Bug Description

So in kinfocenter under Graphics -> wayland wayland-info is not found. With a bit of hunting, this binary is in the wayland-utils package.

I guess the wayland-utils package needs adding to the repo.

lsb_release -rd

Something should be displayed regarding wayland information but the screen displays "The executable wayland-info could not be found in $PATH"

I have built wayland-info from source and can confirm it is just a missing package in Kubuntu.

So in kinfocenter under Graphics -> wayland wayland-info is now found and displays the correct information.
