Hi Michel, Oh wow yes can confirm: /usr/bin/gnome-calculator works thank you! Indeed it displays calculator on my Windows 10 (Version 22H2 build 19045.4046) PC with Ubuntu-22.04 WSL2:
PS C:\WINDOWS\system32> wsl -l -v NAME STATE VERSION * Ubuntu-22.04 Running 2 Ubuntu-20.04 Stopped 2 PS C:\WINDOWS\system32> wsl -d Ubuntu-22.04 owner@Colin-PC:/mnt/c/WINDOWS/system32$ waypipe -c lz4=9 ssh owner@172.28.0.179 /usr/bin/gnome-calculator Wayland in new to me and am a bit confused by it, can I ask some stupid questions please: 1. My remote Centos 9 host, centos92 (172.28.0.179), is using Wayland (XDG_SESSION_TYPE=wayland) using a direct console connection it is possible to run a non wayland glxgears (x11/GL) application from gnome-terminal, confused why this is not proxied using waypipe ssh owner@172.28.0.179 glxgears, is it because when ssh -X is omitted, DISPLAY is not automatically set i.e. Xforwarding has not been requested? 2. This works: waypipe ssh -X owner@172.28.0.179 glxgears, is X11 is being proxied via waypipe? Can you advise please, is there an advantage/performance benefit to running older X11/GL applications this way compared to simply running: ssh -X owner@172.28.0.179?

This is likely because the gnome-terminal executable itself doesn't create the terminal window, the gnome-terminal-server.service systemd user service does, which uses the local Wayland display. Try another Wayland terminal. > 2. From centos91 running: waypipe ssh owner@centos92 glxgears, get error: > Error: couldn’t open display (null). Watching both see the following process > get created: glxgears doesn't have anything to do with Waypipe. This is probably just missing the ssh -Y/-X option to enable SSH X forwarding. -- Earthling Michel Dänzer | https://redhat.com Libre software enthusiast | Mesa and Xwayland developer
