Hi, have you compared your file and experience with the example and discussion at https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/patch/190638/ ? Currently I have no knowledge beyond that. Would be good to not throw the weston log away and instead check if there is anything unusual. "Failed with result 'protocol'" sounds like systemd didn't like the communication, but I'm not sure. Why would you run it as root? (I assume your email was in the moderation queue, it arrived just now.) Thanks, pq
