 Posted: Sun Sep 17, 2023 4:57 pm Post subject: What's the right way to launch wayfire/wayfire-session? |
 |
|
First of all, I am sorry that the question won't be that clear/sufficiently specific.
I am using a working Gentoo system with systemd + gnome3 for now. I would like to transition to wayfire. This is the documentation I mechanically followed:
https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Wayfire
I think the way I start wayfire might be wrong.
What desktop environment should I use? At least, it doesn't look like gnome3. However, it looked like I might need something beyond the compositor, wayfire.
In general, I am not self-confident that I know how to launch wayfire: e.g. is it running wayfire-session from the non-GUI terminal that I get after disabling gdm
and reboot? Where should I start?
Here is what I got:
I tried to run wayfire from the non-GUI terminal that I got after disabling gdm and rebooting:
- Disable gdm with systemd and reboot
- Log in through the terminal
- Run wayfire and/or wayfire-session
For a while, I see the mouse cursor moving on the black background. Then, I see some background features, some status bars with ethernet icon, etc, on the top.
However, I do not see the mouth pointer any more. Among all the shortcuts, the shortcut that opens Google Chrome works; and none of others appears to work.
At the moment, I am not sure which log files I should look into.
It looks to me that there are some necessary components that are missing at runtime. I've seen that the Gentoo Wiki page seems to say:

Wayfire is only a wayland compositor and does not provide the full capabilities expected from a desktop environment.
It is best used alongside gui-apps/wf-shell, which adds among other features a GTK3-based status bar and wallpaper support.

Just like `compiz` was running on `gnome2`, I guessed, `wayfire` may run on some desktop environment that is not `gnome3`. `wf-shell` doesn't sound like a desktop environment like `KDE` or `Gnome`. I did `equery belongs wf-shell`.
Here are the list of executable files:
| Code: |
# equery files wf-shell
* Searching for wf-shell ...
* Contents of gui-apps/wf-shell-0.7.0-r1:
/usr
/usr/bin
/usr/bin/wf-background
/usr/bin/wf-dock
/usr/bin/wf-panel

It did not look like a replacement of gnome or KDE. I did the following to directly run wayfire:
Here's my emerge --info:
