Xmir without Libertine

[ygrex]

Hi,

how to run Xmir properly without Libertine?

$ Xmir -debug -mirSocket /run/mir_socket -rootless -flatten -neverclose

ARM architecture: Defaulting to software mode because glamor is not stableotless 
XMir initialized with 4 visuals:
	Visual id 0x28: ff ff00 ff0000, 24 planes
	Visual id 0x29: ff ff00 ff0000, 24 planes
	Visual id 0x2a: ff ff00 ff0000, 32 planes
	Visual id 0x2b: ff ff00 ff0000, 32 planes
Realize ROOT window 0x5595c69400 id=0x268 "": 720x1560 +0+0 parent=(nil)
	depth=24 redir=0 type=0 class=1 visibility=3 viewable=1
	override=0 _NET_WM_WINDOW_TYPE=0()
	WM_TRANSIENT_FOR=(nil)
	WM_HINTS=<none>

this way it waits for connections, but when I run xeyes:

$ DISPLAY=:0 xeyes

Warning: locale not supported by C library, locale unchanged
XIO:  fatal IO error 2 (No such file or directory) on X server ":0"
      after 58 requests (58 known processed) with 10 events remaining.

Xmir fails:

Realize window 0x5595e427f0 id=0x20000a "xeyes": 150x100 +1+1 parent=0x5595c69400
	depth=24 redir=1 type=0 class=1 visibility=3 viewable=1
	override=0 _NET_WM_WINDOW_TYPE=0()
	WM_TRANSIENT_FOR=(nil)
	WM_HINTS={flags=0x27,input=True}
Aborted

desktop_file_hint did the trick, can be taken from the available ones if you do not care much:

Xmir -mirSocket "$XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/mir_socket" --desktop_file_hint=dialer-app -debug -rootless

also note mir_socket is from phablet run-directory

PS
it depends on application, but xeyes in particular is better without -rootless

You can add these in the desktop file.

X-Ubuntu-Touch=true
X-Ubuntu-XMir-Enable=true

Other libertine integrations most likely won't work though such as content hub and maybe keyboard too.

@kugiigi which desktop file? I literally run "Xmir" and "xeyes" binaries as shown

[kugiigi]

@ygrex Oh somehow, I assumed you're trying to do it for an app. Not sure how to do it via CLI.

was lucky to find the parameter on https://askubuntu.com/questions/760142/how-to-install-ubuntu-sdk-on-ubuntu-touch

for some reason Xmir -help does not show the parameter, neither it looks like anything important
