i uninstalled it and installed greetd and tui-greeter. it booted successfully.


# Problem 2
i swithed to wayfire with  wayland:
but i found some gtk program not work (parole, gvfs, mouse manager of xfce4-settings) , unless i added this enviroment to it:
 ```
GDK_BACKEND=x11 parole
```

### gvfs
thunar report the gvfs was not work currectly, and there's no vols appear in left panel of thunar.
for tracering the issue, all of them report an GLIB error. 
for example , this is the report of gvfs debug , using comomand `GVFS_DEBUG=1 $(find /usr/lib* -name gvfsd 2>/dev/null) --replace 2>&1 | tee gvfsd.log ` :
```

(process:14320): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: 11:21:21.921: g_object_new_with_properties: assertion 'G_TYPE_IS_OBJECT (object_type)' failed

(process:14320): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: 11:21:21.924: g_signal_connect_data: assertion 'G_TYPE_CHECK_INSTANCE (instance)' failed
```

### parole
after run parole, there's no window appear, and this is the report of `parole`:
```

(parole:19735): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: 12:28:49.281: invalid cast from 'GdkWaylandDisplay' to 'GdkX11Display'
fish: Job 1, 'parole' terminated by signal SIGSEGV (Address boundary error)

```

### xfce4-mouse-settings 
no window appear too, this is the report:
```
(xfce4-mouse-settings:20508): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: 12:39:15.991: invalid cast from 'GdkWaylandDisplay' to 'GdkX11Display'
fish: Job 1, 'xfce4-mouse-settings' terminated by signal SIGSEGV (Address boundary error)
```

### additional 

if use ` GDK_BACKEND=wayland ` it fails too.
all these program work ok in wayland on Arch.

---
am i missing some packages ? or the glib has some problem ?

packages i have with glib

Comment:
iirc I have run into parole and xfce4-mouse-settings for a while.

It is caused by grabbing the display value from gtk and passing it to xlib regardless of the display server, which on wayland causes xlib to crash. This isn't related to glib (XFCE does not support Wayland atm, although it may be submitting a bug report).

Comment:
Not really a glib issue, I downgraded glib but `parole` still crashes. So, must be something else. @oreo639 suggests this line:

https://github.com/xfce-mirror/parole/blob/e2e85642c8ada8843b8d8f775ca045ed85e0b721/src/parole-button.c#L191

It is caused by grabbing the display struct from gtk and passing it to xlib directly regardless of the display server, which on wayland causes xlib to crash. Regardless, this isn't related to glib. XFCE does not support wayland atm, although it may still be worth submitting a bug report upstream.

Also, I am using gvfs-goa with Thunar right now and it works for me.

These errors seem to only be because you forgot to set GIO_MODULE_DIR=/usr/lib/gio/modules.

after set GIO_MODULE_DIR , there's no lucky happens.

Comment:
gvfs problem was solved by config greetd:

/etc/greetd/config.toml
``` 
command = "tuigreet -t --remember --remember-user-session --asterisks -g 'BE COUCIOUSNESS' --cmd 'dbus-launch --exit-with-session wayfire' "

```
instead of let greetd use the sway/wayfire session file.

so , gvfs fails due to dbus communication.
by the way , 
``` firejail firefox ``` fails also due to this problem.

hope this helpful to others who occurs this problem.

- parole still not solved.
- lxdm still fails , in another pc, fresh installed system. report `Authorization required, but no authorization protocol specified`
