Description of problem: I tried running sudo anaconda in konsole in Plasma on Wayland. Errors indicating that the display server didn't start and gtk couldn't be initialized were shown. anaconda 30.25.6-4.fc30 for anaconda bluesky (pre-release) started. * installation log files are stored in /tmp during the installation * shell is available on TTY2 and in second TMUX pane (ctrl+b, then press 2) * when reporting a bug add logs from /tmp as separate text/plain attachments No protocol specified Unable to init server: Could not connect: Connection refused No protocol specified Unable to init server: Could not connect: Connection refused Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/sbin/anaconda", line 612, in <module> display.setup_display(anaconda, opts) File "/usr/lib64/python3.7/site-packages/pyanaconda/display.py", line 346, in setup_display anaconda.initInterface() File "/usr/lib64/python3.7/site-packages/pyanaconda/anaconda.py", line 284, in initInterface fullscreen=False, decorated=self.decorated) File "/usr/lib64/python3.7/site-packages/pyanaconda/ui/gui/__init__.py", line 659, in __init__ self.mainWindow = MainWindow(fullscreen=fullscreen, decorated=decorated) File "/usr/lib64/python3.7/site-packages/pyanaconda/ui/gui/__init__.py", line 346, in __init__ super().__init__() File "/usr/lib64/python3.7/site-packages/gi/overrides/Gtk.py", line 519, in __init__ "Gtk couldn't be initialized.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): anaconda-0:30.25.6-4.fc30.x86_64 kf5-kwayland-0:5.59.0-2.fc30.x86_64 konsole5-0:19.04.2-1.fc30.x86_64 libwayland-client-0:1.17.0-1.fc30.x86_64 plasma-desktop-0:5.15.5-1.fc30.x86_64 python3-0:3.7.4-1.fc30.x86_64 qt5-qtwayland-0:5.12.4-3.fc30.x86_64 sddm-0:0.18.1-2.fc30.x86_64 xorg-x11-server-Xwayland-0:1.20.5-4.fc30.x86_64 How reproducible: The anaconda startup errors happened each of a few times I tried in Plasma on Wayland. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Boot F30 KDE Plasma spin installation fully updated with updates-testing enabled 2. Log in to Plasma on Wayland from sddm 3. sudo anaconda (in konsole) Actual results: Anaconda didn't start and showed errors connecting to the display server in Plasma on Wayland. Expected results: anaconda would start normally. Additional info: anaconda started correctly when I used Plasma on X. This issue is likely related to the use of Wayland. anaconda might not have been able to start or connect to XWayland. I'll attach /tmp/anaconda.log
Created attachment 1590516 [details] /tmp/anaconda.log from running sudo anaconda in Plasma on Wayland
