where did you find the Waydroid 1.6.0? I’m running Waydroid 1.5.4 on Mobian. Curious about 1.6.0.

Interesting! I’m running mobian forky, and it only has the 1.5.4 ?! wow, the Crimson has a more recent version of waydroid now then even the testing release of mobian?!

Good to know!

Update to my waydroid setup on byzantium:

  • Up to date byzantium
  • Last waydroid package (1.6.1) from upstream’s bullseye repo: Index of /dists/bullseye
  • No other external packages

With latest byzantium kernel (6.6.119pureos1~byz1) waydroid didn’t start anymore. I had these errors in the system logs:

I guess there is an apparmor profile to update, but I’m not at ease with that. So I downgraded the /usr/bin/lxc-start profile to complain mode instead of enforce (see AppArmor - Ubuntu Server documentation ):

$ sudo aa-complain /usr/bin/lxc-start

This command above requires the apparmor-utils package.

EDIT: There are up-to-date (1.6.1) waydroid packages for crimson and byzantium in the Purism’s Gitlab repo Librem5 / debs / waydroid · GitLab . But you have to dig into the CI artifacts to find them. Look for artifacts from the last package-pureos:arm64 job for pureos/byzantium or pureos/crimson depending on your OS release.

EDIT2: With kernel 6.6.119pureos1~byz2 nore more need to tweak the apparmor profile.
