Ubuntu 12.10 ships Weston and Wayland. What are the basic steps I need to take to make them usable? Trying to start Weston gives this and then drops back to the command prompt:



$ weston
Date: 2012-12-06 CET
[10:53:58.368] weston 0.95.0

PS: I know that they aren't ready for prime-time yet, anything basic like opening a terminal or hello-world type thing in Weston would be enough.

The problem solved itself in 13.04, weston starts now out of the box, no setup required. It will open up as a separate window in Xorg and provide a Terminal along with a basic window manager functionality.
