Help with Waydroid. Showing black screen.

I followed the guide on the website, however, when I ran the command

/usr/bin/waydroid-launcher

/usr/bin/waydroid-launcher

for the first launch before configuring, I got a black window, with the following output:

+ source /etc/default/waydroid-launcher
++ WAYDROID_UNKNOWN_WIDTH=1920
++ WAYDROID_UNKNOWN_HEIGHT=1080
++ WAYDROID_GRALLOC=minigbm_gbm_mesa

++ pgrep surfaceflinger

with the:

++ pgrep surfaceflinger
+ '[' '' == '' ']'
+ sleep 1

++ pgrep surfaceflinger
+ '[' '' == '' ']'
+ sleep 1

going on forever. I've tried reinstalling like 3 times already, and have been getting the same problem.

Forgot to add. I'm using a laptop with AMD integrated graphics and an RTX 3060.

RTX3060

likely your issue, but I'm not 100% sure

I’ve tried setting it to use the amd card on configure, but it still does the same thing. I’ll try installing envy control and switching to integrated only. Yep! this was it. Disabling it via envycontrol works a charm for me!

Glad you figured it out. It is a shame that it doesn't work with Nvidia, guess it's just another thing to add to the list of Nvidia issues
