newcompositor

Nesting Wayland compositor for Sailfish OS that attempts to transparently handle xdg_shell clients. Each client window gets its own window under Lipstick. It's almost as if newcompositor wasn't there.

How to use:

1. Enable the Chum repos: https://chumrpm.netlify.app/
2. Install newcompositor
   • Optionally install newcompositor-qt-runner-compat to use newcompositor to run applications packaged to run with qt-runner
3. Run:
   

   systemctl --user start newcompositor

4. Run applications with:
   

   WAYLAND_DISPLAY=newcompositor/wayland yourapp

   • Xwayland will be started if it is available. Run X applications with:
     

     DISPLAY=:0 yourapp

How to use within a container:

1. Add to your container config file:

   • lxc.mount.entry = /run/user/100000/newcompositor mnt/newcompositor none bind,ro,create=dir 0 0

2. Run your applications in the container with:

   QT_WAYLAND_FORCE_DPI=240 QT_QPA_PLATFORM=wayland-egl WAYLAND_DISPLAY=/mnt/newcompositor/wayland yourapp

   • The QT_* variables are optional but recommended for Qt apps.
