I think it's gonna be a lot more useful for developers if you send debug info

Or if he's running wayland maybe he should install
xorg-xwayland package
Without it I got the same errorratty-blushOP•2y ago
echo $DISPLAY gives me ':0'
I am running Fedora 39. The addon works when I log in on xorg instead of wayland.
conscious-sapphire•2y ago
Thanks for the input. I'm a Linux noob 🙂
Okay, good to know. We can't really do anything here however, because the issue is upstream in our dependencies
eastern-cyan•2y ago
Do you have xorg-xwayland?
https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/xorg-x11-server-Xwayland
ratty-blushOP•2y ago
Yes, this package is installed.

Does anki use it?

Ask Ubuntu
How can I tell if an application is using XWayland?
I'm troubleshooting some issues to do with multiple monitors and HiDPI on Wayland. I've learnt from online resources that applications on XWayland may not handle this use-case as expected. So now I...

Deleted xwayland > restarted my wm > got an error in anki > installed xwayland> restarted wm > anki works

I checked with xlsclients and Anki does not use xorg-wayland. Removing wayland display variable with env -u works.
eastern-cyan•2y ago
So edit .desktop file then and it should work
ratty-blushOP•2y ago
Thanks for your help. So the solution is to force Anki to use xorg if it does not do it automatically.
eastern-cyan•17mo ago
Yep, that's why we should have xwayland in a first place
Shouldn't it be marked as solved..?
