Package: weston
Version: 9.0.0-4
Severity: normal
Dear Debian folks,
Installing a minimal Debian system, then installing Weston with `sudo
apt install weston`, then trying to start it, it fails to start (even
with the user added to the group `weston-launch`, Weston fails to start
and shows the error below.
fatal: environment variable XDG_RUNTIME_DIR is not set.
Refer to your distribution on how to get it, or
http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Specifications/basedir-spec
on how to implement it.
the error below is shown.
`systemd-logind.service` is running, but `loginctl list-sessions` does
not show anything.
Installing `libpam-systemd` gets that working.
Kind regards,
Paul

Setting the $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR environment variable in ~/.profile or
~/.bash_profile fixes this error.
The Gentoo wiki has an example: https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Weston#Usage
XDG_RUNTIME_DIR is normally defined in
/etc/X11/Xsession.d/20dbus_xdg-runtime.
I assume Xsession* is only for X and not for Weston/Wayland?

Control: tag -1 wontfix
As explained in the linked upstream bug, this is expected
and marked as "won't fix".
