robertoj Posted October 1 Posted October 1 Has anyone here configured armbian with a Wayland desktop, and completely free of X11? How did you do it? I have compiled labwc and it works great with my orange pi zero 3, with bookworm or trixie... but I can't figure out how to configure a wayland greeter. I need to do this because my LCD driver can't work with X11 (panel-mipi-dbi-spi). 0 Quote
Solution robertoj Posted October 13 Author Solution Posted October 13 (edited) I got my issue resolved with labwc+greetd+nwg-hello See this link https://github.com/nwg-piotr/nwg-hello/issues/43 Please check it and post any corrections if needed Getting rpi-greeter (no python) and wf-panel-pi (combines panel and launcher in compact form) would be ideal, but not resolved yet. If anyone is interested in getting rpi-greeter working, this is my partial progress, and I still cannot make it start under lightdm, without any X11: sudo apt install lightdm accountsservice polkitd sudo apt install libgtk-layer-shell-dev librsvg2-common sudo apt install gnome-common gobject-introspection gir1.2-gtk-3.0 These might be needed. I installed them the day after I installed greetd and ngw-hello. Note: I am working from a minimal debian trixie image appmenu-gtk-module-common libaccountsservice-dev gir1.2-accountsservice-1.0 liblightdm-gobject-dev liblightdm-gobject-1-0 libgtk-3-dev gnome-common nasm ~$ mkdir rpi-greeter ; cd rpi-greeter wget https://github.com/raspberrypi-ui/pi-greeter/archive/refs/heads/master.zip unzip master.zip ; cd rpi-greeter-master autogen.sh ./configure make sudo make install Change /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf with: greeter-session=pi-greeter-labwc Test with: $ sudo lightdm --test-mode --debug or $ sudo systemctl start lightdm $ journalctl -b -u lightdm.service The error is: Oct 13 22:01:49 orangepizero3 lightdm[845]: Error updating user /org/freedesktop/Accounts/User1000: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.Accounts.Error.PermissionDenied: Not authorized: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name org.freedesktop.PolicyKit1 was not provided by any .service files DEBUG: Could not run plymouth --ping: Failed to execute child process ?plymouth? (No such file or directory) I think I am very close to getting rpi-greeter working. What could be missing? I see that in a raspberry pi, the folder /etc/xdg/labwc-greeter/ exists, with 3 files inside, but in armbian, it doesn't exist. Should it be created by sudo make install? sudo nano /var/log/lightdm/lightdm.log: Nothing weird. Only: [+0.07s] DEBUG: Session pid=6392: Running command /usr/bin/labwc -C /etc/xdg/labwc-greeter/ (and this folder /etc/xdg/labwc-greeter/ does not exist) In raspberry: /etc/xdg/labwc-greeter/ contains autostart, rc.xml and environment sudo nano /var/log/lightdm/seat0-greeter.log: ** (process:6392): WARNING **: 00:23:07.745: Failed to open CK session: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.E> 00:00:00.000 [ERROR] [../src/main.c:202] XDG_RUNTIME_DIR is unset The etc/xdg/labwc-greeter/autostart, etc files come from a package named raspberrypi-ui-mods (raspberry$ dpkg -S /etc/xdg/labwc-greeter/autostart) What part of https://github.com/raspberrypi-ui/raspberrypi-ui-mods would get my lightdm+labwc+rpigreeter working? Copying the /etc/xdg/labwc-greeter/ folder with the 3 files, with the same permissions, allow the pi-greeter to display (it is very plain), but after entering the password, the text mode display shows for 2 seconds, then the labwc black background and cursor shows for 1/4 second, then returns to the login screen. Found this error in the log: /etc/xdg/labwc-greeter//autostart: 2: /usr/bin/kanshi: not found Final part of solution: lightdm should contain: user-session=LXDE-pi-labwc Create file /usr/share/wayland-sessions/ LXDE-pi-labwc.desktop: [Desktop Entry] Type=Application Name=Labwc Desktop on Wayland Exec=/usr/bin/labwc rpi-greeter does not allow selection of other sessions: only labwc Edited October 17 by robertoj 0 Quote
