How to check if the X11 display manager is installed?

  • 772

I recently had some problems on sharing the screen on zoom, and I found out that disabling Wayland does the trick. It worked fine for my computer, but when I tried doing this on another computer, I wasn't able to login anymore.

My question is: How can I check if I X11 is installed before disabling Wayland?

Thank you in advance!

xorg xubuntu display-manager wayland

  1. To see if you have x11 installed, simply run this command from a terminal:

    dpkg -l | grep xserver-xorg-core

    and if you get something like:

    ii  xserver-xorg-core                      2:1.19.5-0ubuntu2                                          amd64        Xorg X server - core server

    then you have the server installed.
