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.

I installed with zypper and ignored the dependency, i also found qxcompositor on chum afterwards and then i installed noson and it runs, so it seems to work

Try running `pkcon refresh` as root. If it still doesn't work, try installing from the command line with `pkcon install newcompositor`.

I'm sorry i have difficulties installing it. I installed qtrunner on chum, but here it says there's a qt package missing. Do i have to set an environment variable for this?
