Waydroid template

Does network works in the Waydroid qube itself?
Open the terminal in the Waydroid qube and run these commands to check the connectivity:

curl https://debian.org
curl https://1.1.1.1

Can you get the web pages successfully using curl?

curl https://debian.org returns nothing.
curl https://1.1.1.1 returns a html code, which I assume confirms the qube has internet.

btw: I try to figure out how to copy/paste from xterm. Right click doesn’t work. ctrl+c/ctrl+v not works, and I dont see any menu in the top bar (like edit). I can copy with ctrl+insert and shift+insert, but can’t get it out of the terminal. The clipboard notifies me “0 bytes were copied to the global clipboard”.

Then network works in your qube.
Open the root terminal for your Waydroid qube and post the output of these commands:

journalctl -b -u waydroid-firewall
nft list ruleset

Press and hold Ctrl + Middle mouse click → “Select to clipboard”.

Internet seems to work now. I think I copy/pasted the firewall rules for 4.1. I’m not 100% sure, because I did all the steps over again and deleted the old template.

Also QubesOs and Waydroid is much faster now. I updated the kernel to the newest version, disabled Optimus, enabed Turboboost and disabled Speedstep.

This is a whole new experience now. I continue testing and playing with Waydroid, pretty sure I will have more questions. Thank you for now @apparatus

I noticed that internet works with default firewall, but not with sys-whonix. How to get Waydroid also work with sys-whonix? Do I need to allow TOR traffic in the waydroid-firewall.service? And how to do this?

It works for me with sys-whonix.
Check that network works in your Waydroid qube with sys-whonix net qube:

Also check this in the Waydroid:

Also note that UDP won’t work with Tor if you’re checking the connectivity in Waydroid in some app that is using UDP.

It seems I don’t have network connection at all with the sys-whonix NetVM. With the default (sys-firewall) it works. You say, UDP won’t work with TOR if a app is using UDP. Could you elaborate? So I assume I need to add some new rules to waydroid-firewall.service, to allow UDP traffic?

Check your tor service log in sys-whonix, you can click on the sdwdate-gui icon in system tray → sys-whonix → Tor control panel → Logs tab.
Maybe you’ll need to configure the bridge if Tor is blocked by your ISP.

Tor itself only support TCP protocol and can’t route UDP/ICMP and other protocols:

not working with me after create script

What’s not working?

upgrade command

Do you have any errors output when running waydroid-upgrade?

bash: waydroid-upgrade: command not found

Did you create waydroid-upgrade script?
There is a link in your quote with instructions on how to create it.

[quote=“apparatus, post:1, topic:23356”]

chmod +x /opt/bin/waydroid-upgrade

[/quote i used this

What’s the output of these commands in your Waydroid template?

cat /etc/profile.d/opt-bin.sh
echo $PATH

Did you restart the Waydroid template after setting it up before running waydroid-upgrade?

and I have another error, when starting sway on appVM based waydroid Template

Waydroid socet '/run/user/1000/wayland-0' doesn't exist; are you running Wayland compositor?

How do you start it?
