OpenVT with WayVNC / existing Wayland session#

This setup should use the already-running sway/Wayland session instead of fake headless rendering.

What we found#

• sway is running
• a Wayland socket exists at /run/user/1000/wayland-1
• current shell is not inside that graphical environment by default
• wayvnc.service is currently inactive and had previously exited when the compositor went away

Launch strategy#

Run OpenVT inside the existing Wayland session environment:

devenv shell -- ./scripts/openvt-wayland-launch.sh

The launcher defaults to:

• XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=/run/user/$(id -u)
• WAYLAND_DISPLAY=wayland-1

Override if needed:

XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=/run/user/1000 WAYLAND_DISPLAY=wayland-1 devenv shell -- ./scripts/openvt-wayland-launch.sh

Notes#

• This is not true graphics-headless. It uses the existing remote Wayland desktop session.
• If OpenVT starts but a plugin complains, the remaining likely issue is the optional keylogger plugin.
• If the project window appears over WayVNC, we are on the right path.

Current addon state#

Built:

• addons/gd_cubism/bin/linux/x86_64/libgd_cubism.linux.debug.x86_64.so
• addons/gd_cubism/bin/linux/x86_64/libLive2DCubismCore.so
• addons/gd-virtualcamera/linux/libgd-virtualcamera.linux.template_debug.x86_64.so

Not fully built:

• addons/keylogger native library

That means global hotkeys may not work yet, but model rendering may still be usable.
