Getting geary to work on RPi400 ('labwc' wayland compositor)

So does the issue lie with the devs at Raspberry Pi Foundation or here at Gnome? What topic should I create here so that we can find a solution to this?

Neither.

• GNOME / GTK4 apps are developed primarily to work with mutter (GNOME’s wayland implementation) and few other prominent implementations (KWin for KDE etc), but not all.
• GNOME is not the primary DE for RPi OS (though it should work), as RPi OS tries to run a minimal DE by default.

GTK / mutter devs should be able to give a more accurate explanation.

The real issue is, if you try to run an app developed for a particular DE in another DE, there might be issues and compromises. And this is one such example.

Having said that 'gnome-online-accounts' has now switched to the following dialog than a webkit webview for the 'Sign In' feature in version '3.49.0'.

Clicking on 'Sign In..' now opens the authentication link in a web browser.

Please let me know how I can contribute to the platform financially or otherwise.

https://welcome.gnome.org/ should help.

Thanks for your answer, Sid. I only created a new ticket today, so please feel free to edit it for better reach!

Labwc compatibility with GNOME/GTK4 apps

Good morning everyone Recently, I had an issue running Geary on Raspberry Pi OS 64 bit, which now employs labwc as compositor for Wayland. Earlier, this used to be handled by Openbox with X11 as backend. Long story short, I had to switch to X11 for the Gnome Online Accounts window to appear so that I could put in my details. The same window would not show up using labwc. [59447ee76473bbeb24b144c213ff198fe4c48b4f_2_690x479] I understand that GTK4 / GNOME apps are devel…
