I'm using Gnome 47 with wayland & Nvidia Rtx Geforce 3050 Mobile Ti, the Gnome Settings won't open. Can somebody help me, please?

I’m using Garuda with the Gnome 47 desktop with Wayland & a Nvidia Geforce Rtx 3050 Mobile Ti graphics card. It’s working except that the Gnome Settings won’t open. Can somebody please help me ?

Template suggests adding garuda-inxi for tailored help.

It works when I use sudo, I’ll open it that way from now on. Thanx for your help.

I thought it was going to work with sudo, but the settings opened using ‘sudo gnome-control-center’. The settings opened but did not work. The settings work when I open them in x11.

what happens if you add

xhost +local:

Before opening in Wayland?

Try using the nvidia-open-dkms drivers as the nvidia-dkms driver has various kinks with wayland.

Hi, the same happened to me. Other GNOME 47 tools wouldn’t open either. This seems to be a known issue at the moment (see: Gnome 47 Apps doesn't launch untill vulkan-intel is uninstalled / Newbie Corner / Arch Linux Forums). It can be solved by disabling Vulcan support: GSK_RENDERER=ngl. Perhaps you could try this first:
export GSK_RENDERER=ngl && gnome-control-center system about
If that works, add the export statement to /etc/environment and you should be golden again.
