I tried using Waydroid on Linux Mint (Edge) only to have it not work and realized that it requires Wayland, and Mint uses X11. So I used VirtualBox to install Fedora 40 Gnome which does use Wayland.
I installed Waydroid as per the instructions and am having seemingly the same issue as on Mint. After downloading “Vanilla” Android and clicking “Done” everything exits out. So I launch the Waydroid application but nothing ever happens.
I then try to manually start Waydroid in terminal but always get “ERROR: WayDroid container service is already running”. Then I skip to the second step “waydroid session start” but receive “OSError: container failed to start”.
Am I doing something wrong? Is it simply because the VM is causing the issues? Or does WayDroid not work well on Fedora? Thanks
I thought about 21.3 but don’t want to use something experimental. What is Weston? It’s good to hear that it works on Mint
Weston is basically Wayland within an X11 app. You can run Wayland stuff with it but it’ll be constrained to that window.
I’ll check that out!
Check out the Waydroid script I posted, it’ll help you with figuring out how to run Wayland programs.
I will. Thank you very much
