Due to a change in the Raspberry Pi kernels upstream, they no longer support FKMS. This can result in slow performance when using the FKMS drivers with the newer Raspberry Pi kernels.
Solution: Open /boot/config.txt, change fkms to kms in the dtoverlay line. Save the file and reboot.
[Waydroid container cannot access internet
Cause: new default waydroid configuration issue, tracked here.
Short-term Solution:
- create
/etc/nftables.d/waydroid.nftwith the following contents:
#!/usr/sbin/nft -f
table inet filter {
chain input {
iifname "waydroid0" accept comment "Allow incoming network traffic from WayDroid"
}
chain forward {
iifname "waydroid0" accept comment "Allow outgoing network traffic from WayDroid"
ct state {established, related} counter accept comment "accept established connections"
}
}
- any time you launch waydroid, run the following after it has started:
echo "ip route add default via 192.168.250.1" |sudo waydroid shell
