But seriously what do you mean by "run one user with Wayland?". The user will run a wayland compositor: Wayland is not running the user. Quote:

a Li-ion battery fire could possibly kill someone. smoke might be an issue in some parts. and the fire alarms hurt my ears. Quote:
i've done this kind of thing before without LightDM. i just switched VT. i had 63 VTs. VTs 10, 11, and 12 ran X. suppose in this case (no LightDM) i try to run Wayland on VTs 7, 8, and 9. everything else runs text mode in this case. Quote:

so my thinking about a plan is this: 1. set up a non-LightDM system somewhere, such as my emergency system i can boot /dev/sdb up to. and install and try it. package name suggestions may be helpful? "weston"? 2. if #1 works, boot up my backup system from /dev/sdc (which does run LightDM) and switch to a text VT that, hopefully, LightDM will ignore, such as tty4. then run (something) and see if it can run beside LightDM. 3. try running 4 or 5 instances of Wayland. see what i can rig up to switch around with. edit #1: it would probably be helpful to find out if i can set up some kind of keyboard shortcuts under Wayland. Xfce (which i use, now) is not yet Wayland ready so i probably won't switch over, yet, unless i find some Wayland ready alternative. |

Note however that wayland does have the concept of "seats" although I'm not sure which compositors actually implement multiple seats. Evo2. |

In most recent distros, basic wayland support is there whether you want it or not: Code:

i have read that Wayland an LightDM are incompatible. hopefully they meant that LightDM needs a real X Windows to do its password prompt sessions. hopefully that is all it refers to. Quote:

Thanks to evo2's earlier post in this thread, I've been using Wayland on Slackware off and on the past few days and, so far, it's worked quite nicely.
