<html> <head> <meta content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1" http-equiv="Content-Type"> </head> <body bgcolor="#FFFFFF" text="#000000"> Hi darxus, I installed your PPA on my ubuntu 12.04 desktop and followed your directions on <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://launchpad.net/~darxus/+archive/wayland-gtk">https://launchpad.net/~darxus/+archive/wayland-gtk</a> to run the gtk apps you listed both on native weston and weston as X11 client. I would like to share some information of my trying. 1.  gtk apps will crash due to invoke gdk_x11_* functions in libcanberra-gtk3-module which is a sound event wrapper lib for gtk3. so I removed this package. 2. Should setuid for weston like this:      sudo chown root /usr/bin/weston      sudo chmod +s /usr/bin/weston 3. Each time launched weston, should make the sockect accessible for clients:     sudo chmod ugo+rw /tmp/wayland*     I noticed that 2 and 3 has been mentioned in this thread, but adding them into your directions may make thing easier. 4. For gnome-terminal, gedit and rhythmbox,  should launch a session bus and export the DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS. When run app under unity, DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS is already their.  when  run app in fullscreen weston (launched in VT), should export DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS manually. 5. brasero can not run, and no useful log printed. <span style="font-size:10.5pt;mso-bidi-font-size:11.0pt;font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif";mso-ascii-theme- font:minor-latin;mso-fareast-font-family: 宋体;mso-fareast-theme-font:minor-fareast;mso-hansi-theme- font:minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-bidi-theme-font:minor-bidi; mso-ansi-language:EN-US;mso-fareast-language:ZH-CN;mso-bidi-language:AR-SA" lang="EN-US">     于 2012/4/18 23:07, <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:darxus@chaosreigns.com">darxus@chaosreigns.com</a> 写道: <blockquote cite="mid:20120418150702.GY22655@chaosreigns.com" type="cite"> <pre wrap="">On 04/18, <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:darxus@chaosreigns.com">darxus@chaosreigns.com</a> wrote: </pre> <blockquote type="cite"> <pre wrap="">When I tried using the Ubuntu GTK+ 3.4.1 source and only applying the patches to default to X11 output before Wayland (<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=674102">https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=674102</a>) and remove the cairo-gl dependency (<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=672361">https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=672361</a>), all applications segfault when I attempt to run them through Wayland. </pre> </blockquote> <pre wrap=""> </pre> <blockquote type="cite"> <pre wrap="">That PPA is here: <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://launchpad.net/~darxus/+archive/wayland-gtk">https://launchpad.net/~darxus/+archive/wayland-gtk</a> </pre> </blockquote> <pre wrap=""> 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 class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.chaosreigns.com/wayland/works/">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. </pre> </blockquote> </body> </html>
