Waydroid glitching after installing libhoudini

Open brainwo opened this issue 1 year ago • 3 comments

I encounter this issue after installing libhoudini from waydroid_script, I didn't install anything prior to installing libhoudini alone. The Waydroid screen start glitching like a broken video card (image attached). I have yet find a solution to fix this after several attempts.

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Open Waydroid
  2. Run the command: 
    git clone https://github.com/casualsnek/waydroid_script
cd waydroid_script
python3 -m venv venv
venv/bin/pip install -r requirements.txt
sudo venv/bin/python3 main.py
  3. Pick to install libhoudini
  4. Wait until it prints the log: 
    [gbinder] WARNING: Service manager /dev/anbox-binder has died
[gbinder] Service manager /dev/anbox-binder has appeared
  5. App restarted by itself and start glitching

What I have tried so far:

  1. Uninstall libhoudini from waydroid_script
  2. Reinstall Waydroid from system package manager
  3. Clean all previous Waydroid data in following folders 
    /var/lib/waydroid 
home/.waydroid
~/waydroid
~/.share/waydroid
~/.local/share/waydroid
  4. Unregister the leftover binfmt for arm_exe, arm_dyn, arm64_exe, and arm64_dyn
  5. Restart the operating system
  6. Use another Wayland compositor
  7. Switch to software rendering following this guide

I'm not sure what happening, but after several attempts in installing and uninstalling libhoudini and restarting waydroid-container, it seems to fix the issue. And now Arm apps start appearing in Play Store. 😕

Update: turns out it has something to do with ro.hardware.egl. The Arch Linux Wiki guide is outdated or misguided, for an updated guide please refer to https://docs.waydro.id/faq/get-waydroid-to-work-through-a-vm.

Will reopen this issue, it seems like there is a part in the install libhoudini script that alter my device behavior. I don't remember turning on setting ro.hardware.egl to swiftshader previously and now I notice my Waydroid runs slower. Though, it could be something to do with the fact that I install my Waydroid a year ago.
