Answer 2 · 2024-06-19T09:48:19.000Z

same error, have you solved it?

Answer 3 · 2024-06-19T12:36:22.000Z

Looks

same error, but I'm on: xxx-neptune-65-gfc341bb964a8

That looks like a newish kernel. What SteamOS version are you on?

Answer 4 · 2024-06-19T13:59:22.000Z

I also have it, 3.6.5 @ryanrudolfoba

Answer 5 · 2024-06-19T14:19:08.000Z

The repo contains the binder kernel module upto SteamOS 3.6.3.

Newer SteamOS versions with newer kernels will not work at the moment until a new binder kernel module is built.

I'll build one soon.

new preview out

Answer 7 · 2024-07-02T11:22:06.000Z

while the autor of this script is on holidays you could let a script do the binder-module compilation (3.6.8 latest + 3.7 latest) and updating of your current install: https://github.com/slynobody/SteamOS-Waydroid-Installer

Answer 8 · 2024-07-02T13:01:18.000Z

That's awesome! While i have no way to test, quick glance of the commands looks good. Suggestion - use variables for the wget / pacman commands so we dont have to update the URL when a new header is out. Get Outlook for Android<https://aka.ms/AAb9ysg>

I recently updated my system to the 3.6 beta version. After following your steps to update, I was able to successfully use Waydroid again, but the app cannot access any network. I just kept pressing 'Y' (Yes) during the installation process and I am not sure what went wrong, but the Wi-Fi is completely broken.

try the main repo it should work now for 3.6.8.

you might need to uninstall first the fork repo.

Thank you for everything, but I would like to ask how to safely uninstall the fork repo? I don't want to lose my current Waydroid data.

Answer 12 · 2024-07-02T21:29:23.000Z

i added 'remove.sh' on my fork to remove a current installation (regardless of fork), current data will not be lost if stored in /home/deck/.local/share/waydroid/data. but to be sure you could backup this folder.

the network-issue seems to step in sometimes if you rerun the script (regardless of fork) but for me are not associated with the binder-module-issue discussed here.

after removal of current install just

run the fork-script to build the needed module, f.e. if you are on 3.7 (i can make a PR of it) or
run the script from here, f.e. if you are on 3.6.
if 3.6 gets the next update, i will update the fork-script timely to let you compile the next 3.6-module on demand (and / or do a PR working with variables to let the modules compile nearly automatic on each change via dkms)

Answer 13 · 2024-07-03T00:33:29.000Z

How do I know if the data that I have will not be lost, and I just reinstall waydroid so data isn't gone @slynobody

Answer 14 · 2024-07-03T00:34:01.000Z

Another option to try is to use firewall-cmd to remove the waydroid0 rule, then re-add it. I dont have access to a Linux machine so i dont have the commands memorized. I plan to add that functionality to the Toolbox too.

Regarding PR - i have 2nd thoughts for auto building on MAIN / 3.7. The current script only works on stable and beta as that is what i use on my OLED and LCD. I dont use MAIN / 3.7 that's why the script is locked down to stable and beta branch - will be difficult to provide support if something goes wrong in MAIN as i dont use it.

Take a look at Waydroid Toolbox under the UNINSTALL. Line 187 remove the directories that start with ~./local/share

Answer 16 · 2024-07-03T00:42:12.000Z

so when a new steamos update comes it won't delete data, nice.

Answer 17 · 2024-07-03T00:44:02.000Z

When you re-run script it doesnt delete data it just reinstalls the binder module and waydroid - that is the default behavior.

If you uninstall - it deletes everything including the waydroid user data. I plan on adding an option to UNINSTALL but retain user data, but got caught up on other things.

i did supply a preliminary script to reenable net (and if this does not work one to remove waydroid without losing data)

Answer 19 · 2024-08-09T15:02:45.000Z

I've updated the script and also rebuilt the kernel modules for latest Stable and Beta.

Tested and it works.

SteamOS Waydroid Installer script has been updated - this now works with SteamOS 3.6.9.
