1. Wayland logs
To get the logs of the Wayland protocol messages, set this environment variable before launching your application:
export WAYLAND_DEBUG=1
or you can assign it in your application command line:
WAYLAND_DEBUG=1 ./your_application
You will get the Wayland protocol messages linked to your application:
