# Gnome isn't able to enter wayland: solution
[Versión en español](https://gitea.sergiotarxz.freemyip.com/germedeb/Luci-Blogpost/src/branch/master/Posts/Gnome-Xwayland/Gnome-Xwayland-ES.md)
Ok, this will be a short post, but I hope this can help you if you stop at the same situation.
This is the problem: You try to open gnome (wayland) and at the first second, it closes and it drops you at GDM again.
If you see the logs, there is an entry that says that there is an error with the group and user of the folder `/tmp/.X11-unix`.
## Solution:
Aas we say, the thing that makes problems is the user and group of the `/tmp/.X11-unix` folder, that should be `root`.
This can be changed with two commands:
```
sudo chown root /tmp/.X11-unix
sudo chgrp root /tmp/.X11-unix
```
It should be done. I launched that in sway, but I'm not sure about what can happens if you run that inside a X11 session. Try to run it only in a TTY or in a wm that don't use Xorg.
## Bye bye!
With that, I leave. Hope I helped you
