Getting wl_shm error Running qcom/master on RB5 #182

Closed robertarndt201 closed 8 months ago

Can't launch weston. No weston-launch (has been deprecated), and get this output: "Error: Failed to retrieve wl_shm from parent Wayland compositor".

Steps:

  1. Built from branch qcom/master
  2. Built rpb-wayland for qcom/armv8a machine
  3. Flashed
  4. Never got a UI, so from linaro console, set WAYLAND_DISPLAY to /run/wayland-0
  5. Ran command WAYLAND_DISPLAY=/run/wayland-0 LIBSEAT_BACKEND=logind weston

Launches but cursor just blinks forever, sometimes locks up RB5 device.

I resolved my problem and got the RB5 working by using the qcom/dunfell branch. Often Wayland/Weston doesn't come up though, so for the next person FYI, run:

  1. killall weston-launch
  2. /usr/bin/weston --tty=1 --idle-time=0

If you don't get the desktop.
