Re: X client from Wayland to X11 through ssh

Hi, I believe you are using a terminal from another computer, and not using a remote X or Wayland client like VNC? (e.g. "I usually access it via ssh") If so, please use apt to install software. for example, become root $ sudo -i or just su (which is what I use) $ su After logging in as root
