Created attachment 1151907 [details] hawaii-cannot-start-x11-programs.png I am using Fedora-Workstation-netinst-x86_64-24_Alpha-1.7.iso with all updates installed. When trying to start an X11 program like xterm on the Hawaii desktop, it fails with xterm: Xt error: Can’t open display: xterm: DISPLAY is not set lxterm cannot be started either. firefox shows an icon at the bottom of the desktop for a short moment, then crashes.
XWayland support is currently not build, the code needs to be updated to the new QtWaylandCompositor API that changes a lot. Therefore I do not expect X11-only programs such as xterm to work, as for Firefox my guess is that it must have partial Wayland support otherwise you wouldn't see the icon. I'm not sure what the status of Wayland support for Firefox is. It would be awesome to see what WAYLAND_DEBUG=1 firefox shows on a terminal. If the crash is caused by the Hawaii compositor I'll be glad to fix it in this cycle. XWayland support will be moved to the task list for the next Hawaii version, I think it's too late in this cycle. Also, moving the report to the greenisland component since XWayland support is provided by the compositor rather than the workspace. Though I'm not sure whether it should be closed or not, it's more a missing feature than a bug.

I wouild like to do that, but in Fedora-Workstation-netinst-x86_64-24_Beta-1.4.iso (with all currently available updates installed), the Hawaii desktop is not usable at all anymore, I cannot even start a terminal to get the output requested above. The attached screenshot shows how the Hawaii desktop looks like when I start it (language is Japanese). Some sort of calendar and a clock are shown but very badly rendered, the glyphs overlap. And there are no buttons visible at the bottom of the desktop, there used to be a button to start a terminal, but is gone. Alt+F2 does nothing.

Thanks, that was caused by a package that I didn't update at the time. Meanwhile I managed to test Firefox myself on weston and I can confirm that Firefox on Fedora 24 requires X11 thus it won't work with Hawaii 0.7 - whose Fedora packages are btw in the process of being updated. I'm closing the issue as it appears to be a missing feature of the current upstream code rather than a bug.
