I just installed Arch with gnome and wayland. Never used wayland before and I noticed it poses a few problems when I try to run tilda terminal.

I can run tilda using this command:

GDK_BACKEND=x11 tilda

But, I want to run tilda on autostart. I've tried to solve a couple of ways. The first thing I did was add this line at the start of the tilda.desktop:

GDK_BACKEND=x11

Then this:

env GDK_BACKEND=x11

And then this line:

env GDK_BACKEND=x11 tilda

However, none of those worked. So, i tried to make a really simple bash script calling the tilda terminal and have that run as a startup application

#!/bin/bash
GDK_BACKEND=x11 tilda

Sadly, this did not work either.

I am confident there should be a way to force tilda to autostart, I'm just not sure exactley how.

  • Do you call tilda with a key like shift+F1? Then you can call it only if your mouse cursor is above an Xwayland window, e.g. xterm or firefox. Check whether tilda is running with `ps x | grep tilda`. – mviereck Mar 25 '18 at 18:04
