System hangs up while starting warpd

workdesk96 commented 10 months ago

I am running linuxlite 6.6 (based on Ubuntu 22.04). I follow the instructions in the readme to compile and install warpd:

git clone https://github.com/rvaiya/warpd.git
cd warpd
sudo apt-get install \
    libxi-dev \
    libxinerama-dev \
    libxft-dev \
    libxfixes-dev \
    libxtst-dev \
    libx11-dev \
    libcairo2-dev \
    libxkbcommon-dev \
    libwayland-dev &&
make && sudo make install

After installation, when I run warpd, the whole system hangs up. The only way to come out of it was to switch to a tty terminal using Ctrl + Alt + Fn and then kill the warpd process. After that, the system is back to normal.

I tried to write the output of 'warpd -f' to a file. But only this gets written to the file:

Starting warpd v1.3.5 (built from: 01650ea)

What could be going wrong, could you please give me a hint on how I can locate the source of the problem and fix it?

I am not using wayland:

$echo $XDG_SESSION_TYPE
x11

This also happens on Arch Linux (using the warpd AUR package) on Xfce4. I simply tried running warpd in a terminal. There is no output in the terminal after killing warpd. Please tell me if I can help provide information to fix this issue.

I am using EndeavourOS with xfce4. Installed the package warpd (warpd-git installation failing). Also having this issue, where after starting, my system freezes. Only way to get the system working is to close the running warpd process via other tty.
