Pretty cool Darxus! Works as well on a Precise live CD (USB stick). I only had to replace the second "apt-get upgrade" with "apt-get dist-upgrade". Then I went to a VT and restarted lightdm with: sudo service lightdm restart and ran: unity --reset on the same VT Back at VT 7 unity had restarted and weston ran fine (got some errors like "Internal error: Could not resolve keysym SunProps/SunFront/SunOpen" though). The programs you mentioned all ran fine initially, but it all went downhill when I tried running weston from a VT to get it in full screen mode (yeah yeah, total hubris, I know). Now some programs start, but crash when I mouse over them, and the more complex programs (like... anything but calculator) don't start at all. Would there be a way to get weston to run from a VT? That is, in full screen mode? /runeks <div class="gmail_quote">On Wed, Apr 18, 2012 at 3:07 PM, <<a href="mailto:darxus@chaosreigns.com">darxus@chaosreigns.com</a>> wrote: <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">On 04/18, <a href="mailto:darxus@chaosreigns.com">darxus@chaosreigns.com</a> wrote: > When I tried using the Ubuntu GTK+ 3.4.1 source and only > applying the patches to default to X11 output before Wayland > (<a href="https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=674102" target="_blank">https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=674102</a>) and remove the > cairo-gl dependency (<a href="https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=672361" target="_blank">https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=672361</a>), > all applications segfault when I attempt to run them through Wayland. > That PPA is here: <a href="https://launchpad.net/%7Edarxus/+archive/wayland-gtk" target="_blank">https://launchpad.net/~darxus/+archive/wayland-gtk</a> It turns out this one works fine, after you put "export LIBOVERLAY_SCROLLBAR=0" in your ~/.bashrc . Thanks to seb128. These packages should be quite clean, since they're just the Ubuntu packages plus two patch sets (default to X before Wayland, remove cairo-gl dependency) and adding the two build flags to enable the Wayland backend (without disabling the X backend), both pulled from GTK git master. They're also not showing the graphical glitching I was getting with the packages based on GTK git master. Bonus, GTK themes are working now, so GTK applications are looking much nicer in Wayland. Keep in mind it's entirely possible this will break stuff. But using it works something like this: Install Ubuntu Precise. echo "export LIBOVERLAY_SCROLLBAR=0" >> ~/.bashrc sudo apt-get install ppa-purge sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade sudo apt-add-repository ppa:darxus/wayland-gtk sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade # should only upgrade gtk packages Reboot. In one gnome-terminal, run: export XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=/tmp # Put in ~/.bashrc? weston In another gnome-terminal, run: export XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=/tmp export GDK_BACKEND=wayland gnome-calculator & gnome-terminal & file-roller & charmap & gnome-sudoku & gwibber & transmission-gtk & brasero & gnome-sound-recorder & baobab & gedit & rhythmbox & gnome-system-monitor & To revert all changes: sudo ppa-purge ppa:darxus/wayland-gtk # Nice 'n tidy. Please do let me know what GTK applications you find do and don't work, so I can update <a href="http://www.chaosreigns.com/wayland/works/" target="_blank">http://www.chaosreigns.com/wayland/works/</a> And, of course, let me know how the packages work. I have it on good authority that this stuff will never make it into Ubuntu Precise, not even as an SRU (Stable Release Update). But I can't imagine why it wouldn't make the October Ubuntu release. -- "Begin at the beginning and go on till you come to the end; then stop." - Lewis Carrol, Alice in Wonderland <a href="http://www.ChaosReigns.com" target="_blank">http://www.ChaosReigns.com</a> _______________________________________________ wayland-devel mailing list <a href="mailto:wayland-devel@lists.freedesktop.org">wayland-devel@lists.freedesktop.org</a> <a href="http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/wayland-devel" target="_blank">http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/wayland-devel</a> </blockquote></div>
