General tips

Waydroid is in rapid developement so if you face issues, here is a good list of steps to do first:

  1. Make sure your Waydroid package is up to date;

  2. Make sure you have the latest Waydroid image by running # waydroid upgrade;

  3. Reset Waydroid:

    • stop the waydroid-container.service # systemctl stop waydroid-container.service

    • cleanup sudo rm -rf /var/lib/waydroid /home/.waydroid ~/waydroid ~/.share/waydroid ~/.local/share/applications/*aydroid* ~/.local/share/waydroid

    • initialise # waydroid init -f or # waydroid init -f -i /usr/share/waydroid-extra/images

    • start the service again # systemctl start waydroid-container.service

Commands inside Waydroid shell outputs inaccessible or not found

On Arch based distributions there's a "bug" that may appear while working with lxc-attach that may cause this issue with commands inside waydroid shell like adbd or settings. A possible workaround for this would be replace the # waydroid shell command with # lxc-attach -P /var/lib/waydroid/lxc/ -n waydroid --clear-env.
