Am also having this issue with Alpine edge

[teppyboy]

Same here on Arch Linux, the log is the basically same except the target directory where tmpfs will be mounted:

lxc-start: waydroid: conf.c: mount_entry: 2397 No such file or directory - Failed to mount "tmpfs" on "/usr/lib/lxc/rootfs/mnt_extra"

This line said Waydroid failed to mount tmpfs to /usr/lib/lxc/rootfs/mnt_extra (which yours is /usr/lib/lxc/rootfs/tmp) I don't know much about Alpine Linux or how OpenRC works in general, but in my case (and after dug in Waydroid source code), I found that LXC can't mount the tmpfs to the container so Waydroid failed (the error occurred on this line) where Waydroid start the LXC container. I hope we can find a way to workaround this :P, and if the devs see this then I hope it'll be somewhat helpful to them too

Edit 1: LXC can actually mount the tmpfs but the image I'm using is from chaotic-aur so it's outdated and doesn't have the folder that Waydroid needed (/usr/lib/lxc/rootfs/mnt_extra is wrong, LXC is referring to /var/lib/waydroid/rootfs/mnt_extra), I'm trying the latest image from Waydroid directly now, will give more info when its done :p

Edit 2: Yes, installing the latest image actually fixed it for me

[miacate]

hm... edge should be fully up to date, perhaps some work with LXC needs to be done, I'll look around and see if I can fix things over on Alpine

if wayfire didn't set XDG_SESSION_TYPE (env to check) u can try to set it manually for current terminal session:

export XDG_SESSION_TYPE=wayland

@ThatGeekyWeeb I'm not an alpine user but u should try linux-lts. I don't see ashmem and binder modules in edge config

[sodomon2]

I have already tried with export XDG_SESSION_TYPE=wayland and XDG_SESSION_TYPE=wayland waydroid container start/session start

but I still get the error

[silyman1]

hi,do you solve this problem ? I have the same issue.

[sodomon2]

Oh, I tried version 1.3.1 and the problem seems to be solved.

so I proceed to close the issue
