@saveurlinux Yes, a number of times. After the latest try, I get the following:

@globetrotterdk I have same phone as you and waydroid install throw WayDroid Helper. It works fine on my phone, except banking apps.
Trying to launch throw the command line

sudo waydroid session start

raise the same error as you,
but launching it throw the WayDroid Helper works

saveurlinux

@saveurlinux I think, you should try to launch it with sudo but as:

waydroid session start

and in an other tab launch

waydroid show-full-ui

other command line are available look at

waydroid help

globetrotterdk

@saveurlinux
1st. shell:

$ adb shell
phablet@ubuntu-phablet:~$ sudo waydroid session start
[sudo] password for phablet: 
[21:11:07] ERROR: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NotSupported: Unable to autolaunch a dbus-daemon without a $DISPLAY for X11
[21:11:07] See also: <https://github.com/waydroid>
Run 'waydroid log' for details.

2nd. shell:

$ adb shell
phablet@ubuntu-phablet:~$ sudo waydroid show-full-ui
[sudo] password for phablet: 
[21:12:19] Starting waydroid session
[21:12:19] ERROR: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NotSupported: Unable to autolaunch a dbus-daemon without a $DISPLAY for X11
[21:12:19] See also: <https://github.com/waydroid>
Run 'waydroid log' for details.

Looks to me like a DBus issue, but I will take a look at waydroid help tomorrow and see if I can get something out of that. At this point, not holding out much hope however, as my experience is that when you cut out the gui and just using the cli, there is a better chance of understanding what is going on. While the errors are fairly verbose, the result isn't ringing any bells.

saveurlinux

@globetrotterdk have you tried without sudo ?

globetrotterdk

@saveurlinux The Waydroid icon appears, but no active window, and when I try to swipe from the right, the system tells me that there are no apps running.

Here is the cli output from the same session:

$ adb shell
phablet@ubuntu-phablet:~$ waydroid session start

@globetrotterdk maybe that's because you are doing it from adb and WAYLAND_DISPLAY is not available ? Try to do it from the phone terminal

When the command

waydroid session start

succeed , you can open a new tab into the terminal phone app and then do this next one:

waydroid show-full-ui

globetrotterdk

@saveurlinux Unfortunately, no such luck. I get a few of the same lines and then the process refuses to go any further:

$ waydroid session start
[07:49:53] Failed to start Clipboard manager service, check logs
[gbinder] Service manager /dev/anbox-binder has appeared
[07:50:19] Android with user 0 is ready
^C

arubislander

@globetrotterdk The last line says it is ready, maybe it doesn't go any further until you follow with what @saveurlinux suggests?

globetrotterdk

@arubislander Cool. That works. I was able to go in and get the Waydroid instance certified (through the adb shell) by following the Waydroid instructions and getting the android id.

Unfortunately, after using Wayroid stop and rebooting the phone, the system freezes at the Google splash screen.

A restart is possible, and I am able to get into Waydroid again by using the app tray.

globetrotterdk

Thanks to everyone for all of the help and feedback!
