cosmic-silverblue: GNOME Wayland not launching

[boredsquirrel]

from cosmic greeter I can not launch GNOME on Wayland. Last time I checked only GNOME on Xorg worked.

I will try from tty with gnome-session --session gnome-wayland

Are these images intended to have more than one desktop environment? I think we would only have Cosmic in the final version.

I agree. The upstream project is Fedora Cosmic Atomic so this one should be Ublue Cosmic.

I am not sure I fully understand the comments.

In my understanding, users could rebase to cosmic-silverblue or cosmic-kinoite respectively (from their current silverblue or kinoite), having 2 benefits:

1. they can keep using their current desktop as a fallback
2. the needed apps, that are simply more feature complete, are available as a fallback

I dont think it is intended behavior of cosmic-greeter, that (at least GNOME which I tested) other desktops dont start.

From what I understand, those desktops are temporary and will go away from these images, long-term

This would be the only ublue image featuring 2 desktops. I suppose the drop will be when COSMIC is stable, not alpha and not beta anymore.
