Description
What is this PR
Why is this PR needed?
Closes 983.
What does this PR do?
Add a warning to the installation guide (in the "Verify the installation" section), targeted to Linux users with wayland-based desktop environments.
napari(and thereforemovement) won't launch on such environments without a workaround:The warning:
We also considered an alternative, i.e. to automatically detect wayland and set the env variables accordingly in
cli_entrypoint.py, as in ethograph: Akseli-Ilmanen/ethograph#1 (comment). But that fix feels like it belongs innapariitself, instead of in everynapariplugin, so I've proposed it tonaparidevs instead. If they implement that upstream, this warning can potentially be removed.References
