Ubuntu 17.10运行Spotify或Discord时自动登出问题求助

Hey there! I dealt with this exact frustrating issue back when I was using Ubuntu 17.10, and you’re spot-on to suspect Wayland—those apps had major compatibility hiccups with it at the time. Let’s walk through the fixes that got things working for me and other community members:

1. Switch to Xorg for Login #

Ubuntu 17.10 defaults to Wayland, but switching to Xorg (the older, more compatible display server) usually resolves the logout issue immediately:

• When you reach the login screen (before entering your password), click the small gear icon next to your username
• Select the Ubuntu on Xorg option, then log in as usual
• Launch Spotify or Discord afterward—you shouldn’t get kicked out anymore

2. Force Apps to Use XWayland (No Full Xorg Switch) #

If you want to stick with Wayland, you can force these Qt-based apps to run via XWayland (a compatibility layer that bridges Wayland and Xorg apps):

For Spotify: #

• Open your terminal and edit the Spotify desktop file with:

  sudo nano /usr/share/applications/spotify.desktop
  

• Find the line that starts with Exec=spotify %U
• Replace it with: Exec=env QT_QPA_PLATFORM=xcb spotify %U
• Save the file (press Ctrl+O, then Enter) and exit nano (Ctrl+X), then restart Spotify

For Discord: #

• Do the same for Discord’s desktop file:

  sudo nano /usr/share/applications/discord.desktop
  

• Modify the Exec line to: Exec=env QT_QPA_PLATFORM=xcb discord %U
• Save and exit, then restart Discord

3. Update System & Apps (If Possible) #

Ubuntu 17.10 is end-of-life now, but if you still have access to updates, patching might fix underlying bugs:

• Run these commands in terminal to update system packages:

  sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade
  

• Make sure Spotify and Discord are on their latest versions—check for updates within each app’s settings menu

Bonus: Check Graphics Drivers #

If you’re using an NVIDIA GPU, Wayland support in 17.10 was pretty spotty. Head to Software & Updates > Additional Drivers and switch to the proprietary NVIDIA driver (not the open-source nouveau one) — this often fixes display-related crashes and logouts.
