Description Rainer Finke 2018-08-21 21:33:19 UTC

Today I installed via the KDE flatpak testing repository Falkon (master). Falkon does start on Plasma Wayland only via XWayland. I've tested the normal Falkon package in ArchLinux on Wayland and it works great. Is Wayland support missing in the flatpak backend? Flatpak wants to offer additional security via sandboxing, but this doesn't make sense to me if then xcb is used anyway.

flatpak run org.kde.falkon --platform=wayland
Failed to create wl_display (No such file or directory)
qt.qpa.plugin: Could not load the Qt platform plugin "wayland" in "" even though it was found.

Falkon doesn't seem to have enabled "--socket=wayland" in its manifest. Can you try using "flatpak run --socket=wayland org.kde.falkon -platform wayland"?

If you can provide the information requested in comment #2, please add it.

Launched Falkon with this options - xwininfo command doesn't indicates that this is an XWayland window

Closing.

1) This is a bug in the package itself
2) We don't have a KDE flatpak platform plugin anymore
