions listed.

In this output I think there is the "listed." word that the function is parsing.

Is it currently wayland or x11? It is expected if it is wayland. Login Screen is not supported yet for wayland.

[NicKoehler]

Same issue with both, the server doesn't show up as online too.

[rustdesk]

Both for x11 and wayland?

[NicKoehler]

Yes, both X11 and Wayland

[rustdesk]

Could confirm with below command?

loginctl show-session -p Type <session-id>

Login screen session type can only be modified via /etc/gdm/custom.conf.

[NicKoehler]

I have

loginctl show-session -p Type 2
Type=wayland

But my /etc/gdm/custom.conf is like this:

t# GDM configuration storage

[daemon]
# Uncomment the line below to force the login screen to use Xorg
WaylandEnable=false

[security]

[xdmcp]

[chooser]

[debug]
# Uncomment the line below to turn on debugging
#Enable=true

[rustdesk]

So it is still Wayland.

[NicKoehler]

I see, but previously the server would still appear online, and if I tried to connect, it would say that Wayland is not supported. Now it just appears completely off.

[rustdesk]

Is this important for you? both not usable. And previously is it gnome 46?

[NicKoehler]

No, I just reported it because I was using X11 all the time and suddenly it stopped working. Now I see that the problem is my session still being Wayland and ignoring my custom.conf.

[NicKoehler]

Is this important for you? both not usable. And previously is it gnome 46?

No after I updated my nighly after a long time of no updates.

[rustdesk]

Nevertheless, you are right, it should show Login screen using Wayland is not supported.
@fufesou follow it up.

[NicKoehler]

I wouldn't have opened this issue if I had seen the Wayland message. I would have fixed my session, sorry for the misunderstanding.

[rustdesk]

This is a good report. Thanks.

[NicKoehler]

I fixed my gdm session now is properly using X and is working fine, so I confirm is only a wayland issue.

[rustdesk]

Thanks for your confirmation. How did you fix it to use X?

[NicKoehler]

My custom.conf was not working, for some reason. I fixed it by changing my /usr/share/gdm/gdm.schemas:

<schema>
    <key>daemon/WaylandEnable</key>
    <signature>b</signature>
    <default>false</default>  # <- changed this from true to false and restarted my gdm session.
</schema>

Probably not a proper fix, but it worked.

@NicKoehler could you help test the latest nightly?
