Trying weston with the official ppa but don't get the lightdm greeting

[Nicolas Michel]

I followed the instructions here :
https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/%2Bspec/desktop-q-system-compositor

But when I add to lightdm.conf the "type=weston", lightdm can't start anymore. The problems seems to be dbus related.

I don't think this is the appropriate way to report this bug. You've filed it against the weston package in the Ubuntu archives, which is not involved. Maybe contact the maintainers of the PPA, the Ubuntu Desktop Team?

Thanks for reporting this Nicolas, and thanks for testing the weston PPA.

There remains a number of development tasks for weston, however the blueprint has been postponed so I am not sure that it's still under development, and there may remain a number of rough edges like what you describe. I'd recommend holding off on reporting bugs about it to launchpad until the development has reached a finished state. If/when work gets under way next cycle, then contact the developers for assistance. Meanwhile, I'd suggest focusing on testing wayland/weston upstream using their installation scripts and processes, and provide feedback directly upstream.
