NOTE: I'll keep this post up to date with any changes that turn out to be needed, so until it's all in a proper BL package, please regard this as the current BL Carbon Wayland menu.

Here's menu.xml with all the above changes incorporated:

Re: The Wayland plugin for Carbon

^^@johnraff thank you so much for your hard work!  smile

I'm sorry, I've been working on this since yesterday.
20260415-10h57m45s-grim.png

labwc installed yesterday.
It just doesn't work with the path, ~/.config/bunsen/labwc  sad
Using ~/.config/labwc gives the above result. On the login screen I have labwc to choose from (next to bunsen; default; openbox)
Of the 4 required files, I only have your menu.xml in use.

screenshot's = grim and slurp
EXIT = no ('systemctl reboot' helps)
keepassxc = via 'App's Finder' etc.

That's the path it will use if started by the BL Wayland session, which would launch labwc with this command:

/usr/bin/labwc --config-dir "$HOME/.config/bunsen/labwc" --startup "/usr/lib/bunsen/configs/bunsen-autostart"

~/.config/labwc is fine for non-BL systems.

Re: The Wayland plugin for Carbon

OK, thanks,
the path gives me a window for labwc within carbon.

I immediately notice that picom has to be switched off because it doesn't run on wayland. Alternatives for this are swayFX + scenefix. Both are still in their infancy and, building in debian isn't "easy" either.
https://github.com/WillPower3309/swayfx
https://github.com/wlrfx/scenefx
https://github.com/WillPower3309/swayfx … ALL-deb.md

You should therefore switch off picom in the jgmenu from labwc.

Re: The Wayland plugin for Carbon

Picom should not be started with Wayland. The BL Wayland plugin will ship a separate autostart file for labwc, ~/.config/bunsen/autostart-wayland which is run by the labwc --startup "/usr/lib/bunsen/configs/bunsen-autostart".

Apart from not starting Picom, it might not be very different from the X11 autostart because xfce4-panel and xwwall are already available.

Re: The Wayland plugin for Carbon

^It's already the default wallpaper setter in Carbon, works for X11 too.

Re: The Wayland plugin for Carbon

My testing on sid, mako-notifier runs as a systemd service and blocks xfce4-notifyd in an X11 session. You can't run openbox and labwc sessions on one OS without that openbox handicap (maybe you can, but you're talking some script-fu).

Xfce is working on wayland notifyd, though. That would be nice, using the same daemon in both sessions.

Everyone should be cheering for the mouse, I remember him taking a lot of punches back in the day. Go Xfce!

Sorry, I know nothing about mako-notifier. Or knew nothing, till I just looked. Does it get pulled in as a recursive dependency of something? Otherwise just uninstall it. Looking at labwc, it's just a Suggests so that should be no problem.

As you say, running the same notify daemon on both X11 and Wayland is the way we want to go. Generally, there are now rather few default BL apps that only work on one or the other.

PS swaybg swaylock that you used on Sid can both be replaced by BL defaults xwwall and xfce4-screensaver

Re: The Wayland plugin for Carbon

Mako is not a dependency, but so far it's the de facto notifier on wlroots.

man xwwall 

   Configuration
       The config files are stored in  $HOME/.config/xwwall/  directory.   Here
       the  main  configuration is stored from Preferences and if using wayland
       the cmd file which is sourced at startup with the  --restore  option  in
       your   startup  configuration.  On  X11  the  feh  program  generates  a
       $HOME/.fehbg executable file which is  executed  at  startup   with  the
       --restore option if configured in your startup configuration.

The GUI doesn't set anything on wayland. cmd file --restore what now?

Re: The Wayland plugin for Carbon

Anyway, xfce4-notifyd is already working with labwc on sid! New carbon install upgraded to sid, running a very fresh labwc session using xfce4-notifyd, xfce4-panel and the pulse panel-plugin...

Restore the wallpaper. X11 and Wayland have separate BL startup files - can't be helped - but in both cases the command will be  'xwwall --restore'.
