Do you use hikari? If so this is probably related to a missing protocol.
Besides, hikari upstream is dormant: no fixes since 2021-07-21 and stuck
on an old wlroots version.

Try a different Wayland compositor from ports/packages:
- floating/stacking: wayfire, labwc
- tiling: swayfx, hyprland, river, dwl
