start weston directly

#1 Post by Aquarina »

Hi,

I want a minimal (debootstrap) installation with wayland because I only have 2G of RAM, so the least I have to install, the better.
I installed weston, but now when i do

Code: Select all

$ weston
or

Code: Select all

$ weston-launch
from the console, I don't see a graphical environment.

I already added myself to weston-lauch and didn't fix the error, so I removed myself from the group again to start from a clean state.
I also noticed that that is meant for a system without systemd. I do intend to use systemd.
Since one of the errors mentioned not having XDG_RUNTIME_DIR defined, I defined it and created the directory:

Code: Select all

$ mkdir -m 700 /tmp/1000
$ export XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=/tmp/1000
If I try:

Code: Select all

$ weston
I get:

Code: Select all

[...]
logind: not running in a systemd session
logind: cannot setup systemd-logind helper (-61), using lagacy fallback
fatal: drm backend should be run using weston-launch binary, or your sistem should porvide rhe logind D-Bus API
fatal: failed to create compositor backend
If I try:

Code: Select all

$ weston-lauch
I get:

Code: Select all

Permission-denied. You should either:
- run from an active and local (systemd) session. # preferred, right?
- or add yourself to the 'weston-lauch' group. # Duh! This didn't help!
Any hints?

Well...
Instead of really understanding the issue, I just kept installing things I knew I would need expecting some dependency to crawl in.
Indeed that happened. I can now launch weston.
I'm so sorry not to have learned anything from this episode. :-/
