error weston-launch from virtual terminal

[Iqbal Inzamam]

I'm using Ubuntu 18.04. when i try weston-launch from virtual terminal with
no weston config file i get an error saying.
"failed to create input device option 'seat', udev device property ID_SEAT"
just running weston in normal terminal (within x11) works fine

please help me to run weston-launch.

Thanks.

Hi,

Ubuntu 18.04 is using systemd-logind. Why do want to use weston-launch
despite of that? Simply 'weston' should work on the virtual terminal as
well.

Your error message is garbled too. Please, redirect both stdout and
stderr to a file and inspect the file contents. Printing to the virtual
terminal stops working correctly as soon as Weston switches the TTY to
graphics mode.


Thanks,
