[Xperia X] Unable to init Waydroid

[24mu13]

I tried to install Waydroid on my Xperia X (Sailfish OS 4.3.0.12), getting the following error:

[defaultuser@XperiaXDualSIM ~]$ devel-su waydroid init
Password: 
[08:40:13] Failed to load binder driver

[08:40:13] See also: <https://github.com/waydroid>
Run 'waydroid log' for details.

Any clue?

The log itself does not add more..

have you verified that kernel modules ashmem and binder are present?

you can verify by either of these commands
zgrep -i -e android -e ashmem /proc/config.gz

zcat /proc/config.gz | grep -i android && zcat /proc/config.gz | grep -i ashmem

gzip: /proc/config.gz: No such file or directory

I think sailfish-OS has their own waydroid packaging @24mu13 you should check their first. so @ErgFox3DS POP OS 5.15 does not seem to have the necessary kernel modules built in, you will need updated anbox-modules-dkms, or a custom kernel. I believe xanmod has compiled kernels that work with POPOS, or if not, I believe this is the updated dkms modules https://github.com/choff/anbox-modules
