Before install Waydroid, make sure that your kernel supports binder and ashmem module (currently only linux-zen does)

Keep in mind that Waydroid only works with Wayland compositors. It also does not work yet with proprietary NVIDIA driver.

After install waydroid and waydroid-image, run this command to initialize the container:

# waydroid init

Then the container can be started via waydroid-container.service. The official project group/channel can be found on:

• Matrix: https://matrix.to/#/#waydroid:connolly.tech
• Telegram: https://t.me/waydroid

Is it possible to get support for coexistance of multiple "waydroid-image-*" packages somehow?

e.g.:

/usr/share/waydroid-extra/images/system.img exists in both 'waydroid-image' and 'waydroid-image-gapps'
/usr/share/waydroid-extra/images/vendor.img exists in both 'waydroid-image' and 'waydroid-image-gapps'

ui does not work for me could you please check https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=301559

distutils is deprecated with removal planned for Python 3.12.

Please make GTK optional, It's not needed for waydroid to operate.

Adding ibt=off to the vanilla kernel lowers security of your system. You have to switch to linux-zen which has dynamic support of IBT

I'm having the same issue as @sokol99.

I keep get this error while building and am stuck:

error: Could not read a41a171e4074cefa669654ded8002dc1206ab0d7

It's something in your installed packages, then. I was able to build libglibutil-1.0.76-1 -> libgbinder-1.1.38-1 -> python-gbinder-1.1.2-1 -> waydroid-1.4.2-1 using devtools and a custom repo to hold each successive dependency.

I'm also having this issue as of April 18th, 2024.
