Please post the exact, full error message.
Yep, I'll post it soon, my machine ran too long today (work's stuffs), it's currently off.
Which version of Devuan is this?
Devuan 4 Chimaera.
Sorry, I thought after install gnome-session, I can launch gnome wayland session via tty, turn out I can't. feel free to suggest. Thanks.
So, I'm into wayland stuffs right now, I'm trying some wayland compositors and most of it are able to be started from tty (sway, plasma wayland, dwl, etc) except gnome. Actually I can start gnome wayland from tty but it's just the gnome-shell and not the entire gnome desktop. I follow arch wiki to start gnome wayland session but it doesn't work on devuan.
I tried to run this command :
XDG_SESSION_TYPE=wayland dbus-run-session gnome-session
and it doesn't bring me to the desktop and I got complain about Display (seem I need to give Display option), arch linux works fine with that command. Did it has something related to systemd's stuffs? One more, I can't find gnome wayland options from lightdm (I am not a fans of DM btw). Thanks
Oh, The Debian wiki is really clear. Thanks. Mark it as solved.
So I want to learn about Cross compiling on Devuan since I need to build Inkscape's Package for my old machine (32 bit), my host is Devuan Chimaera 64 bit (is it still testing?) and my target is Devuan Chimaera 32 bit. I am planning to use "sbuild". What kind of stuffs I need to prepare? I have the Inkscape's source from "apt source inkscape". P.S : I'm planning to do this, because I need to change 2 files on source code to suit what I need (screen / monitor stuffs). Thanks.
I'm sorry for too long on hanging this post. It kind of solved, I just need to export gnome desktop env value and launch metacity with gnlme-panel manually.
It's solved. Thanks everyone.
Sorry, I'll post the complete diagnosis later...
My custom .xinitrc entry is like this:
export XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP=GNOME-Flashback:GNOME
exec gnome-session --session=gnome-flashback-metacity
It works fine on my other machine.
I installed gnome-flashback and tried to launch it via custom .xinitrc and ended up with "Oh no! Something has gone wrong"'s greeting.
Tried with DM (lightDM / slim) still give same error. Gnome-shell, Gnome-session work fine. Oh I also dug into /var/log/messages and found log about gnome-flashback get segfault (I am not really sure what it means). I use devuan 32 bit. I have no issue with Devuan 64 bit. Any Advice? Thanks.
