Yeah, i tried also with taskmanager, which can lock orientation. Orientation is right, but only half display is used in landscape/inverted. One proportion is handled wrong in some place, i bet ot is a quirk in the official abandoned port...

I did a clean flash of SF, and went to re-install my Debian Sid container, but seems like some repo update broke xwayland build process, (or...?). What distros are you all using? Has anyone installed recently and gotten success?

I was able to get Devuan working, but had to install many deps manually...

I installed Kali through easy_pwn (https://github.com/r3vn/easy_pwn) a month or so ago and am using it frequently. I had to make a couple of tweaks to the scripts along the way (change nemo to defaultuser, trust the default kali repos so that PGP keys aren't validated, remove the nethunter packages) but it was quite straightforward.

Reason why I used easy_pwn is because my device (Xperia X) doesn't support LXC leaving a good old chroot as the only option. Giuseppe (r3vn) put a lot of work into it. Kali also ships with pretty UI theming haha. The rootfs is from February 2019 but apt-upgrading it all worked fine.

I set the fonts DPI to 200.

Oh and also the latest qxcompositor from openrepos crashes for me so it's portrait only. The other thing that doesn't work is starting it from the desktop icon so I'm running it from the terminal / qCommand.

Ok I don't know what I am doing wrong but I am unable to get harbour-container gui to work. I have installed qxcompositor from the following repo "https://repo.sailfishos.org/obs/home:/elros34:/sailfishapps/sailfishos_4.3.0.12/armv7hl/" and also put export $(dbus-launch) and export XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=/run/user/1001 in the linux container
But I have not been able to get a GUI. Any guidance would be appreciated.

When I run harbour-container it opens the gui containers app.

So I see the problem as being qxcompositor doesn't open a session. When I run the qxcompositor I get the error "Specified Desktop file does not exist "".

Did you use Containers app to create lxc with setup desktop button checked?
what command are you using for QXC?

See @edp17 examples here - https://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?...&postcount=198

is this the screen you get?
If so, it's good. It means QXC is running. Then you need to run your "start_desktop" file inside of attached container

I tried that before and it didn't work. But now it did, it is working.

Thanks, my bad.
