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

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.

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.
