Wayland setup

Wayland setup

[Thorsten Wilms]

Hi!

Potentially switching distributions seemed like a good opportunity to 
try Wayland, especially since I'm playing with the idea of writing a 
schemey WM; doing so based on X11 seems like wasted effort at this point.

I would like to have a system with just a floating-window Wayland 
compositor installed (Weston?) and the least amount of Gnome and Xorg 
dependencies.

My understanding from the documentation is that the default login 
manager Slim doesn't deal with Wayland. The only alternative seems to be 
sddm. %desktop-services would bring in Slim, AFAICS, so I tried to do 
without and list things explicitly.

Surprised to see Wayland handled via xorg service, _trying_ to make 
sense of the documentation, I ended up with
(service xorg-service-type (sddm-configuration (display-server 
"wayland")), but commented it out to get beyond yet another error 
message on the way.

Actually, I would be OK with logging in on a VT and type whatever the 
Wayland equivalent of startx might be.

What's behind (banana-service) vs (service banana-service-type)? Maybe 
I'm a bad reader, but the documentation left me guessing / piecing it 
from examples, which form to use, except that the later seems to allow 
configuration?

I'm also a bit on a loss on what I actually need regarding networking 
services. During installation, "ifconfig enp5s2 up; dhclient -v enp5s2" 
was sufficient. No Wifi here, just one wrong device enp2s0 to avoid.

My attempt:

(use-modules (gnu)
              (gnu packages freedesktop) ; guix suggested this one
              (gnu system nss)
              (gnu services networking))
(use-service-modules admin avahi base dbus desktop mcron networking sddm 
ssh xorg) ; desktop was suggested for elogind
(use-package-modules base idutils bootloaders certs ntp)

(operating-system
   ...
   (packages (cons* wayland
                    weston
                    nss-certs ;for HTTPS access
                    %base-packages))

   (services (cons* ;(colord-service) missing the right service module
                    (elogind-service)
                    (dbus-service)
                    (polkit-service)
                    (service mcron-service-type)
                    (service network-manager-service-type)
                    (service rottlog-service-type)
                    (sddm-service)
                    (service wpa-supplicant-service-type)
                    ;(service xorg-service-type (sddm-configuration 
(display-server "wayland")))
                    %base-services)))

   ;; Allow resolution of '.local' host names with mDNS.
   ;(name-service-switch %mdns-host-lookup-nss))


I was dismayed to see lots of Xorg stuff scroll by and ending up with 
5,6G on the second generation, before even installing any applications.

If one should do a guix pull before init, 
https://www.gnu.org/software/guix/manual/html_node/Proceeding-with-the-Installation.html#Proceeding-with-the-Installation 
should say so. I only recalled having seen that somewhere else, afterwards!

Hello,

just a tiny piece of answer, which does not handle your main question:

In that case, I would simply use
                     (dhcp-client-service)
instead of the two lines above.

There is a Gnome Display Manager (GDM) service [1], which should be capable
of Wayland, but it requires a work on.

Both of them allow configuration.  The ‘(*-service)’ calls ‘(service
*-service-type)’.  For example, ‘(gdm-service)’ from [1] does this.

Last developed services provides only ‘(service *-service-type)’.

‘%desktop-services’ from a desktop template [2] provides a
‘network-manager-service-type’ which should setup a network according to
DHCP server.  Another approach is ‘dhcp-client-service’.

No ‘guix pull’ recommended before ‘guix init’ in the manual.  ‘guix
init’ was tested much more on a Guix release version (without ‘pull’).

I recommend to start with an example template like [2] or with a
smallest configuration as possible.

Re: Wayland setup

[Thorsten Wilms]

Hi!

Thank you, Andreas and Oleg.


Aside of additional services, this seems to be the way to get Weston 
with a minimum of stuff installed:

---

(use-modules (gnu)
              (gnu packages freedesktop) ; for wayland
              (gnu packages xorg)) ; for xorg-server-xwayland
(use-service-modules networking)

(operating-system
   ...

