Pywlroots on raspberry pi (ARM architecture)

Steuv1871 commented 8 months ago

Hi!

Raspberry Pi OS switched compositor to Wayland when they upgraded to Debian Bookworm, so I wanted to give it a try with my favorite Window Manager: Qtile.
Qtile needs pywlroots to run with wayland, but I can't manage to install it on the raspberry pi.

I was able to install correctly pywayland and python-xkbcommon . wlroots is also correctly installed (was able to launch Wayfire which is Raspberry Pi OS default WM).

But when I pip install pywlroots==0.16.4 (Qtile require this version at the moment), I got a compiling error that I can't find documentation on, and I didn't found a way to fix it...

Here is the console output with the error message:

What I've tried to fix the issue:

Install the latest version of pywlroots --> Same error
Force a full build (if I understand correctly) with pip install pywlroots==0.16.4 --no-cache-dir --no-binary=pywlroots --> Same error
Updating gcc --> Already up to date
Clone the repo and build from source with python setup.py sdist then pip install ./dist/pywlroots-0.16.6.tar.gz --> Got a different compiling error:

I guess the wlroots version of bookworm is too old. Acc. to https://packages.debian.org/bookworm/libwlroots-dev Debian bookworm ships wlroots 0.15.1

Steuv1871 commented 8 months ago

Thanks for your response, I didn't think to check if debian packages are up-to-date !

I'll try to install a more recent version or build from source. Do you know what is the minimum version needed ?

heuer commented 8 months ago

I'd try 0.16.2. Maybe any of the 0.16.x versions may work. I use wlroots 0.16.2 with Qtile 0.24.0 and pywlroots 0.16.6.

Steuv1871 commented 8 months ago

Thanks !

But unfortunally it didn't work.

I've tried wlroots 0.16.2 from Rapsberrypi repo and 0.17.2 from Debian Experimental and neither works.

Got a different error message with wlroots 0.17.2 (build/temp.linux-aarch64-cpython-311/wlroots._ffi.c:587:10: fatal error: wlr/types/wlr_idle.h: No such file or directory) but can't go further.

heuer commented 8 months ago

0.17.x has changed a lot, so it's not surprising that it does not work. The error you're referring to is caused by the removal of the KDE idle protocol in wlroots 0.17.

wlroots 0.16.x ships with the protocol, so it's required by pywlroots 0.16.x.

What error do you get with wlroots 0.16.2 from the Raspberry repo?

Steuv1871 commented 8 months ago

Can you try the following and report if it works (with libwlroots-dev 1.6.2 installed):

$ python -m venv test
$ source ./test/bin/activate
$ pip install pywlroots

Steuv1871 commented 8 months ago

unfortunaly not, still the same error.

heuer commented 8 months ago

Okay, if nobody jumps in I'll try to install pywlroots during next week on my Raspberry Pi. From the logs I see that you're running the 64-bit version of the OS. Which Raspberry Pi model, btw?

Steuv1871 commented 8 months ago

Yep, 64bits it is.
I'm using a Raspberry Pi Zero 2, but I've also tried on a Raspberry Pi 4.

Thanks again for your valuable hep !

heuer commented 8 months ago

I still think there is a libwlroots-dev vs. pywlroots version mismatch, anyway. I have both Raspberries, I'll try it within the next days.

heuer commented 8 months ago

heuer commented 8 months ago

I can confirm the problem (using a Pi400) for Raspberry Pi OS Lite released March 15th 2024:

sudo apt install -y python3-dev libwlroots11 libwlroots-dev
python -m venv qtile
source qtile/bin/activate
pip install qtile[wayland]
==> ERROR
pip install pywlroots
==> ERROR
sudo apt install -y git
git clone https://github.com/flacjacket/pywlroots.git
cd pywlroots/
pip install .
==> ERROR

We need to dig deeper into why this doesn't work. I still assume a version mismatch, but we need to investigate this further.

heuer commented 8 months ago

Congrats, you found a bug in the libwlroots-dev package! ;)

The package mixes sources from wlroots 0.16 and 0.17. Looking at the files, some were replaced with newer ones on February 13th.

