Help with Waydroid. Showing black screen.

I followed the guide on the website, however, when I ran the command
/usr/bin/waydroid-launcher
/usr/bin/waydroid-launcher
for the first launch before configuring, I got a black window, with the following output:

+ source /etc/default/waydroid-launcher
++ WAYDROID_UNKNOWN_WIDTH=1920
++ WAYDROID_UNKNOWN_HEIGHT=1080
++ WAYDROID_GRALLOC=minigbm_gbm_mesa
++ case "$(/usr/libexec/hwsupport/sysid)" in
+++ /usr/libexec/hwsupport/sysid
++ WAYDROID_WIDTH=1920
++ WAYDROID_HEIGHT=1080
+ (( 0 == 0 ))
+ set -- show-full-ui
++ systemctl is-active waydroid-container.service
+ '[' active == active ']'
+ pkexec /usr/libexec/waydroid-container-stop
+ grep -qz 'not initialized'
++ /usr/bin/waydroid status
+ export -f launch_waydroid
+ pkexec /usr/libexec/waydroid-container-start
++ pgrep wlr-randr
+ '[' -z '' ']'
+ cage -- bash -uxc 'launch_waydroid "$@"' _ 1920x1080 show-full-ui
++ pgrep surfaceflinger
+ '[' '' == '' ']'
+ sleep 1

+ sleep 1
++ pgrep surfaceflinger
+ '[' '' == '' ']'
+ sleep 1
+ shift
+ exec waydroid show-full-ui
++ pgrep surfaceflinger
+ '[' '' == '' ']'
+ sleep 1
++ pgrep surfaceflinger
+ '[' '' == '' ']'
+ sleep 1

+ cage -- bash -uxc 'launch_waydroid "$@"' _ 1920x1080 show-full-ui
++ pgrep surfaceflinger
+ '[' '' == '' ']'
+ sleep 1

+ launch_waydroid 1920x1080 show-full-ui
+ wlr-randr --output X11-1 --custom-mode 1920x1080

+ sleep 1
++ pgrep surfaceflinger

+ shift
+ exec waydroid show-full-ui
++ pgrep surfaceflinger
+ '[' '' == '' ']'
+ sleep 1
++ pgrep surfaceflinger
+ '[' '' == '' ']'
+ sleep 1


with the:
++ pgrep surfaceflinger
+ '[' '' == '' ']'
+ sleep 1
++ pgrep surfaceflinger
+ '[' '' == '' ']'
+ sleep 1

going on forever. I've tried reinstalling like 3 times already, and have been getting the same problem.
