 Posted: Fri Apr 11, 2025 10:10 pm Post subject: [SOLVED] How do I use rootless Xwayland on wayfire |
 |
|
Hi,
I'm installing a system, and have wayfire running, using qtgreet as my greeter. Wayland apps work fine. I can also get X apps to work by manually starting Xwayland with a root window. But I can't seem to figure out how to get an X app to work with rootless XWayland. I set the DISPLAY variable and the app starts, but now window/surface appears. From reading around, I gather I need to have an X window manager running, and that I need to provide a file descriptor for the WM client to to.
I'm launching Xwayland like so
| Code: | | $ Xwayland :0 -rootless -dpms -nolock -tst -xinerama +extension GLX +extension XVideo +extension COMPOSITE +extension RENDER -glamor gl -verbose |
I think I need pass an extra '-wm <FD>' but I don't know what to put for FD.
Has anyone figured this out?
EDIT: I had xwayland=false in my user's ~/.config/wayfire.ini; changing it to true fixed everything

Hi.
I also run Wayfire, but haven't had this problem. What does happen if you just run a X program? Does it spit out any errors if you run it in terminal (wayland native terminal)?

No errors. It's just that a window (surface in Wayland parlance) doesn't appear. I think the problem might be that I don't have an X window manager running. I'm not sure whether wayfire provides one? Maybe it's a plugin I haven't enabled?

Do you have | wayfire.ini: | [core]
...
xwayland = true |
and wayfire compiled with USE=X?

Doh! Doh! Doh!
I had in /etc/qtgreet/wayfire.ini, but in my user's .config/.wayfire.ini
Everything is working now having enabled them both. Thanks
