Weston ignores [output] mode in the weston.ini

Technical Support

I have weston.ini

[output]
name=HDMI-A-1
mode=800x600@60.3
[output]
name=DPI-1
mode=off
[core]
idle-time=0

[shell]
background-image=/home/torizon/wallpaper-logo.png
background-color=0x00000000
panel-position=none
locking=false
allow-zap=false
num-workspaces=1

and run weston with command

docker run -d --rm --name=weston-test --net=host --cap-add CAP_SYS_TTY_CONFIG -v /dev:/dev -v /tmp:/tmp -v /run/udev/:/run/udev/ -v /home/torizon/weston.ini:/etc/xdg/weston/weston.ini -v /home/torizon/wallpaper-logo.png:/home/torizon/wallpaper-logo.png --device-cgroup-rule='c 4:* rmw' --device-cgroup-rule='c 13:* rmw' --device-cgroup-rule='c 199:* rmw' --device-cgroup-rule='c 226:* rmw' torizon/weston:2

weston reads and sets background image, panel position, but not the resolution
if I run --developer variant then resolution is set

docker run -d  --rm --name=weston-test --net=host --cap-add CAP_SYS_TTY_CONFIG -v /dev:/dev -v /tmp:/tmp -v /run/udev/:/run/udev/ -v /home/torizon/weston.ini:/etc/xdg/weston-dev/weston.ini -v /home/torizon/wallpaper-logo.png:/home/torizon/wallpaper-logo.png --device-cgroup-rule='c 4:* rmw' --device-cgroup-rule='c 13:* rmw' --device-cgroup-rule='c 199:* rmw' --device-cgroup-rule='c 226:* rmw' torizon/weston:2  --developer weston-launch --tty=/dev/tty7 --user=torizon

weston.ini is the same, but the resolution is set in --developer mode and ignored without --developer

how to set the resolution in the non-developer mode?

Greetings @Juzujka,

I took your weston.ini and your docker run commands exactly as you provided them. When I ran it on my Apalis i.MX6 the HDMI resolution was changed for both docker run commands, with and without the --developer flag.

I guess that doesn’t really answer anything for you but I can assure it that at least the docker run commands and weston.ini are generally correct.

Is there any other containers running at the same time that might cause some weird conflict perhaps? Is there any additional information from looking and comparing the weston logs from each container?

Best Regards,
Jeremias

Yesterday I have reinstall recent Torizon image from Easy Installer.
It runs torizon_kiosk_1, weston and portainer.
I’ve stop kiosk and weston.
Then apply docker-composer with
weston - like this debian-docker-images/Dockerfile at buster · toradex/debian-docker-images · GitHub

but

ARG IMAGE_TAG=2
...
COPY wallpaper-logo.png /home/torizon/wallpaper-logo.png

(wallpaper works)

my application

Dockerfile like in the article Torizon Qt Creator https://developer.toradex.com/knowledge-base/torizon-qtcreator

but

ARG BASE_NAME=arm32v7-debian-qt5-wayland:2
FROM torizon/$BASE_NAME
...
RUN apt-get -y update && apt-get install...
...
qtwayland5 \
libqt5waylandclient5 \

COPY app_file /opt/app_dir/bin/
COPY translation.qm /opt/app_dir/bin/

docker-compose is like in the torizon-samples demonstration

before to run docker-compose up -d

And here is comparison of the weston logs:

there is no other containers besides portainer and weston

~$ docker ps --format "table {{.Image}}\t{{.Names}}\t{{.Status}}"
IMAGE                        NAMES                 STATUS

Alright I noticed in your logs without --devloper weston is being ran as /usr/bin/weston --current-mode. While in the logs with --developer it’s ran as Command line: /usr/bin/weston. According to the manpage --curent -mode, “By default, use the current video mode of all outputs, instead of switching to the monitor preferred mode.”

This may be affecting your monitor settings in your case. Please add weston-launch --tty=/dev/tty7 --user=torizon to the end of your docker run command without --developer. Otherwise weston will default launch with --current-mode. See if this helps your situation.

Best Regards,

Jeremias, thank you, weston-launch --tty=/dev/tty7 --user=torizon without --developer works!
