Hi,

I have just installed Arch with Weston and Wayland and have problems with a black screen with a cursor that doesn't blink at top left. It seems the laptop has frozen but I can still reach it by ssh. How do I get debug logs through ssh? Tried weston-launch > debug.txt but that didn't get me anything.

I have installed X and get two ugly terminals, launching weston in one of them makes weston take up just a part of the screen. There I can run weston-gears and other stuff and it works as it should. The cursor is very sensitive though.

I have a laptop with a Nvidia Geforce 8400M graphics card. Would be really glad if I could run it without X! Tried to install Wayland, Weston, mesa, drm etc from git, but there was a lot of packages missing that I probably only could get through AUR. (Haven't learned how AUR works yet)

Cheers!

I have the same problem with my 6150Go. When I do "weston-lauch --tty /dev/tty1" as regular user I can see it gets as far as "initializing drm backend" but stops after that. Only way is to press the power button and let it initiate a soft poweroff. The user is part of "video" group.

Ok this might be related to this problem.

Not sure how to fix it though.

It does! smile

I downloaded "kmscon-git" from the AUR, which is a replacement for the kernel terminals and uses KMS, too. It still "freezes" the screen with a white course just like weston-launch did. sad

Does nouveau work with xwayland-git, yet? I was surprised it didn't replace my official "xorg-server" package.  There are xf86-video drivers for intel and amd/ati but no nouveau on the AUR.
I tried weston-launch with --modules=xwayland.so but couldn't start gedit or chromium.

Re: Wayland on Arch Linux?

Could someone help me to get GTK apps to work in wayland/weston? Im not sure if I should start a new thread for this but here I go:
So I read the wayland wiki page and launching weston and weston-launch works 100%, but I cannot open any gtk apps, I get:

(chromium:2336): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display: 
child 2336 exited

When trying to open chromium

Thunar says "Cannot open display"
I have no idea what that means

I have set the GDK_BACKEND environment variable to wayland, but perhaps Im not doing it correctly.
I did:

export GDK_BACKEND=wayland

If you have libcanberra installed try removing the package.

Sorry, I ment to replay back to this thread but to get GTK to work in wayland you have to set those variables from inside wayland (I think). I was then able to launch some GTK demo app and certain other things.

So from a terminal running inside wayland:

export GDK_BACKEND=wayland

And then it should work. (I think thats what you ment to do)


libcanberra only caused problems in the past (from what I can deduct from the wayland wiki and when libcanberra was last updated)

"Remove libcanberra if you get segmentation faults when running gtk applications. A fix for these segfaults has been committed as of 9 Nov 2012, so presumably as soon as 0.31.0 comes out, this should not be necessary anymore. The AUR contains a working git based libcanberra-git if you want to keep the functionality."

libcanberra was last updated in December,
*Edit
But its still not at 0.31.0

Re: Wayland on Arch Linux?

Hi,
I had set the Variable but GTK can still not find a display but is trying to use wayland non the less (before setting the variable it was complaining it did not find an X socket after setting the variable it says it cannot find "Display ". I think this is due to DISPLAY not being set. I tried setting it to :1 and some other values, only change is that GTk cannot find the Display :1 etc.

I got a similar error in a virtual machine, have you got open-source drivers installed?, you need intel/ati/nvidia open source video drivers for it to work. I didn't try to get it working in a virtual machine past that point, but got it working on a new arch install, although I can confirm, that at least on my system, it works under root (haven't tested it much though).

Edit: I am getting that message again, or a similar one, it seems that only root works, perhaps it is because the installation was done on root and therefore is not setup properly on other users.

far as i know virtual machine's most of them dont have the Driver support for Wayland atm

Weston (weston-launch) just gives me a black screen and jornalctl gives me exactly the same messages like blackout23's. My video card is ati X550 (RV370).

Btw weston works in xorg.

It seems that weston just freezes. The messages in the journal are harmless. I don't know how to report that bug.

Re: Wayland on Arch Linux?

Hi, just trying out wayland/weston on a fresh Arch install. Getting a "failed to initialize egl" error. Here is what I did:

created a new virtualbox guest
installed Arch. logged in etc.
did NOT install X
installed vbox guest additions from pacman
followed instructions on Wayland archwiki (https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Wa … re_Wayland)
couldnt get it running with weston-launch

tried setting the debug variables i.e. tried running

$ MESA_DEBUG=1 EGL_LOG_LEVEL=debug LIBGL_DEBUG=verbose WAYLAND_DEBUG=1 weston-launch

unfortunately didnt get any debug output. so not sure how to debug now.

Does wayland/weston work on virtualbox without X?
Should I be starting/enabling any additional services using systemd?
Should I be loading any additional modules?

Wayland needs KMS and I don't think that virtualbox drivers implement kms functionality. It will only work with the open inter/radeon/nouveau drivers.

Re: Wayland on Arch Linux?

Has anyone tried to install a wayland only system and run, for example, gnome-shell within an xwayland-window?

I'm interested in the subjective performance, my theory is, that on a slow system due to the „every frame is perfect“ principle the animations could be smoother than on a pure x11 window system. Just a theory, but maybe I'm right.

Gnome-shell is not yet ported. Red Hat/Fedora took the action to start porting it. https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/Wayland

Read this http://mjg59.dreamwidth.org/26254.html - basically that setup is pointless, unsupported and broken. XWayland is meant to run individual apps only.

The post is about Mir and XMir, not wayland. Anyway, interesting to read, thanks.

I'm just interested if anyone has tried that, not if it's useful or works perfect - like a proof of concept. But it seems no one out there ever tried that.

From what I understand it would require patches to run it that way. Better to wait few more months for gnome 3.10 and native gnome-shell wayland port.

Well, gnome 3.10 will maybe have wayland support (they changed their opinion about this a few days ago), i think 3.12 or 3.14 is more realistic.
