Pekka Paalanen <[email protected]> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Status|NEW |RESOLVED Resolution|--- |INVALID --- Comment #3 from Pekka Paalanen <[email protected]> --- Weston's Wayland-backend is meant for running Weston under another Wayland compositor, yes. Just like the DRM backend is for running Weston on DRM/KMS, the fbdev backend is for running Weston on /dev/fb, and the X11 backend is for running Weston under an X server. (In reply to Mark Yao from comment #2) > I test run weston --backend=x11-backend.so,success > then open weston desktop shell: > int the desktop shell: run weston --backend=wayland-backend.so, > success display but get this Error: libwayland: unable to lock lockfile > /run/user/0/wayland-0.lock, maybe another compositor is running > Is it right? This is because Weston 1.6.0 IIRC did not yet automatically search for a free socket name. You can work around that by specifying --socket with an unused name on the command line. Weston 1.7.0 should find a free socket name automatically. > BTW, if I didn't use weston, like glmark2-es2-wayland or gtk3-demo with > wayland, > I should run weston first? or there is another way to run an existing > Wayland compositor. You can run whatever compositor you want. Weston is just one of them and not in any way mandatory. GNOME has one, KDE has one, E has one, and there are more. > My trying is just want to run a destop with wayland backend. I can't see why? If it works, you already have a Wayland environment running, and you don't need Weston with the wayland backend. I think you are confusing some concepts here. The wayland backend is *not* needed to get a Wayland environment running. A Wayland compositor provides a Wayland environment for its clients in any case. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
