I'm using Ubuntu 17.10 GNOME with Wayland but inxi says: Display Server: X.Org 1.19.3 driver: N/A
I was expecting 'wayland' so i don't understand. May You help me?
Thanks

inxi does not have wayland support yet, and in fact, while you may believe you're using pure wayland, you're almost certainly using the x compatibility version, which is why you see the display server info. I actually changed the 'display server' string a while back to prepare inxi for having alternate display servers, not just Xorg, but I never got any further than that.

I would have added wayland support ages ago but the people who do the test isos for it never had support for wayland in a vm, so I didn't do it.

I still don't have anything that runs wayland, nor do I Have a single bit of data or information about how to get data from wayland, zero, zip.

Since for something as complicated as supporting a new display server, I have to have the ability to test it locally, I'm still waiting for a virtual box installable iso from anyone out there. And to make it harder, almost all the implementations of wayland I've seen so far, actually use xorg hooks, which means inxi can get most of the data in those xorg/wayland hybrid systems. In your case, for example, there's only one piece of data missing even though inxi has no actual wayland support.

The things I'm missing are:

1. commands to get information from wayland
2. samples of that information, so I know how inxi should parse it
3. tests to determine without doubt the actual server running the display
4. debugger data collectors in inxi to create that information for my use re user debugger data sets. This is critical, it's a chicken and egg thing, I can't add debugger data collectors without knowing the commands to get that data, or the things to test for, etc.
5. sufficient user sample data sets that contain this information for me to see the range of variants in user systems.

I was aware that there were finally some wayland / weston things shipping, but I have personally not seen it, nor do I have access to anything that runs it, nor would I convert any of my systems to use it, which is why I have to have vm support to add support for wayland.

Note that almost all, if not all, implementations of wayland that I'm aware of actually use the x server hooks, which is why you're seeing resolution and glx information in the first place.

I was actually waiting to see what would happen to mir before deciding what to do re support for alternate display servers, but then ubuntu was nice enough to kill off mir, which from my point of view was fantastic, since that reduced the number to 1 new display server to add support for, which I'm quite pleased about.

but I have still to this point exactly zero idea or knowledge about how to get information from wayland systems.

Every 6-12 months I've checked out the latest wayland iso, and each time it fails to install on a vm. Once I have one running in a vm, I can start testing support, and once people tell me the full suite of reporting tools, and how they are implemented, for example, am I going to have to deal with a separate syntax and toolset for the gnome and kde implementations of wayland? or is there going to be one core one? all this is unknown to me, and I have never seen anything online that actually deals with actual technical questions like this.

I have an Ubuntu 17.10 Gnome with a wayland session. I use 'echo $XDG_SESSION_TYPE' to check if i'm using it.
let me know if I can give you more info.
thanks

Well, this is a good start, I didn't even realize that:

:: Code ::
echo $XDG_SESSION_TYPE
x11


exists, so that's a great beginning, for sure.

Now I need to see what queries I can do to a wayland implementation re what data it can give me, x has tons of tools, most of which run with the wayland/xorg mix most wayland systems currently run, but the question is, what does wayland itself give, is the gnome version different from the kde or whatever else comes down the way versions, re commands to get data? and data structure, and so on.

2.3.12 has basic attempt at wayland support.

There's also a new option, -xx, which is experimental effort to have compositor support.

this is very unlikely to actually work as expected, or right, but it's a starting place, which is why I made it an -xx option.

the output has changed slightly: Display Server x11 (X.Org 1.19.0) driver nvidia

Note that there is no way I know of to detect out of the desktop, in console, wayland, so that remains, it will just look for xorg, and print the version information it finds there.

Also, there is no support for pure wayland features, since as far as I know, none exist.

Further, because the incredible mess that all the different compositors out there will create, for absolute certain, the odds are very low that a pure wayland system will ever return meaningful data that inxi uses, like screen resolution, the xprop stuff which is used to get desktop type, and in some systems, all the stuff that depends on the XDG_ environmental variables will also fail.

But I had to start wayland support somewhere, and hopefully buggy inxi output will motivate bug reporters to find ways to detect the information.

Also added to inxi was beginning wayland data grabbers, very raw and basic.

How about inxi -Gxx

the -xx option is an early attempt to show the compositor, but that's going to need a lot of work before it actually works right, I thought I'd start it and then update it once I get more user data.

All wayland data sets I can get ( inxi -xx@14 ) will help me find methods that will work to identify the following items:

1. if a compositor is running (that's tricky)
2. which compostor is running if one is
3. the version of the compositor

Also, with -xx, you'd see the legacy compatibility glx version as well, now inxi shows the real core profile glx version, not the legacy version, which was another issue someone else just posted on.
