I get the same error on Tumbleweed with GNOME running in wayland, installed as flatpak. I have an AMD Radeon RX7900XT

[tylerlucas]

Find a solution yet? Still nothing for me.

[d4bn3y666]

Doesn't work for me either. Switching to x11 works fine.
I thought x11 was old news, how do we get sunshine to work under wayland ?

[LeTabouret]

Same issue here.

[sadsephiroth]

Had similar issue, minus the Failed to gain CAP_SYS_ADMIN part of your log. Running in Flatpak. Garuda Dragonized. Switching to monitor 0, even though it said not detected, worked. Try changing monitor number.

[Adagium42]

Fedora users are facing the same issue. amdgpu here.

dev.lizardbyte.app.Sunshine ... This is the community flatpak... better off asking the maintainer.
