Re: Wayland on Arch Linux?

What you probably need to do is setup an SSH server where weston is being launched so you can use "killall weston" to restore your input.

Explain what your goal is. Are you wanting to launch weston over Xorg? How are you wanting to launch weston?
What driver are you using?
Provide any info you can.

On a seperate note, the xwayland package I provided is broken. Instead, copy the official xorg-server package from the official repos and adapt it to fetch and compile xwayland (it's literally the exact same thing anyways, just with wayland routines).
Also, I brought up rebasing xwayland on their IRC channel, supposedly someone is working on it. If that's the case, I'll host my own PKGBUILD again. Outside of that, I think its pointless since most people don't use it enough.

Re: Wayland on Arch Linux?

You must build mesa with --disable-gallium-llvm to fix/hide that problem.

Re: Wayland on Arch Linux?

Building Mesa with "--with-llvm-shared-libs" seems to fix the llvm assertion on radeon at least. For the first time I can run weston on Arch using the drm backend. cool

I'd guess that you could run a GTK3 browser like midori or epiphany, but haven't tried it.

Re: Wayland on Arch Linux?

Any NVIDIA user who might be looking to test wayland without having to make changes to their main system or needing to recompile a bunch of packages, could try the latest RebeccaBlackOS live media. For the first time I was able to launch it without instant segfault and a variety of apps seem to be working, including Firefox.

Re: Wayland on Arch Linux?

Hey guys, I have a question concerning Wayland/Weston.

I installed the packages from repository (and reinstalled to be sure every dependency is satisfied).
As X client it launches and runs happily (except for GTK+ applicatons' segfaults).

But when I tried launching Weston from console (without X running) using "weston-launch" it didn't work - failed while creating input devices. What it said is:

...
[21:18:17.307] opening input device '/dev/input/event12' failed.
[21:18:17.307] failed to create input devices
[21:18:17.313] fatal: failed to create compositor

Full output: http://www.pastebay.net/1197673

It seemed strange to me that failure to create input device would prevent Weston from launching so I tried to investigate what the mysterious "/dev/input/event12" device is. It turned out to be:

I: Bus=0019 Vendor=0000 Product=0000 Version=0000
N: Name="Acer BMA150 accelerometer"
P: Phys=wmi/input1
S: Sysfs=/devices/virtual/input/input12
U: Uniq=
H: Handlers=event12 js0 
B: PROP=0
B: EV=9
B: ABS=7

Any ideas why it may be preventing Weston from launching?

My machine has integrated Intel graphics with "xf86-video-intel" and "intel-dri" drivers installed.

Thanks for the suggestion! Over this past weekend I downloaded and tried out RebeccaBlackOS. It ran perfectly, and it was really neat getting to see Wayland / Weston in action.

I then went to work on Monday and told all of my coworkers that I installed RebeccaBlackOS. My favorite part of the OS is the default home page. big_smile

Re: Wayland on Arch Linux?

So say I set up xwayland, could I then use that just like X, but with the benefit of wayland protocols being available? I wanna try out using it as my normal display system, if possible.

Why not? tongue Asides from weston-launch, my user has been in those groups since I first installed Arch Linux.

I heard weston required being in certain groups. I'm fuzzy on this. Free feel to tell me what weston needs. smile

Re: Wayland on Arch Linux?

@fsckd
Not sure when did you install Arch (presumably a looong time ago), but things change: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Sy … nformation

Adding your user to groups (sys, disk, lp, network, video, audio, optical, storage, scanner, power, etc.) is not necessary for most use cases with systemd.

I know nothing about wayland, but if you're using systemd, you may want to remove yourself from these groups.

No really, why are you in the fsckd group? As far as I'm aware, that is not a real group, that's just your username. (sorry, I know this probably won't help with your issue, but that doesn't make a lot of sense).

It's offtopic  to the thread but since you are persistent I'll oblige you. smile An admin creates the groups as needed by the system. I have GID 1000 for interoperability between my systems. If you have more questions or want details, feel free to email me. Now let's keep this thread about wayland/weston. smile

Re: Wayland on Arch Linux?

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!

Re: Wayland on Arch Linux?

PULSEAUDIO with wayland
tested with mpv player

switching to a terminal and running weston-launch  - NO pulseaudio output

inside a running X session weston + pulseaudio works well

any idea?

Re: Wayland on Arch Linux?

Probably because you don't have a valid logind session on the second tty or are starting weston on another tty where you don't.
