Description Marian Kechlibar 2021-06-04 13:33:31 UTC

Hello, so this is an exact recurrence of a previously solved and closed bug:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1895018

that is not in my power to reopen. Only now it involves Fedora 34 instead of Fedora 33.

I tried to downgrade glfw from 3.3.4 to 3.3.2-8, but it did not help the situation.

Comment 1 Matyáš Pokorný 2021-06-29 17:04:36 UTC

Hello, I'm bumping into this issue as well. 

It looks like the glfw package is built with -DGLFW_USE_WAYLAND=ON. So if I am a Fedora user under X11 (because NVidia or something) the package cannot be used. That's because calling glfwInit will attempt to connect to a Wayland display server, yet the environment is under X11 so the connection will not be made and an error message "Wayland: Failed to connect to display" will be emitted.
