Gray rectangle on logo at startup on RPi OS

CQRLOG runs as expected on my Ubuntu laptop with Ubuntu 24.04. However, on my RPi 500 running RPi OS, CQRLOG starts with a small, gray rectangle/window on top of the logo - If I click the "x" to close that window, the program goes on to work as expected. If I "maximize" that little window, it just has CQRLOG in the top bar, and no other info. How to get rid of the little window on top of the Logo on RPi OS?

Hi,

the problem is related to a Wayland. You have to disable it and X11.

- open a terminal
- enter sudo raspi-config
- go to Advanced options -> Wayland and hit Enter
- there you can choose between X11 and Wayland, choose X11 and hit Enter
- then move to Finish and hit Enter, you'll be asked for a reboot

I had the same problem with CQRLOG on Raspberry PI.
