Display Scenarios

Test Description Simulates
x11 Real X11 via Xvfb Normal X11 desktop user
wayland Real Wayland via Weston Fedora/Ubuntu Wayland user
wayland-fake WAYLAND_DISPLAY set, no socket THE BUG - compositor crashed
wayland-x11-fallback Wayland vars + X11 available Should fallback to X11
no-display No display server Headless/server environment

GPU Configurations

Config Description
With GPU NVIDIA RTX 3060 via VFIO passthrough
Without GPU Software rendering (Xvfb/Weston headless)

GPU Passthrough Test Results

Real GPU passthrough testing with NVIDIA RTX 3060 attached to VMs:

OS Session Type gpu-wayland-real gpu-wayland-fake gpu-x11 gpu-wayland-nodisp
Fedora 42 Wayland (GNOME) ✅ PASS ✅ PASS ✅ PASS ✅ PASS
Ubuntu 22.04 X11 (GNOME) ⏭️ SKIP ✅ PASS ✅ PASS ✅ PASS
Ubuntu 24.04 Wayland (GNOME) ✅ PASS ✅ PASS ✅ PASS ✅ PASS
openSUSE Leap X11 (KDE Plasma) ⏭️ SKIP ✅ PASS ✅ PASS N/A
Manjaro Linux 26.0.1 Wayland (KDE) ✅ PASS ✅ PASS ✅ PASS N/A

Notes:

  • Ubuntu 22.04 uses X11 by default, so gpu-wayland-real was skipped
  • openSUSE Leap uses X11 (KDE Plasma with nouveau driver), gpu-wayland-real skipped
  • Manjaro uses KDE Plasma on Wayland - all tests passed
  • All tested VMs show GPU visible via lspci | grep nvidia

The Bug (GitHub #3154)

Problem: When WAYLAND_DISPLAY environment variable is set but the Wayland socket doesn't exist, Electron tries to connect and crashes with SEGFAULT (exit code 139).

Real scenarios where this happens:

  1. User logged into X11 but env vars leaked from previous Wayland session
  2. GNOME Shell/compositor crashed, socket removed, env vars remain
  3. App started from terminal in different session context
  4. Misconfigured system with partial Wayland setup

The Fix (PR #3171): Wrapper script that checks if Wayland socket is actually usable before letting Electron attempt connection. Falls back to X11 if Wayland is broken.
