On Ubuntu, I had to install plasma-workspace-wayland, and then I get a dropdown menu at the bottom of the login screen to choose the type of session.

Re: xcb problem when starting new build of freecad
Out of curiosity, do you all have AMD (ATI) graphics? Is it recent hardware?
Re: xcb problem when starting new build of freecad
I use an AMD RX580, with the open-source AMDGPU driver.

Damned, Wayland is just a mess on my Debian, it's logging out without visible explanation...
I'm will stay with the "LIBGL_DRI3_DISABLE=true" tip for the moment.
anyway thanks for the hint!

Re: xcb problem when starting new build of freecad
I came across this problem when installing Freecad on a new Ubuntu system, having always run it in a Mac Powerbook before with no problems. I knocked up a script file to implement the work around given in this thread. That worked but Freecad grumbled a bit about a missing Webgui module - it still worked, but...
Anyway, I searched for a solution to that and came across

The interesting thing is that this fixes both the missing Webgui AND the original "failed to create drawable' problems so it seems that Freecad for Ubuntu should be installed not from the Ubuntu repositories but from the freecad-stable PPA:

Re: xcb problem when starting new build of freecad
Yes, in general, the FreeCAD in the Ubuntu Universe repository is not up to date. We prefer the stable or daily versions that you can find in the PPA. See Install on Unix.
