Bug 55601

When filing a bug report, you need to provide as much relevant detail as you possibly can. In this case, you should explain at least how you installed wayland/weston and what you did to get this error message.

Since desktop-shell protocol is a special case, not just anything can bind to it. In fact, the compositor only allows the instance of desktop-shell that it initiated to bind. This means that you cannot start desktop-shell manually, you must let the compositor start it.

Thanks for your reply.

Is there a reason you're using 0.85 instead of wayland/weston git master?

Desktop shell is the client that draws the panel and background surfaces. It doesn't make sense to start a new instance of desktop-shell. Perhaps what you want to do is run weston nested? (i.e. run weston in weston as a wayland client)

That's intended behavior, not a bug.  desktop-shell is launched automatically by weston, and you're not allowed to run it manually:

Please do not close bugs where other people are actively conversing. Thanks.
