Chrome OS support #37

bpstrngr · 2023-11-26T21:53:35Z

trying to test this in a graphically rather limited wayland environment (chrome os), and i worked through a few errors to satisfy the gui dependencies, but libadwaita being a more complicated one, I'm just wishing for a way to opt out of building the gui and rely on the cli only:

is it already available just not mentioned in the readme?
Sorry if it could be determined with more familiarity with cargo toolchains.
Thanks!

Disabling individual features does not seem to be possible as of now:
rust-lang/cargo#3126

There is two Options:

either build with --no-default-features and add all the features manually:

cargo build --release --no-default-features --features wayland,x11,xdg_desktop_portal

or you could edit Cargo.toml and remove the feature from there:

lan-mouse/Cargo.toml

Line 52 in e88241e

"gtk",

If you could tell me what Distro you're using, I may be able to help you with getting libadwaita installed.

Sorry I overlooked chrome os.

feschber · 2023-12-01T11:06:47Z

Do you have an update on this?
I'm curious if chrome os works but I feel like they probably dont support the necessary wayland protocols or desktop portals.

I tried running in a Crostini container (with libadwaita-1-0 installed) and got this:

You are on a Chromebook as well?

jpeeler · 2023-12-15T20:35:56Z

Yeah (don't think Crostini exists anywhere else). I compiled the binary on a more powerful linux host and copied over the binary - I assume that doesn't matter.

feschber · 2023-12-15T20:48:31Z

Could you run wayland-info in that container and list the supported interfaces here?

For input capture either the wlr_layer_shell protocol would need to be implemented or libei support is required
and for input emulation the best bet is probably the remote desktop portal but I don't think that is available in chrome os either.

I would not get my hopes up too much that any of this works in Chrome OS unfortunately.

I don't really have my hopes up for ChromeOS. But I am interested in the rest of the operating systems, especially Linux+MacOS. If I can help debug integration any there let me know.

feschber · 2023-12-15T21:52:40Z

gtk_shell1 might be a valid fallback for layer_shell but at least zwp_keyboard_shortcuts_inhibit_manager_v1 would still be required to do anything useful.

If I can help debug integration any there let me know.

Will do :) Still in pretty early development.

bpstrngr · 2023-12-16T04:37:50Z

sorry i dropped out a bit, i layed off trying to control my chromebooks for a bit, but i'm still interested and will get back to testing.
Two things i'd note is i think building on another linux distro and copying the binary may not be indifferent (statically linked libraries missing or dynamic env assumptions differing). In my build attempts i was building on crostini directly, and running from there, but you could also be right @jpeeler .
Secondly, in chromeos, crostini is a virtual machine with a little more integration than usual which makes it a viable candidate, but there is also the host "crosh" (chromeos shell) system with more limited, but at least not virtual linux environment which i was also testing against.
I'll return to keep on testing, i just missed notifications of your engagement here, but i'm happy to see the support, thanks!

feschber · 2023-12-16T07:47:42Z

Cheers!
You could do one more thing: Try to run with XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP=KDE. That way we can tell whether or not the remote desktop portal is available.

At least rudimentary input capture should always be possible through an application window. I feel Iike input emulation might be the bigger problem

jpeeler · 2023-12-16T15:01:52Z

Is this what you were asking about, @feschber ?

I thought that the remote desktop portal was something to be installed. Surprisingly I do have xdg-desktop-portal-gtk and xdg-desktop-portal installed. Wondering if switching to the KDE version would be helpful, though when I set the current desktop to gnome I get the exact same output.

@bpstrngr I thought crosh was restricted to executing Chrome management utilities. You're saying there's a way to run scripts/binaries in that environment?

feschber · 2023-12-16T15:03:52Z

It must be capital KDE, what you want is the xdg-desktop-portal backend

@jpeeler you can try the latest main now. I added a fallback interface so it does not crash before we know whats going on.
XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP=KDE is not required anymore

Okay seems like the remote desktop portal is not available. XTest likely wont work either.

