Unable to create wlroots backend

[emersion]

If WAYLAND_DISPLAY is set, wlroots will select the Wayland backend instead of DRM (so it will try to connect to a parent Wayland compositor and run cage in a nested window).

Note that it's not possible to start cage with the DRM backend when another compositor is running. You need to start from a TTY.

Thanks for the speedy reply! I'm indeed running from a TTY, but even without the WAYLAND_DISPLAY environment variable I'm still getting an error, although a different one:

If it's at all possible to avoid Xwayland, that would be even better

[emersion]

"Unable to open Wayland socket: Invalid argument": this message is triggered by a misconfigured XDG_RUNTIME_DIR (probably cage cannot create a file in that dir).

I did run it previously with XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=/run/user/1000 but recall getting a similar error. I'll let you know when I'm back at my computer

Hi sorry for the non-response. I can confirm I get the same error

I am getting the same error and haven't quite figured it out yet. I have used cage on other systems just not my current pure Arch build so frankly, I assume I'm missing something somewhere.