   ;; Trying weston-launch as plain user: got told to either run it from
   ;; an active and local (systemd) session, or add the user to  weston-
   ;; launch. weston-launch needs to be created, first:
   (groups (cons (user-group (system? #t) (name "weston-launch"))
                 %base-groups))

   (users (cons (user-account
                 (name "thorwil")
                 (group "users")
                 (supplementary-groups '("audio"
                                         "netdev"
                                         "video"
                                         "weston-launch"
                                         "wheel"))
                 (home-directory "/home/thorwil"))
                %base-user-accounts))

   ;; Globally-installed packages.
   (packages (cons* xorg-server-xwayland wayland weston %base-packages))

   ;; Add service to the baseline
   (services (cons* (console-keymap-service "de-latin1-nodeadkeys")
                    (dhcp-client-service)
                    (simple-service 'etc-additions
                                    etc-service-type
                                    (list `("inputrc" ,(plain-file 
"inputrc" "set bell-style none"))))
                    (gpm-service) ; mouse on the console
                    %base-services)))

---

 From my reading, the command to launch Weston outside of an X session 
is weston-launch. The first attempt led to a message about the 
"weston-launch" group. It would have been nice to have that taken care 
of automatically, though I don't see how that could happen in harmony 
with hand-edited configuration.

The next error: XDG_RUNTIME_DIR not set. 
https://wayland.freedesktop.org/building.html offers this script, which 
I used:

if test -z "${XDG_RUNTIME_DIR}"; then
     export XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=/tmp/${UID}-runtime-dir
     if ! test -d "${XDG_RUNTIME_DIR}"; then
         mkdir "${XDG_RUNTIME_DIR}"
         chmod 0700 "${XDG_RUNTIME_DIR}"
     fi
fi

So now "weston-launch" will lead to no (obvious) effect, except printing 
this one mangled line:
"t it.org/wiki/Specifications/basedir-specis not 
set.n2-weston-3.0.0/bin/weston 2t=weston&version=3.0.0"

Specifying a TTY like "weston-launch -t 2" makes no difference, except 
for "7", in which case the whole system becomes unresponsive after an 
Alt-F7.

I tried with and without this ~/.config/weston.ini:
---
[core]
xwayland=true

[keyboard]
keymap_layout=de-latin1-nodeadkeys

[output]
name=WL1
mode=2560x1600
---

Any ideas? Success stories with any other Wayland compositor outside of 
Gnome?

Re: Wayland setup

[Thorsten Wilms]

On rereading Weston documentation, I noticed that weston-launch should 
be setuid. As that hasn't been taken care of, I added to my configuration:

;; weston-launch needs to be setuid:
(setuid-programs (cons #~(string-append #$weston "/bin/weston-launch")
                        %setuid-programs))

Before: `which weston-launch`
=> /run/current-system/profile/bin/weston-launch

Aftwerwards `which weston-launch`
=> /run/setuid-programs/


It makes no difference, though. Still just:
"t it.org/wiki/Specifications/basedir-specis not 
set.n2-weston-3.0.0/bin/weston 2t=weston&version=3.0.0"
but nothing I could find below /var/log, nothing suspicious in dmesg.

Suggestions on how to get at least a sensible error out of it?

This still looks like that the XDG_RUNTIME_DIR setting is not correct in
weston-launch.
Could you possibly strace if it tries to open your XDG_RUNTIME_DIR
directory?
By the way, the mangled line you get  is the XDG_RUNTIME_DIR error, and the
wayland
bug report address. I don't know yet what to make out of that...

I found out that the script
---
#! /bin/sh

if test -z "${XDG_RUNTIME_DIR}"; then
     export XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=/tmp/${UID}-runtime-dir
     if ! test -d "${XDG_RUNTIME_DIR}"; then
         mkdir "${XDG_RUNTIME_DIR}"
         chmod 0700 "${XDG_RUNTIME_DIR}"
     fi
fi

doesn't work. Are there bashisms in it? I wanted to make it `#! 
/bin/bash`, but the shell claimed that being unknown.

