Dear All, I have a requirement to start the weston 1.8.0 with non-root user. I tried it starting weston using following commands in systemd unit file with "root" user (first to verify if all commands works) . However with this it shows service status as "dead". Later intension is to start with some user. e.g User=display
Could you please give some pointer what might be going wrong here? How to start weston correctly without root user? My target is based on systemd but it is not running "systemd-logind" ExecStartPre=/bin/mkdir -p /var/run/root/1000 ExecStartPre=/bin/chmod 0700 /var/run/root/1000 ExecStart=/usr/bin/openvt -c 1 /usr/bin/weston-launch -- --idle-time=0 --device=/dev/fb1 --backend=fbdev-backend.so --use-gal2d=0 --use-gl=1 --log=/tmp/weston.log root@a1linux:~# systemctl status weston -l weston.service - weston (wayland compositor) Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/weston.service; static) Active: inactive (dead) since Thu 1970-01-01 00:00:02 UTC; 45 years 9 months ago Process: 242 ExecStart=/usr/bin/openvt -c 1 /usr/bin/weston-launch -u root -- --device=/dev/fb1 --backend=fbdev-backend.so --use-gal2d=0 --use-gl=1 --log=/tmp/weston.log (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS) Process: 224 ExecStartPre=/bin/chmod 0700 /var/run/root/1000 (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS) Process: 160 ExecStartPre=/bin/mkdir -p /var/run/root/1000 (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS) Main PID: 242 (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS) root@a1linux:~# However when I start weston using one of following command it works fine. 1. Inside weston.service ExecStart=/usr/bin/weston --tty=1 --device=/dev/fb1 --backend=fbdev-backend.so --use-gal2d=0 --use-gl=1 --log=/tmp/weston.log or 2. Manually running commands on terminal (teraterm) #export XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=/var/run/root/1000 #openvt -c 1 /usr/bin/weston-launch -- --device=/dev/fb1 --backend=fbdev-backend.so --use-gal2d=0 --use-gl=1 --log=/tmp/weston.log - However in this case I can see weston is running but no GUI on display also could not locate any error in weston.log. What might be going wrong here?
