1 month ago Well, from your context I guess you to install any desktop for WM first before using Waydroid. Be advised, make sure you are in Wayland session to start it. And about Debian docs, I think that's enough.

1 month ago I think that you missed my point.
Installation of any software on Debian (and its offspring, like Ubuntu) is governed by dependencies that are explicitly enumerated.
If you start with an absolutely minimum system, you should be able to use
apt-get install for any application (like waydroid) and the required
dependencies must be automatically pulled in.
If you depend on a specific library, make it a dependency and it will be pulled in.
As I mentioned, the current waydroid system doesn't work in that way.
My use case is likely different from the next user, but we should have the same experience.
Currently installing waydroid is not possible using standard Debian packages and one dependency is not available.

Context: I'm attempting this on a minimal Debian Bookworm installation. To start with, this is a text-only install with only the basic system tools and ssh installed. There is no desktop, no X11, no Wayland, this is on purpose - to discover explicitly what is required to make this work as expected out of the box.
I'm opening this issue to attempt to document what's required to actually make
waydroidlaunch under Debian and which dependencies are missing.For example, it appears that
waydroidis dependent onwayland, but that is not a dependency for the package. Similarly, there's a dependency forpyclip, which doesn't appear to exist as a Debian package and the only "working" solution is to break the system by using the--break-system-packagesoption forpip, which is also then a dependency, as-inpython3-pip.Note that I am completely unfamiliar with
waydroid, but I've been using Debian for nearly 25 years.I realise that one option is to make this a
discussionrather than anissue, but at the end of all this I'm expecting to create (and hopefully close) a range of tickets and pull requests.Progress to date:
curl, butwgetis included in the standard utilities. I recommend that the installation script athttps://repo.waydro.idis updated to usewgetinstead. I do not know where to lodge an issue for that, or where to submit a PR.waydroidcompletes, the application does not launch, since it requires a display, but that's not a dependency.lxde-coreafter installingwaydroid, I can runwaydroid show-full-uionce. It displays a download window and offers a selection of images.
