wayvnc: ERRORS Failed to initialise wayland but nothing else
I use wayvnc on arch linux on tv box E900V22C(usb disk boot)(may not important) Whenever I use pacman -S version or manually build(i make all check to YES), it all shows
> wayvnc # pacman version
ERROR: ../wayvnc/src/main.c: 953: Failed to initialise wayland
#or manually build
> ./wayvnc/build/wayvnc 0.0.0.0.
ERROR: ../src/main.c: 1394: Failed to initialise wayland
It dont say anything else, even i use -L debug(?).
I installed all require lib in main readme page. So what’s wrong? I am missing lib or I don’t config my platform(arch linux arm, kernel 6.0.8, may look about ophub and unifreq (github user)(i a little know they make linux be able on amlogic arm box) ) well?
I follow guide in a issue and the blog mentioned in the issue to install the system on the usb disk.

OKOKOK im ok when i mkdir and
chmod 7777 -R /tmp/swayI see debug log it show perm problem.Right! You need Wayland up first before wayvnc can run. How you start sway (which starts Wayland for you) depends on what you’re trying to do:
If you are trying to run sway in “headless mode” where it only uses a virtual screen and wayvnc is the only way to access it, follow the instructions in the wayvnc FAQ.md
If you are trying to run sway on a physical output, do NOT set
DISPLAYat all, and just runsway. It should find the right physical output devices for you automatically. But consult the sway Manpage and other docs for that.After sway is running you can then start wayvnc:
If you have an open terminal inside sway, or set up wayvnc to run from your sway config file in a keybind or exec line, it will set
WAYLAND_DISPLAYfor you automatically.If you’re logged in over ssh,
WAYLAND_DISPLAYwill not be set, so you have to do it yourself.wayland-1is usually a good guess, orwayland-0if using an older sway.
