I just installed Arch with gnome and wayland. Never used wayland before and I noticed it poses a few problems when I try to run tilda terminal.



I can run tilda using this command:



GDK_BACKEND=x11 tilda


But, I want to run tilda on autostart. I've tried to solve a couple of ways. The first thing I did was add this line at the start of the tilda.desktop:



GDK_BACKEND=x11


Then this:



env GDK_BACKEND=x11


And then this line:



env GDK_BACKEND=x11 tilda


However, none of those worked. So, i tried to make a really simple bash script calling the tilda terminal and have that run as a startup application



#!/bin/bash
GDK_BACKEND=x11 tilda


Sadly, this did not work either.



I am confident there should be a way to force tilda to autostart, I'm just not sure exactley how.

  • Do you call tilda with a key like shift+F1? Then you can call it only if your mouse cursor is above an Xwayland window, e.g. xterm or firefox. Check whether tilda is running with ps x | grep tilda.
