Issue description

I am trying to install Qtile with wayland on Linux Mint 22.
I did install pywlroots from pipx and still I got the error "Backend 'wayland' missing required Python dependencies: wlroots" when I ran "qtile start -b wayland".
Exact same issue persists on FreeBSD, only difference being instead of pipx I used pkg.

Version

0.27.0

Backend

Wayland (experimental)

Config

  • I have searched past issues to see if this bug has already been reported, and it hasn't been.
  • I understand that people give their precious time for free, and thus I've done my very best to make this problem as easy as possible to investigate.

You need wlroots on top of pywlroots

I have installed all the libwlroots packages including libwlroots-dev with apt. Same problem.

Ah right I think I see the issue, you can't install pywlroots from pipx, you need to install it with regular pip. Pipx install it in its own environment

You can with pipx inject it installs packages in an environment, check out man pipx

I doubt OP did that?

Is it a good idea to install via pip on Debian based systems? Or a separate environment?

I don't know why but in Debian I have to compile pywroots from source for it to work and not give that error..
