Start Lomiri with Xephyr

shishimaru

Hi there, I have Debian inside a ChromeOS and I've installed Lomiri.

From what I understand, Xephyr is needed to start a GUI and indeed it works with Lxde and KDE Plasma.

I used this script:

Xephyr -br -fullscreen -resizeable :20 &
            sleep 5
            DISPLAY=:20 startlxde &
[empty_row_here]

And run it. It simply worked with Lxde and Plasma.

I wonder if it's possible to change this script to make Lomiri start.

I guess I might need to make it use Xwayland? And/or use the appropriate command where "startxlxde" is.

@shishimaru Lomiri runs on Mir as its Wayland compositor. Xephyr as I understand it is an X server. I doubt you can get Lomiri run on it. I'm sure it's technically possible but not easy. XWayland won't help since it's for running X apps on Wayland and not the other way around