I'll take a closer look at this this evening and (hopefully) write how to solve the problem.

Steuv1871 commented 8 months ago

Congrats, you found a bug in the libwlroots-dev package! ;)

One of my life goal :)

Thanks a lot for your time !

heuer commented 8 months ago

I found a solution to the problem that pywlroots cannot be installed:

wget https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/wlroots/wlroots/-/releases/0.16.0/downloads/wlroots-0.16.0.tar.gz
tar -zxf wlroots-0.16.0.tar.gz
cd wlroots-0.16.0/include/wlr
# Replace any wlroots 0.17 file with 0.16.0
sudo cp -pr backend interfaces render types util xwayland /usr/include/wlr/
# Change permissions back to root
sudo chown -R root:root /usr/include/wlr/

Now

pip install qtile[wayland]

should work.

But unfortunately, the ffi module required by the Qtile Wayland backend is not created.

So

qtile start -b wayland

quits with the error message

Warning: Wayland backend not built. Backend will not run.

Solution:

wget https://files.pythonhosted.org/packages/be/56/8d6e2716e8ec37fa7c32d074130bd23fb7dd40b7e2e8231633c183942e5b/qtile-0.24.0.tar.gz
tar -zxf qtile-0.24.0.tar.gz
cd qtile-0.24.0/
./scripts/ffibuild
# (assuming that you created a virtual environment "qtile-venv")
cp libqtile/backend/wayland/_ffi* ../qtile-venv/lib/python3.11/site-packages/libqtile/backend/wayland/

Now

qtile start -b wayland

simply quits quietly. I call it progress. ;)

I don't know what's going wrong, I added the logfile (using qtile start -b wayland -l DEBUG). Maybe the Qtile developers have an idea what's going wrong there?

Or maybe you've more luck on your machine?

qtile.log

heuer commented 8 months ago

I don't know what's going wrong

I guess that the binary libwlroots package suffers from similar problems as the -dev package.

Anyway, I was now able to run Qtile. \o/

Please note that it is generally not a good idea to mix packages. I haven't tested the system any further; it could be that other programs are now unstable or no longer running at all.

You are now sufficiently warned, here is my way to run Qtile (using packages from Ubuntu):

wget https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/wlroots/0.16.2-3/+build/26476999/+files/libwlroots-dev_0.16.2-3_arm64.deb
wget http://launchpadlibrarian.net/680327734/libwlroots11_0.16.2-3_arm64.deb
sudo apt install ./libwlroots11_0.16.2-3_arm64.deb
sudo apt install ./libwlroots-dev_0.16.2-3_arm64.deb

I'm ricing a Raspberry Pi zero 2, unstable is my way of life 😎 (I have PTST caused by neovim's LSP)

Jokes aside, I removed libwlroots11 and libwlroots-dev before trying your solution.

And it worked ! I was able to install pywlroots and launch qtile with Wayland !

Note, that I had the backend error too and used your method to fix it.

So to sum up the solution :

# Remove previous version of libwlroots
sudo apt remove libwlroots11 libwlroots-dev -y
# Install the functioning ones
wget https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/wlroots/0.16.2-3/+build/26476999/+files/libwlroots-dev_0.16.2-3_arm64.deb
wget http://launchpadlibrarian.net/680327734/libwlroots11_0.16.2-3_arm64.deb
sudo apt install ./libwlroots11_0.16.2-3_arm64.deb
sudo apt install ./libwlroots-dev_0.16.2-3_arm64.deb
# install Qtile with Wayland dependencies and backend
pip install --no-binary :all: --config-setting backend=wayland qtile[wayland]

Thanks a lot for your help !

Do you consider the issue as resolved as the problem was not from pywlroots ?
Or do you prefer to keep it open until libwlroots* are patched ?
