I'm on Fedora 27, gnome-session-3.26.1-1.fc27.x86_64.



The directory ~/.local/share/xorg/ is empty. I've tried the journal:



# journalctl -b /usr/bin/Xwayland
-- Logs begin at Fri 2017-04-21 15:22:01 BST, end at Fri 2018-03-23 23:45:13 GMT. --
-- No entries --
# journalctl -b | grep -i 'wayland.*]: '
#


It doesn't show anything, even though the second approach works fine to search for "gnome-session". And it looks like Xwayland is connected to the journal, via the same sockets as gnome-shell:

  • @don_crissti I found that mess, but it doesn't seem to contain an answer, and I'm pretty sure my full question is specific enough to be answerable.

  • Well, your answer here is pretty much what Daniel Stone answered over there though yours is a bit more detailed.

  • @don_crissti sorry, I don't get it. I can't find anything in what Daniel Stone says there about where the logs from Xwayland go. I don't expect that Xwayland logs are going to tell me everything about wayland as a whole - if that's not clear you may consider it a defect in my question - feedback appreciated as always. But I don't think my answer helps there, so I still don't get what you're saying.

  • Xwayland is not a Wayland server. It is a helper to run X11 clients inside a Wayland session...The Wayland server you are running on the GNOME Wayland session, is the GNOME Shell. GNOME Shell internally uses a library called Mutter, also developed by GNOME. You do not need to search for 'what your Wayland server is', because the answer is that it is GNOME Shell. The binary is called 'gnome-shell'.. The logical conclusion is that any information related to XWayland is to be found in gnome-shell logs.

  • @don_crissti sorry, I don't get it. I can't find anything in what Daniel Stone says there about where the logs from Xwayland go. I don't expect that Xwayland logs are going to tell me everything about wayland as a whole - if that's not clear you may consider it a defect in my question - feedback appreciated as always. But I don't think my answer helps there, so I still don't get what you're saying.

  • Xwayland is not a Wayland server. It is a helper to run X11 clients inside a Wayland session...The Wayland server you are running on the GNOME Wayland session, is the GNOME Shell. GNOME Shell internally uses a library called Mutter, also developed by GNOME. You do not need to search for 'what your Wayland server is', because the answer is that it is GNOME Shell. The binary is called 'gnome-shell'.. The logical conclusion is that any information related to XWayland is to be found in gnome-shell logs.

gnome-shell does indeed start Xwayland with a journal connection. The messages are showing in the journal with a prefix like org.gnome.Shell.desktop[3494]:, where 3494 is the PID of the gnome-shell process.



See 'What does "org.gnome.Shell.desktop[1711]: " mean in the systemd journal?'.



This can be confusing because gnome-shell logs the same way and it can be very noisy; whereas Xwayland can be very quiet. I see that Xwayland does not log any startup messages. I only see messages logging about errors.



You can try to look for Xwayland messages with a trick along the lines



$ journalctl --since=-1month | grep ': [(]..[)] ' | grep -v gdm-x-session


or



$ journalctl --since=-1month 
 | grep -E '[(]([^0-9^a-z])2[)]' 
 | grep -v gdm-x-session
