@socratis You don't seem to understand the whole Qt thing. Qt on linux isn't build for x or wayland. It can render on both for quite a while now. On most Qt apps i use i can just use an env var and make it render to whatever i want. Vbox isn't one of those apps and this is what i ask for. What is go...

I am asking for the UI. The window where you see logs,details of each machine and launch them.

The code is there. Vbox uses QT 5. Apps written in Qt5 work on wayland. So in theory Vbox -the UI- should work. Unless the UI uses X specific stuff on linux which will need to be replaced.

On wayland compositors Vbox uses xwayland even thought the UI is written with QT, a toolkit that its apps work on wayland.

Is there any work being done so it can run natively on wayland?? Any ETA???

I am on 6.0.4. Arch latest. The guest Arch where i test weston was working fine before i updated to the latest kernel and guest modules. And i cant downgrade.

Virtualbox (the interface on the host) runs as an xwayland app but that doesn't matter (even thougt i'd love it to run natively with Qt)

Arch guest and arch host. VMSVGA as the driver.

Weston used to work fine. Now it just doesn't render. However it falls back to console if you ctrl+alt+backspace (which probably means its not crashing.)

Anyone noticed the same. Or has a solution to it?

I understand, but I don't think Wayland can run at all without hardware acceleration, and the sort it needs is not currently available from VirtualBox. As I said, running it without hardware acceleration is something we can't help you with, you will need to talk to either the Wayland people or to t...

That is saying that it is failing because hardware acceleration is not available, and it requires it. As I said previously, !VirtualBox does not yet provide the hardware acceleration drivers needed by Wayland, and I can't even estimate when we will. You should talk to the Fedora and Wayland people ...

Still not working for me. I tried Fedora 21 (on an Arch host) and after i installed gnome-session-wayland-session it couldn't start the session. I was selecting gnome on wayland, logging in and after a blank screen it was throwing me back to the login page. No GA installed and no 3D acceleration ena...

Hello.

I would like to ask if it is possible to run Wayland compositor in Virtualbox. I tried running Enlightenment E19 and Weston on an Arch guest (Arch host also) with no success.

I use virtualbox 4.3.14.

Thanks in advance.
