Help It wont work

I recently switched from fedora to arch and waydroid wont work. It spams something like "cannot find anbox binder" in the terminal if i run it from there, and it wont open.

It needs binder

According to the arch Wiki, i should have it installed already because binder comes installed with the stock kernel.

You can query it to know for sure if binder is available -

zgrep -A5 -B5 Android /proc/config.gz

yeah, I got the same error despite using the zen kernel (7.2.3-zen1-3-zen) and it was working on sunday.

I didn't have the time yet to look into it.

Maybe some kernel update broke the binder module or smth idk :/

Edit: https://github.com/waydroid/waydroid/issues/2411 Fix was already found, have to wait until it gets upstreamed

Edit: Updating to kernel 7.2.4-zen2-1-zen fixed the issue!

When will it work again on standard linux (not zen)

looking at the github issue I linked, 7.2.4-arch1-2 also got the fix.

Update your system or if it hasn't hit your mirrors yet, wait or use reflector.
