I just pushed a new version of wip-gnome-upgrades, which appears to be mostly fine. (This is GNOME 3.28; I=E2=80=99m working on 3.30, which is comparatively easy but requires more fundamental packages to be changed, such as glib.) I=E2=80=99m using GNOME 3.28 right now after changing my ~/.xsession file t= o end like this: --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- export GDK_BACKEND=3Dx11 export DISPLAY=3D:0.0 gnome-session --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- (Previously it was just =E2=80=9Cgnome-session=E2=80=9D.) The default backend appears to be =E2=80=9Cwayland=E2=80=9D, but I can=E2= =80=99t seem to start the sesson when xorg-server is running. I also don=E2=80=99t understand wh= y I have to set DISPLAY; I think that this indicates that elogind doesn=E2=80= =99t consider my account to be logged in or something. I also found that adjusting the brightness triggers an authentication dialogue, asking me to input a password for gsd-backlight-helper. This looks like the same problem above. Something with elogind seat management, I guess. If you understand this better please give it a try. -- Ricardo
