Disabling the Wayland Display Server

The Software Client for Linux does not support Wayland on Ubuntu 22.04 machines. If Wayland is enabled on your machine, the Anyware Client is unable to retrieve the monitor display EDID, resulting in display issues while connecting to a PCoIP session.

Follow the steps given below to disable Wayland, and use Xorg instead.

  1. On the Anyware client, open a command line terminal.

  2. Use the vi editor or any other editor of your choice to open the custom.conf file with root permissions.

    sudo vi /etc/gdm3/custom.conf

  3. Look for the following line: WaylandEnable=true

  4. To use the Xorg display server, comment out this line.

  5. Reboot the client machine.

Subsequent PCoIP connections will now use Xorg connections.
