Wayland Live CD

[cecilpierce]

Keith I did apt-get install synaptic and then tried to install wings3d and got fix broken packages first but dont see any ?

Do you know how to fix it ?

[23dornot23d]

Go into Synaptic

edit - fix broken packages

I managed to get it running - also blender - so am pretty impressed now



The main things seem to run ok in it .... rednotebook - tomboy notes - GTG - firefox ( even with video and sound )

Need to know how they got Blender working - is it running in a X window - seems all pretty good on here.

Will be posting some problems too - as these willl obviously need fixing - but everything is pretty positive after a second install

as I messed up trying to add Gnome-Shell ...... seems that package does not want to work on raring-ringtail.

Will post some more screenshots ..... was wanting to post a video but the one built in seems not to be working now ..... does anyone know
the package name so I can reinstall it ?

Blender appears to be running as X on that screenshot.

In order to record video in Weston, you will have to press super+r to start, and then super+r to stop recording

and then you will have to click on the movie icon between the speaker and the lightbulb so that it converts captured video data into a .webm file in the root of your home directory?

That worked originally ..... press super + r

But no longer works - is there a package that can be reinstalled to get it working again - or is it compiled into
weston/wayland - its not a big problem can always use a camcorder to show how well its working now.

Just more convenient - if its a easy fix.

Hi. Sorry for the later reply, but early this morning I found out what the issue is. When I switched out the login manager, I didn't think to check the PWD. Anyway, instead of the PWD being the home directory, the PWD was the root directory. I pushed the fix to the SVN to change directories before starting weston.

[23dornot23d]

I did a reload of the system again the other day and found it was not working - glad you found the problem.

Am having odd problems with how the mouse works on certain menus ..... selecting to quit out of firefox using the mouse does
not work ......... but using the keyboard and going down with the arrow key then hitting return - does work.
Also selecting for cut and paste using the mouse seems to show up as selecting ok - but when pasting - the contents of the paste
are wrong.

Still setting it up but it looks very good and is very useable now ........ could almost work from it now - the window enlargement
can lag for some reason on big windows ...... can see the repaints not sure if that is a bug or not though.

Wings3d I have running in KDE ...... but it will not work in Wayland ........ does not seem to understand the display.

K3d surf does work ..... but again this may be running in a X window , its not easy to tell which windows are wayland and which are
X ......

Not missing too many packages now - for my own use of the desktop - but will let you know if I find anything else that is odd .........
oh the Firefox Window ...... resizes the opposite side to what I pick ...... say I pick the top of the window to resize it - the bottom moves
and in the opposite direction to the mouse movement.

time .....

Gnome-shell do not bother with - it does not install and messes everything up ........
do not do the update Rbos build ...... again messed everything up .........
Installing weston and qt5 again was a mistake too ...... so do not do that.

Have to change back to precise to get wings3d and k3dsurf ..... not pretty but it works.

Then come back to raring to do the rest of installs ....... thats about as far as I got
most things work ok .... just going to keep a record here incase I need to install again
for any reason .... 4 th install so far ......... and 2 of those now run - one with a login
and the other with the old login and the video capture now working.

But it seems not to capture the Qt Browser window for some reason .... maybe its a X window
need some way of identifying which are which windows for the video otherwise going to be
a lot of blank videos created trying things out.

Boy Keith I thought I was the only one haveing problems, every time I tried to install something went wrong, the worst part was my crapy left mouse button double clicks some time and the installer went from prepare disks to install without me knowing and wiped out my sda drive, glad I had an sdb...

[23dornot23d]

Wow you need a new mouse and fast .... could not be doing with that happening ..... my A drive is not something I would want to have to try to rebuild
its something I check and double check .... do not even let the grub go there ...... only use my B drive.

On one laptop the main drive is removed completely and I use USB drives which always then set themselves as sda ..... which is good for me.
Shame the backlight went on that computer though .... so I rely on a TV as a monitor .... but we get by ......

Yep nothing is ever as straightforward as it appears to be ....... and I have got used to installing and re-installing so its secone nature now.

Thing is - compared to the good old days ..... the install times are reasonably short now - with fewer questions ......

All gets better with time ..........

Dual Display ..... found out the recording is of the laptop display and not the TV ..... so we may be ok now ........ not sure if it
can be switched as the bigger screen is better for showing things .... more room to have a few windows open on .

Hope you have a good running version now Cecil ..... show us a screenshot sometime ..... if you can get it to work
that is the thing I had to do that last install for ...... messing with the camera in the dark is no good.

Will hopefully get some proper video tonight sometime and post it ...... depending on what shows up on it.

First attempt ... now I know what its doing .... just showing Blender so it does show the windows ok.

Looks like your doing great Keith, Im still fixing the mess I made with the two boot loaders both are burg not grub, I hate grub!

I might install another RBLos just incase I screw one up! I see over 4100 DL's wonder why none get on here ?

Did you say update-rbos trashed your os ? I was going to try it ? Maybe that was just for the old version ???
