Enlightenment 0.20.1 Wayland fails to start

rabcor · 2016-01-21 13:21:39

I am on a completely fresh arch install, and I installed Enlightenment 0.20 with wayland to try it out, however it fails to properly launch. I use the regular launch command enlightenment_start and it will launch the initial configuration menu (system language, keyboard language, and some base settings) but when the environment itself should start it gives me this error, and then retries in a loop until I cancel:

<<<< Enlightenment Error >>>>
Enlightenment cannot initialize Ecore_X!

LOAD WL_DRM MODULE
exit gdb: 0ore_drm/ecore_drm_sprites.c:85 safety check failed:(!sprite) || (!sprite->output) is truedesktop.UDisks2 /org/freedesktop/UDisks2/drives/Samsung_SSD_850_EVO_250GB_S21PNSAFC72764V, error message: org.enlightenment.DBus.Canceled Canceled by user.

ERR eldbus>lib/eldbus_proxy.c:780 Error getting all properties of org.freedesktop.login1 /org/freedesktop/login1/session/c2, error message: org.enlightenment.DBus.Canceled Canceled by user.

Here is a complete log (with a few artifacts) do note that it gives the "canceled by user" error in every loop, not just the one where I actually do cancel it; and also that during the configuration screen that does properly show, the mouse cursor bugs out and disappears if I try to use it too much.

I'm running a fermi GTX-550-Ti graphics card on nouveau, and have an intel i7 2600 series cpu, with plenty of RAM to spare..

Any ideas? (For the record I was able to successfully launch weston without issues)

Update: I tried running enlightenment with X, it had a relatively similar result, giving me a "seg'v" error on launch giving me an option to recover or exit. everytime I recover the error pops up again immediately. It could be caused by the same thing, but for some reason wayland is unable to display the recovery pop-up and crashes defaulting to the "recover" option getting caught in a loop, or that's what I'd guess anyhow.

Update2: enlightenment-git from AUR runs fine. I find it strange that I'm having less problems with an AUR package than an official one... (although it's after running when I try to use xwayland that that one starts to crash)

'LLo,

Yep, but it sounds enlightenment-git is a 0.19 serie one..
Something strange is that the last EFL & elementary for E20 (1.16) have not the same name relase & are a bit flagged out of date in repos
Maybe try to dowgrade EFL
I'm sorry for this reply, but with last 1.16.1 EFL & friend & enlightenment-0.20.3 builded from their nest, it works (almost !) fine here, but not with wayland yet..!

The pkgbuild was made for enlightenment 0.19 but it just pulls the latest git source, so despite claiming to be version 0.19 it is the latest development version.

But yes maybe the latest efl and elementary are broken somehow. Either way, sounds to me like the enlightenment claim for complete wayland support in version 0.20 isn't being lived up to quite yet, not that I'm very surprised, but I did expect it to at least run. Still, official repository packages should not be broken this way, maybe I should make a thread in the pacman and package building forum about this. It wasn't such a major surprise that it wasn't working on wayland, but it was a surprise that it wasn't working on X either.

Would be nice to know if others are or are not having the same problem with the latest enlightenment package to be sure.

Yup, same problem here. Same version worked fine on Fedora so it must be a packaging issue.

I'll try enlightenment-git now and see if that works.

EDIT: enlightenment from extra works if launched from gdm so I am guessing it is trying to connect to some service that is not launched when using enlightenment_start?

Last time i tried launching wayland on my stable (meaning everything from the repos) it started and worked for the small amount of time i played with it. (i am on radeon though)

Enlightenment-git works with WL even thought it has some known bugs that are being worked on AFAIK.
