--- Comment #6 from Pekka Paalanen <ppaalanen at gmail.com> ---
It sounds like your underlying issue is that you didn't find the display server
logs. Had you asked "Where do I find the GNOME Wayland logs on Fedora 26?", it
would have been much easier to answer.

I still wonder if even that is not your original problem, since you have not
mentioned what you would expect to see in the logs. Every display server logs
different things, in their own ways. You are welcome to continue that
discussion elsewhere.

Anyway, it seems there is nothing to do here, so I'm closing this report.

Every distribution sets up the display server logging in its own way, be that
display server Xorg, gnome-shell, kwin, weston, or something else. It could be
a dedicated file, it could be in the systemd journal, it could be in the
centralized system logs, or somewhere else.

Just like the HTTP specification is not responsible for where Apache or nginx
write their logs, Wayland is not responsible for how Wayland-based display
servers write their logs. The X11 specification does not dictate where Xorg
writes its logs either.

It is not even libwayland's job to write log files, because every display
server has its own way.
