Enlightenment 20.1: crash when trying Wayland

Hi,

I tried to launch Enlightenment 20.1, from extra repo, under wayland.
Directly from Linux console, I used the following command:

enlightenment_start

After some init messages, there is a crash and the VT is blocked. I have to onen another VT with ctrl-shift-F2 to properly reboot. Here is the crash message:

[...]
ESTART: 3.64764 [0.00001] - Screens Init

<<<< Enlightenment Error >>>>

I tried to redirect the output to save it and post this message. And actually there are other error and non-error messages, which were not displayed in the VT:

I definitely love these spanking error messages :-]

Anyway, I noted that XWayland is trying to launch. But the Enlightenment package is compiled without the --enable-xwayland option, which is used in the enlightenment-git package from AUR.
I don't know if that's relevant, and I haven't time to compile and try the Enlightenment packages in AUR, recompiled from git.

Anybody have advice about how to run Enlightenment under Wayland with the packages from Arch repos?

Re: Enlightenment 20.1: crash when trying Wayland

I tried it and it starts. What is your setup (gpu etc)?

Be warned that it is not considered production ready yet.

BTW xwayland is enabled in the latest PKGBUILD

Re: Enlightenment 20.1: crash when trying Wayland

Ah yes, xwayland is now enabled. Great then !
My graphics setup is Radeon HD 4530/4570/545v (as given by lspci) and mesa. All up to date. I also have Xorg server installed because I usually use Enlightenment under X.

Did you try from the raw Linux console or from a login manager ?
Any environment variables need to be set ?

Re: Enlightenment 20.1: crash when trying Wayland

I am on radeon r600g.

I just stopped my lxdm.service and from a VT i typed enlightenment_start. No variables needed. I don't have xorg-server-xwayland installed so my apps (ie firefox) weren't working.  E stuff like terminology was working. It has this bug which crashes E when resizing but i think it is on their bug tracker.   

Tbh i didn't spent much time with it and won't move to it until there is keyboard layout support and it becomes less crashy.
