Seeing as the issue was solved for two other people, I had another go - this time explicitly installing all mutter-related packages from -proposed (and not just 'mutter'):
$ aptitude upgrade libmutter-7-0 mutter mutter-common Lo and behold, the socket showed up: $ sudo ss -xlp | grep Xwayland u_str LISTEN 0 1 @/tmp/.X11-unix/X0 60747 * 0 users:(("Xwayland",pid=2371,fd=4)) u_str LISTEN 0 1 @/tmp/.X11-unix/X1 60749 * 0 users:(("Xwayland",pid=2371,fd=7)) u_str LISTEN 0 1 /tmp/.X11-unix/X0 60748 * 0 users:(("Xwayland",pid=2371,fd=5)) and I can confirm that my graphical snaps all work again. I suspect that in my first try, not all packages were upgraded. I'm not sure, but perhaps that points at a dependency issue with the packages in -proposed. ** Tags removed: verification-needed verification-needed-groovy ** Tags added: verification-done-groovy -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to mutter in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1897224 Title: Graphical snaps can't run in Gnome 3.38 Wayland sessions (can't open X display) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/mutter/+bug/1897224/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
