Waydroid crashes in Desktop Mode over HDMI
-
@wynn1212 :
Show tapsis disabled in my Developer options. When enabling it, Waydroid and eventually whole Lomiri crashes. After that even touch inputs (without external display) don't work anymore, Waydroid instantly crashes. To disable it again (i'm glad this was possible, cause Waydroid remains unusable withShow tapsenabled) i had to do aadb shell settings put system show_touches 0in Terminal. When using a bluetooth mouse without external display Waydroid crashes, too.Is it possible to downgrade Lineage images without data loss? I can try if this fixes the problem for now.
-
Ok, i have tried for myself and downgraded the images. Waydroid doesn't crash anymore. This isn't really a solution, but fixes the problem for now. Thank you very much.
Btw. with the newer images Avast finds malware in htmlviewer. Maybe this is false positive, i don't know. This is no problem with the old 20250426 image, cause htmlviewer isn't even installed.

You can try to file this issue to developer, but not sure which one to report? Waydroid, UT, or both?

Maybe report to Waydroid on UT first, since the problem seems to be related on Ubuntu Touch system (or lomiri desktop). Does not happened on other distro for phone like Droidian (phosh desktop) or other distro like Ubuntu (GNOME desktop)
Desktop distro like Ubuntu(not lomiri), Fedora, Arch, etc... are not tested yet because I didn't install Waydroid on those system.EDIT: Tested on my Surface Go 3 running Ubuntu Lomiri 24.04 LTS. After installed latest Waydroid image. It crashed when moving mouse cursor over to Waydroid window on Lomiri as expected. But if I install
ubuntu-desktop(The vanilla Ubuntu desktop which use GNOME) on the same Surface Go 3 and switch to GNOME, Waydroid works perfectly without crashing while moving mouse cursor on Waydroid window. (Thought taps not showing when touch for some reason despite "Show Taps" has been enabled on developer menu, maybe it's GNOME side minor issue?) So the problem seems to be on Lomiri side. -
@wynn1212 Sorry, but i have no gitlab account. I had one, but removed it because i haven't used it for quite a while.
-
@bbiw Oof, you shouldn't have removed it. I heard that you'll need to input a credit card or something before you can create an account now.
-
@kugiigi I think i've logged into gitlab via my github account. Why shouldn't this be simply possible in the future? Maybe you're right, i don't know. Another reason for me to remove the account was that i have so many accounts on the internet and don't want to lose overview. Perhaps I will try to open one again.

Done. I’ve filed a bug report on GitLab. Hopefully, the developers will see it and provide a fix.

@wynn1212 You're the best
. TBH i was hoping you would do it, because you faced the same problem. Maybe there will be a real solution soon

OK, found the solution on 'WayDroid on Ubuntu Touch' Telegram group channel
Thanks "aleasto" for sharing this solution.- Start WayDroid session (by either taping "WayDroid" in launcher or
waydroid session startin terminal) - When WayDroid session loads, open Terminal on Ubuntu Touch
- Run the following commands (I think the first prop should be fine, but just in case, I set those 2 props)
$ waydroid prop set persist.waydroid.cursor_on_subsurface true $ waydroid prop set persist.waydroid.cursor_force_shm true- Restart the WayDroid session to apply prop changes. (By either tapping "Waydroid Stop" then "Waydroid" in launcher or
waydroid session stopthenwaydroid session startin terminal)
And from now, hovering mouse cursor to Waydroid window will no longer crashes the Waydroid window.
And enablingShow tapson developer options no longer crashes Waydroid window but the taps no longer shows when touches. - Start WayDroid session (by either taping "WayDroid" in launcher or