This Gtk-CRITICAL error is because I had used widgets from libadwaita-1.4 (accidentally). If you try the latest main, you may be able to get the gui to launch.

jpeeler · 2023-12-19T21:36:58Z

Yep, I was compiling against libadwaita-rs 0.5.2. The GUI does indeed launch, which is nice.

jpeeler · 2023-12-19T21:42:06Z

Something I just wondered - do you know of any necessary portal versions that are required to get things to work? This linux container I'm testing with is running Debian 12. The KDE portal is 5.27.5, which seems to be around 7 months old. But maybe everything that is required has been implemented for a while and the problem is more so on the ChromeOS wayland side.

feschber · 2023-12-19T22:02:54Z

For input emulation only the remote desktop portal is required. (org.freedesktop.portal.RemoteDesktop).
This has been around for a quite a while in xdg-desktop-portal-kde.

Do I understand correctly that you are running KDE on a Linux container in ChromeOS?

Can you check the output of qdbus?
It should list all of the available portals.

jpeeler · 2023-12-19T22:44:57Z

The xdg-desktop-portal package is 1.16.0, which is about 12 months old. And I realized that I only had the -gtk portal installed earlier. However, it doesn't change the result all that much.

I am not running KDE as a desktop environment on ChromeOS if that's what you're asking. But am using their packages to run various apps (such as VLC).

$ /usr/lib/qt6/bin/qdbus

I don't understand why the KDE portal is not listed though.

bpstrngr · 2023-12-24T15:46:55Z

found the time to test this too, starting from the point where you taught me how to opt out of libadwaita, i compiled with cargo build --release --no-default-features --features wayland in crostini.
inside crostini, it's the same result as for jpeeler,

$ LAN_MOUSE_LOG_LEVEL=debug XDG_SESSION_TYPE=wayland XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP=KDE RUST_BACKTRACE=1 ./target/release/lan-mouse
[2023-12-24T14:32:51Z INFO  lan_mouse::producer] XDG_SESSION_TYPE = wayland -> using wayland event producer
[2023-12-24T14:32:51Z ERROR lan_mouse] xdg_output not supported!

The thing i can add, for what it's worth, is what happens outside crostini, on the host chromeos shell:

$ LAN_MOUSE_LOG_LEVEL=debug XDG_SESSION_TYPE=wayland XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP=KDE ./lan-mouse
[2023-12-24T15:15:47Z ERROR lan_mouse::config] config.toml: No such file or directory (os error 2)
[2023-12-24T15:15:47Z WARN  lan_mouse::config] Continuing without config file ...

[2023-12-24T15:15:47Z ERROR lan_mouse] could not connect to wayland compositor: NoCompositor

or, when built with "x11,xdg_desktop_portal" features included:

./lan-mouse: error while loading shared libraries: libXtst.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

(been down the rabbit hole of building/copying such libs individually, in this case i assume the list would be long, so i just didn't include these features, X11 will certainly be ever foreign to the native chromeos shell).
And yes, @jpeeler official chromeos distributions lock the user out of the host shell, but "switching to dev mode", or chromium os builds, give access to it. it's a really minimal raspberry pi-like gentoo environment with not even portage being functional (although i commonly run nodejs/python there without any problems), so probably won't be easy to give any more diagnostics about the wayland environment.

bpstrngr · 2023-12-24T15:59:57Z

Oh, and mind you, i had to checkout the v0.3.3 tag, because on the latest main, and several commits back, cargo build --release on crostini has started failing with

ChromeOS would need to support either

virtual-pointer-unstable-v1 and virtual-keyboard-unstable-v1, which is very unlikely
The Remote Desktop Portal, which is probably the most likely to get implemented at some point.
Libei Support.
For input emulation
or the X Test extension for Xorg, which is also very unlikely because chromeos probably uses xwayland.

And either

Libei
or wlr-layer-shell
for input capture

Neither of which is very likely to happen anytime soon.

The error you are seeing is because xdg-output
is currently used to detect the dimensions of monitors attached to a PC. I can fallback to wl-output which must be supported by any wayland compositor.

That would lead to the next error though, which is that wlr-layer-shell is not supported.
For that I could craft another fallback to a simple xdg-toplevel (normal application window) that you would move the mouse into to control another PC. (not very elegant but a somewhat useful fallback).

So in short the options to get input capture working are:

Implement wl-output fallback for xdg-output
Implement xdg-toplevel fallback for wlr-layershell

For input emulation I have less hope other than chromeos supporting either xdg remote desktop or Libei at some point.

The other error you are seeing is very peculiar and seems to be an issue with cargo on chromeos.
You could comment out the "reis" dependency from Cargo.toml to work around it (its only needed for libei, which is not supported anyway).

With that the GUI should now launch as well.
