Configure FactoryTalk Optix display engine

Configure an Ubuntu client system to display
FactoryTalk Optix Applications
 with the
FactoryTalk Optix Studio
 display engine.
TIP: You can display
FactoryTalk Optix Applications
 in a web browser instead of using the
FactoryTalk Optix Studio
 display engine. Displaying applications in a web browser does not require additional display engine configuration on client systems. For more information, see Presentation Engines.
  1. Verify that the X11 windows manager is installed.
    TIP: Ubuntu Desktop installations include the X11 windows manager by default.
  2. Disable the Wayland manager by uncommenting
    #WaylandEnable=false
     in
    /etc/gdm3/custom.conf
    .
