Waydroid Won't Start (Bazzite Deck Gnome)
Hi, I'm having an issue when I try launching Waydroid. I followed the tutorial on the Universal Blue website and after running Step 2, Waydroid refuses to open.
When I run the command:
waydroid show-full-ui
I get the error:
Wayland socket '/run/user/1000/wayland-0' doesn't exist; are you running a Wayland compositor?
Is this because I'm running Gnome or is there a way that it can work? I had a look and it says I'm on X11. Any help would be really appreciated!
Note: I'm on a physical Steam Deck.

you need to use wayland instead of xorg
How do I switch to that?
Same issue I'm running into
try
just _toggle_waylandI did some digging and came across that command but it didn't do anything when I ran it
did you select wayland session?
Wait am I supposed to get an additional option after running it?
select if from your login manager, there is a wayland option and an x11 option
Oh, where do I find that?
I'm stuck on x11 when I log out it logs me back in
That means you have auto login enabled. Disable it
If I hit Log Out it just puts me into Game Mode
I have it turned off and it still just throws me back into desktop mode
Okay so I guess I need to enable root for my account I didn't do that in the install how do I go about enabling root
Well I can't modify my custom.conf file it has automatic login set as true.
Yeah. Run it, switch to game mode, and switch bacl tp desktop.
Not trying to thread hijack but I'm having same issue as op
On bazzite deck?
Yes I'm on the newest iso been trying to get waydroid to run all day 🙃
run
just _toggle_waydroid once, go to game mode, go back to desktop.
I need to change the guide, I'll do it todayGot command Not found
You written
just _toggle_wayland?
Can you show a screenshotOkay I did that forgot to put just
Yup, so now go to game mode
I click waydroid and nothing happens
Can you run
waydroid show-full-ui
Run this for me:
loginctl show-session 2 -p TypeFailed to get session path: No session '2' known
Try this:
echo $XDG_SESSION_TYPEokay i pasted that one in was anything supposed to popup
It should show what compositor you're using
either x11 or wayland
oh i see x11
Try doing the
just _toggle_wayland and going to game mode thing againokay no change when i ran that comand
Weird... In the meantime, skip to step 6, and instead of opening waydroid when you need it, open weston, then go back and do what you need to do.
@KyleGospo Might want to look into the
just _toggle_wayland command not working
Just to confirm, you did enter and exit game mode right?okay step 6 is complete
Try opening weston
okay i have it open
saying something about this device isnt play protected
Yes, that's part of the guide
Go back to where you was
okay i did the play certificate and got it registerd but waydroid isnt poping up yet
What part are you stuck on?
well am i supposed to be running android throught weston or waydroid ?
Weston. All weston does is create a wayland "space" for waydroid to open and auto-opens waydroid within it.
so from know on i just run Weston to run android ?
Yep. It's also what you add to steam for waydroid to work in game mode.
okay thanks for the help
use nano to modify it
I'll give this a shot
yeah it just shows me the desktop again 😔
I got Weston set up but when I launch it, it's just a black screen
It takes a minute to launch waydroid
Ah okay, thought I might've just been impatient loool
I'll give it some time
It's just black because the compositor loads before waydroid, so you're basically just staring at a blank "desktop"
Ahhhh okay
Thanks
Strange, the screen is still black
got the same issue, trying to launch Waydroid, it opens for a second then closes
same error message
OK scratch that, reboot seems to have fixed it, I now have Weston working 
reference, my issue seems to be that the SELINUX=enforcing got reset somehow. Saved it again and voila!

PROGRESS
I think I might have it
So Weston only launches properly if I do
weston --use-pixman
Is there a way to change the shortcut for Steam to where it launches that way instead of normally?
So I've got it to where just typing "weston" on its own now launches Weston just fine, but if I launch it through Activities or Steam it's just a black screen again
I'll try in game mode to see if it makes a difference
Yeah black screen on Steam
Fixed it through making my ini file just consist of the autolaunch thing from the guide and then adding:
[core]
use-pixman=true
And it looks like removing "WAYLAND-DISPLAY=wayland-1" from the sh file has made it autolaunch now <:has_09_6_rinku_happy_D4:790297477202182155>
Now we are GAMING
I got fake touch working, but is there a way to have multiple inputs so I can use 2 fingers on the screen at once?
I don't think so because on gamescope unfortunately
ah, sad