I *thought* I checked with `echo $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR` before and the clear 
error message about it did go away, but when I set XDG_RUNTIME_DIR 
manually and confirmed its existence and mode today, suddenly I got, 
with weston-launch NOT in setuid:

Attached (hope it works on this list).
`strace weston-launch &> starce_weston-launch.txt` does not contain 
"tmp", "runtime" or "XDG", but:
"Error opening device /dev/input/eventX: Permission denied" for X in [0-9].

Guess I have to doublecheck that setuid thing now.

Of course it doesn't work, since it runs in its own shell and export 
takes care of children, not parents, sheesh!

I have been pasting the export/mkdir/chmod into the console, instead.

So what's the canonical way to add that to ~/.bash_profile or ~/.bashrc, 
if that seems more appropriate? Or how else to meat those preconditions 
for weston-launch?


Adding my user to the already existing "input" group got rid of "Error 
opening device /dev/input/eventX: Permission denied".

strace revealed another error, "de-latin1-nodeadkeys" in weston.ini 
couldn't be found, going with just "de" causes silence on that front.

Much of the (attached) strace output suggests things go their way, but then:

Actually it does not hurt if you add this code both to .bash_profile and to
.bashrc. On most systems one of the startup files sources the other, so
you can add it to only the sourced one.

Re: Wayland setup

[Thorsten Wilms]

Hi!

I finally got Weston to ... fill my screen with a blocky mess and flood 
STDERR with failure.

To recap:
- use-modules freedesktop and xorg
- global packages: xorg-server-xwayland wayland weston %base-packages
- add "weston-launch" group
- add user to weston-launch
- add user to "input" group
- take care of XDG_RUNTIME_DIR:

   export XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=/tmp/${UID}-runtime-dir;
   mkdir "${XDG_RUNTIME_DIR}"
   chmod 0700 "${XDG_RUNTIME_DIR}

I might just add that to .bash_profile or try to put both that and 
"weston-launch" in a script; rekado suggested this should be a service, 
but the documentation and examples (mainly looking at 
gnu/services/base.scm) leave me puzzled.

Though now I wonder, what would elogind do, if I had it installed?


The running Weston fills the log with repetitions of:

---
radeon: Failed to allocate a buffer:
radeon:    size      : 1048576 bytes
radeon:    alignment : 4096 bytes
radeon:    domains   : 2
radeon:    flags     : 4
---

with a few interspersed:
   [17:53:53.145] queueing pageflip failed: Invalid argument
and
   EE r600_texture.c:1419 r600_texture_transfer_map - failed to create 
temporary texture to hold untiled copy

Meanwhile, weston-launch brings up a functional session on my Ubuntu 
17.04; it doesn't seem to be a general problem with my graphics card.

Thanks a lot for sharing these forays into Guix' uncharted waters :-)

This looks like a driver problem.  Can you post the output of
"dmesg | grep -w 'drm|r600|radeon'" ?

I seem to recall that hardware acceleration on radeon/amdgpu requires
proprietary microcode, even when using the free driver.  Maybe that is
related?

Right, thank you!

comparing `dmesg | grep -w 'drm\|r600\|radeo'` from both systems made 
this stand out:
---
radeon 0000:01:00.0: Direct firmware load for /*(DEBLOBBED)*/ failed 
with error -2
[drm:rv770_init [radeon]] *ERROR* Failed to load firmware!
---

Guess I have to research how to put that back in now, as my level of 
idealism doesn't cover basic functionality falling flat. I understand 
the issues with binary blobs, but from a right-here, right-now 
perspective, what you do here is to cripple a driver (one among many, I 
assume) and let it be a surprise for users if things go belly up.

Adding elogind to the mix automatically takes care of XDG_RUNTIME_DIR 
and makes adding the user to "weston-launch" and "input" groups unnecessary.

Forgotten in my earlier list and still necessary: adding weston-launch 
to setuid-programs.

That makes it:
- add to use-modules: freedesktop xorg
- add to use-service-modules: desktop
- add to global packages: xorg-server-xwayland wayland weston
- add to services: elogind
- (setuid-programs (cons #~(string-append #$weston "/bin/weston-launch")
                          %setuid-programs))
