From 1b0e4c7e6e0bf02b3c41962b669c00280ecc7712 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Tudor Brindus Date: Sat, 3 Oct 2020 14:16:54 -0400 Subject: xwayland: introduce WLR_XWAYLAND for specifying which Xwayland to use When debugging Xwayland-related issues, a common first step in debugging has been to ask the reporter to move their real Xwayland to /usr/bin/Xwayland.bin, and create a shell script starting Xwayland with extra arguments under the original /usr/bin/Xwayland location. Introducing a `WLR_XWAYLAND` environment variable makes this less invasive, by allowing the user to swap out Xwayland without resorting to global system changes (or source patches). --- docs/env_vars.md | 2 ++ 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+) (limited to 'docs') diff --git a/docs/env_vars.md b/docs/env_vars.md index 48f96f7f..9fca8165 100644 --- a/docs/env_vars.md +++ b/docs/env_vars.md @@ -9,6 +9,8 @@ wlroots reads these environment variables * *WLR_SESSION*: specifies the wlr\_session to be used (available sessions: logind/systemd, direct) * *WLR_DIRECT_TTY*: specifies the tty to be used (instead of using /dev/tty) +* *WLR_XWAYLAND*: specifies the path to an Xwayland binary to be used (instead + of following shell search semantics for "Xwayland") ## DRM backend -- cgit v1.2.3
