Hi all,

I just wanted to bring this bug to your attention:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1295031

The tl;dr is that file previews in nautilius (aka sushi) will not work on Wayland, and thus will be broken by default in F25.

We have two options going forward, we can either do one of those, or both:

1) We can patch sushi in Fedora to use the X11 backend (and thus XWayland), as suggested in one of the upstream bugs. I'm not sure if this will work since I don't have time to test this at the moment, but it might "fix" the problem, at least in the short term.

2) We can remove sushi from our default installation. Shipping something that will just crash when used with our defaults (ie. Wayland) doesn't make much sense and it's probably violating our final release criteria that says default applications must work as expected.

I hope I'll have time to test if "solution" #1 works soon and report the result.

Anyway, I think the WG should decide what will happen to this package.
