I am testing out a patch for mutter, and for this purpose built mutter and installed this in /opt/mutter on my machine.
Now, I want to test it out, with:
$ export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/mutter/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/
$ /opt/mutter/bin/mutter --replace
libmutter-Message: 10:26:06.960: Running Mutter (using mutter 43.1) as a Wayland display server
Failed to setup: Could not take control: GDBus.Error:System.Error.EBUSY: Device or resource busy
How can I test a new mutter build on my system (which already runs Ubuntu's mutter?)
OS: Ubuntu 22.10
Mutter: latest in git repo.
Desktop: Wayland
UPDATE 1
Even though I was able to run mutter stand alone in a virtual console, I have not found a way to use a new mutter build with my system's gnome.
The libmutter-11.so appears to be directly linked by the gnome-shell binary (I was under the impression it was a run-time plug-in, but that does not seem to be the case?)
