Is it possible to run Conty as x11 in wayland?

bluee111 opened this issue · comments

Hello, sorry for the question, as Wayland is getting better and better. Will it be possible to run Conty like X11 while my host is on Wayland? I would like to continue running some programs that only work correctly in an X11 environment like PCSX2, Plank, and some other programs. Will it be possible?

On Wayland Conty can run applications that support only X11 through XWayland, and it's possible to force applications to run through XWayland even if they support Wayland natively (for example, if their Wayland support is not good).

If you mean can Conty run as a full X11 environment with its window manager and such, it should be possible to do this on a different TTY, but in this case it will be a different graphical session, not integrated within your main graphical session.

plank in wayland has no support at all. When running from a session in wayland I get the following

Welcome to Conty
Enter any commands you want to execute
[slui@steamdeck-befilledbyoem conty]$ plank
[CRITICAL 11:35:07.512102] [AbstractMain:255] Only X11 environments are supported.

Try to run it this way:

$ XDG_SESSION_TYPE=x11 WAYLAND_DISPLAY= plank

Thank you very much, it worked perfectly, your project is wonderful. greetings
XDG_SESSION_TYPE=x11 WAYLAND_DISPLAY= plank ./conty_lite.sh
