Description leigh scott 2026-05-24 23:37:09 UTC
I tried to install the latest F45 cinnamon spin

https://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org//packages/Fedora-Cinnamon-Live/Rawhide/20260524.n.0/images/Fedora-Cinnamon-Live-Rawhide-20260524.n.0.x86_64.iso

slitherer prevents liveinst from starting because it expects wayland, cinnamon is X11.


Reproducible: Always

I tried switch to firefox, it's the same


$ liveinst 
localuser:root being added to access control list

Home directory /home/liveuser already exists.
Starting installer, one moment...
anaconda 45.4-1.fc45 for Fedora 45 (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
Default browser set in anaconda.conf:  firefox
Using default browser: firefox
Using Firefox browser command: /usr/bin/env MOZ_APP_TITLE= MOZ_APP_REMOTINGNAME=liveinst MOZ_GTK_TITLEBAR_DECORATION=client /usr/bin/firefox --new-instance --profile /run/user/1000/anaconda/firefox-profile
Error: root Wayland socket not found under /run/user/0

It appears it's anaconda forcing wayland
