Disabling Wayland or GPU Rendering for Linux

The Wayland Display Server, which takes the role of the X Window System is not compatible with JumpCloud Remote Assist at this time. Wayland is used by a lot of recent Linux distributions. In this article, we’ll look separately into the steps to disable Wayland and GPU Rendering.

Disabling Wayland on Linux

1. Open the Wayland configuration file for our distribution in one of the places listed below:

2. Use any favorite editor to modify the sudo/root privileges. Remove the # in the line #WaylandEnable=false to change it to WaylandEnable=false. And Save the edits.

This compels the system to use X11 instead of Wayland. If we want to enable the Wayland Display Server again, change WaylandEnable=false to WaylandEnable=true.

3. Select one of the techniques for these changes to go into effect: Restart the computer or run the following command in the terminal:

systemctl sudo restart gdm

Disabling GPU Rendering on Linux

In order to disable GPU rendering and acceleration, we must start Remote Assist using one of the following command line flags:

/opt/jc_user_ro/jumpcloud-remote-assist/jumpcloud-remote-assist –no-sandbox

/opt/jc_user_ro/jumpcloud-remote-assist/jumpcloud-remote-assist –disable-gpu –disable-software-rasterizer

From the TTY console: ‘cd /opt/jc_user_ro/jumpcloud-remote-assist’ and then run ‘./jc-raa-launcher.sh
