** Description changed: [ Impact ] On some systems, when you open the Firefox snap right after having logged in into an Ubuntu on Wayland session, you are met by a black window. This happens because the FF snap is run under Xwayland, and Xwayland may not be enabled early enough to handle the start of the application properly. You can easily reproduce the issue in a Wayland session: * Close Firefox * Run the command "killall Xwayland" in terminal * Open Firefox An upstream mutter change addresses this issue, and the proposed lunar change cherry picks that upstream change as a patch. [ Test Plan ] On an updated Ubuntu 23.04: * Install the mutter related binaries from lunar-proposed * Reboot and log in to an Ubuntu on Wayland session * Run the command "killall Xwayland" * Open the Firefox snap, and find that it starts normally [ Where problems could occur ] This is the upstream merge request in question: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/merge_requests/2970 The changes (except for the test related ones) are small, and specifically intended to address issues like the one reported in this bug. There are also reviews by a couple of experienced GNOME devs. So even if the proposed change is not well tested yet, it seems to me that the risk for adverse side effects is limited. + The merge request was accepted upstream and will be included in mutter + 44.2 which should be released approximately May 29. + [ Original description ] nicolas@nicolas-fixe:~$ lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu 22.04.1 LTS Release: 22.04 nicolas@nicolas-fixe:~$ apt-cache policy firefox firefox: Installé : 1:1snap1-0ubuntu2 Candidat : 1:1snap1-0ubuntu2 Table de version : *** 1:1snap1-0ubuntu2 500 500 http://fr.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu jammy/main amd64 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status When I boot Ubuntu and start Firefox, the Firefox's window is totally black.
