Android tablet or phone display on Linux Manjaro Laptop with SCRCPY

On one laptop it works.
On the important one it does not work yet. I do hope it almost will !

Done so far : # pacman -S adb, # pacman -S scrcpy. In the tablet : Enable USB debugging on Android : works. adb devices and scrcpy commands do work. I did learn these commands to stop and start adb : adb kill-server; adb start-server. They do work. Responce ! They did help on the first laptop !

Tablet is recognized by “$ adb devices”

$ adb devices
List of devices attached
V52X13LNX9H device

$ scrcpy
scrcpy 3.3.4 https://github.com/Genymobile/scrcpy
error: XDG_RUNTIME_DIR is invalid or not set in the environment.

Thanks in advance

[MiniHowTo] Present code or command output

Note: Grave accent (or, backtick) characters are used. :eyes:

For inline code or to show a single command:

  • please follow this simple example: code here.

For multi-line command output:

  • place text beween two rows of three (```) backtick characters to form a scrollable text box, or …
  • use the </> button in the Compose window to achieve the same result.

The empty row between these rows of backtick characters is where to paste any multi-line command output (such as inxi).

An example of a pre-formatted text enclosure:

What is a Quark?

A. In Physics, an elementary particle and fundamental constituent of matter.

C. A soft, creamy, usually unsalted cheese traditional to central Europe.
