Unknown Window Manager message in 17.04

My system has been working fine, but I thought I might try Wayland. In the Control Center, I choose Windows, and a message comes back saying “unkown window manager.” So I can’t try Wayland. Can anyone help?

Hi MikeyBee,

if you want to try Wayland, use Vanilla Ubuntu, I wouldn’t try using it on Ubuntu Mate, it is still flaky on Ubuntu anyway, I use “x-org” at login on my Ubuntu install as Wayland doesn’t work well at the mo!. :smiling_imp:

Thanks, Wolfman. I really like UM, so I’ll just stick with X for now. Cheers and beware the moon! :wink:
