Can the choice of the display manager influence gufw?

On ArcoLinux (based on Arch Linux) we have your version

21.04.0-1

package

https://archlinux.org/packages/community/any/gufw/

build

archlinux/svntogit-community@2321982?branch=2321982d0f254f345d927a9ee1622c28366278ca&diff=split

When starting our OS with lightdm gufw launches after giving the password.
When starting our OS with sddm gufw does NOT launch after giving the password.

Instead we get error messages.

Maybe if you see it, it gives you a clue what to look for.

Thanks in advance for your time.

This is the fix for the moment until we understand what is happening.

Hi, Yes, Gufw didn't work with Wayland for example, I'm not sure it works now with Wayland. But it's not Gufw, it's because Gufw is launched with pkexec. Best regards.

Solved my issue.
For future readers

.screenrc was adding wrong folders to the PATH
echo $PATH
Check what you have.
I deleted these lines in .xsessionrc.
They added the wrong path to my $PATH.
