GNOME return to X11 from Wayland

Welcome to the forum! :vulcan_salute:

Well, GNOME 49 has completely dropped support for X11 and is now Wayland-only. This is also the reason why xkill doesn’t work anymore, because xkill is specific to X11.


Tip:

As a new member, you may want to subscribe to notifications for the Announcements > Stable Updates category. Every bundled update, whether it’s for Manjaro Testing or Manjaro Stable, always comes accompanied by a dedicated announcement thread.

  • The first post of the thread contains the changes with regard to the previous bundled update.

  • The second post of the thread details the potential problems, and how to deal with them.

  • The announcement thread also always contains a poll (in the first post), and a summary of past issues (in the second post), for those who’ve skipped an update — which is not advised with a rolling-release distribution, but it does happen. :wink:


Well, I’m no expert on GNOME — I myself am a dedicated Plasma user — but in order for people to be able to help you, you should provide us with enough information about your system.

The links below are a preformatted message that I regularly post to new members, but they include some very useful information to help you help us at solving your problems. :wink:
