Hi
I have uploaded new RebeccaBlackOS Wayland Live CD ISOs named after my favorite
celebrity to SourceForge. By now they should be replicated throughout the
SourceForge mirrors.
They now have Wayland 1.5, and are based on Ubuntu 14.04 packages. The smaller
ISO without development headers and packages is called
RebeccaBlackLinux_i386.iso, while the larger one with headers is called
RebeccaBlackLinux_DevDbg_i386.iso
All the features including a direct startup to a Wayland server (weston),
Wayland enabled GTK, SDL, EFL, QT, and Kde Frameworks 5 applications, and a
graphical tool to configure multipointer Weston are in this ISO too.
Wayland environments include the default Weston shell, Orbital, Hawaii,
Gnome-Shell-Wayland, and Enlightenment, and swc. Gnome-Shell-Wayland,
Enlightenment, and swc do not work on VirtualBox.
I also enabled Weston's freerdp support in this ISO, and can easily be called
as the user with the command westonrdpcaller. The remote session is NOT
password protected.
Systemd v212 has also been switched as the default init system over upstart for
supporting Mutter-Wayland's ability to run as the user without the setuid binary
However, I had to manually import and tweak many init files from a
Fedora live CD, as systemd unit files are not packaged in with Ubuntu yet.
I tried to ensure that everything starts up the best I can, and I think
that most other software that I missed like apache uses sysvinit startup files
----
Some Problems and notes:
I have noticed on an older Intel, that there are some Mesa issues
however, so I added a fallback wsession that starts up weston with its pixman
renderer.

Enlightenment-Wayland is in early development. The screen size seems to
be currently hardcoded to 1920x1200. I recommend experimenting with the nested
version from the menu or the command
enlightenmentnestedcaller instead for now
Also, to support Enlightenment for now, the WaylandLoginManager
supports when the string wlminputinsecure is passed to the kernel command line,
which allows global access to all input device files.
It's passed when the live CD is started without a framebuffer option,
but when it's installed, you will have to pass wlminputsecure to the kernel
yourself.
Just a security notice in the rare case someone tries to start
a multi user live session...
In the swc session, if it starts all black, and just a cursor, it's
working. programs start with super+enter for the terminal and super+r for the
menu.
Please don't use this distribution in production environments
