I thought I would try wayland since it seems to be gaining popularity. On X I use openbox so I am trying to use waybox to manage the display.

I have used all the default configuration files with the wallpaper supplied by swaybg.

So far I have the display loading with the wallpaper, a waybar across the top and a cursor moving around the screen.

If I now try to do anything on the display, nothing seems to work until I get a segfault with a garbled error message:

$DBUS_LAUNCH /usr/lib/waybox --startup "${WB_AUTOSTART:-true}:${WB_AUTOSTART:-true}" "$@"_vice list.OC error:in egl_

the last part being in red.

I don't know what to look for to move forward.

Sorry if this is a stupid question.
