How to debug Weston

1. Wayland logs

To get the logs of the wayland protocol messages, set this environment variable:

 export WAYLAND_DEBUG=1

2. Saving Weston logs in a file

Standard Weston logs are available in the /var/log/weston.log file when Weston is started using the systemd service.

 cat /var/log/weston.log

3. Displaying Weston logs on a console

Start Weston with the following command:

 weston --tty=1 &

All Weston logs are then displayed on the console.
