Description Ian Dogulas Scott 2016-04-24 20:22:39 UTC 
Trying to run kdenlive on wayland. The exact behavior seems to vary depending on the compositor (and potentially other aspects), but in any case it is not useable.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start a wayland compositor (I tried both sway and weston)
2. export QT_QPA_PLATFORM=wayland-egl
3. Start kdenlive

I would be interested to know if other KDE Applications work ?  I am not sure this is a Kdenlive specific issue... 
I don't have a working wayland setup to test, so any info is welcome.
Comment 2 Ian Dogulas Scott 2016-04-25 23:26:13 UTC 
I don't use much KDE software, but kate and konsole seem to work fine under wayland. As far as I am aware, most KDE software (including kwin, though I think the wayland port is experimental) does.

I think it would be possible to make kdenlive force the xorg backend, as it seems to work fine under xwayland. This would obviously not be a long term solution, however.
Comment 3 Wegwerf 2016-08-12 15:58:09 UTC 
Ian, can you please retest with current stable Kdenlive 16.04.2? If not, can you please supply more details about what isn't working, crash logs, et cetera?

This is what Kdenlive looks like for me under Wayland. Obviously it is not rendering properly. This is with the latest version of Kdenlive on an up-to-date Arch Linux system.

If it is relevant, my system has Intel integrated graphics (specifically an Ivy Bridge).
Comment 5 Wegwerf 2016-10-08 15:57:58 UTC 
Does OpenGL work correctly on Wayland? Also, do other Qt applications work correctly on Wayland?
Comment 6 Ian Dogulas Scott 2016-10-13 03:31:30 UTC 
Yes, most QT software works on Wayland, and OpenGL software generally works as well.
Comment 7 dino 2016-10-20 12:05:18 UTC 
Here for me it works:
ChakraOS testing repos
kdenlive 16.08.02
KDE frameworks 5.27
plasma 5.8.2
intel video driver 2.99.917

I am running Kdenlive or Archlinux with Gnome 3.22 under Wayland and it works.
Comment 9 Wegwerf 2016-10-21 16:49:37 UTC 
So, can we close and retire this report?
Comment 10 farid 2016-10-22 12:46:55 UTC 
I think this is an issue with OP's system rather than Kdenlive...
Comment 11 Tony 2016-10-23 08:08:32 UTC 
I bet you a beer that you use nvidia card + nouveau....
Comment 12 Wegwerf 2016-10-27 20:17:31 UTC 
Closing, as there is no feedback from original reporter, and others have reported success.
