 Posted: Sat May 21, 2022 10:51 am Post subject: [SOLVED] any webkit browser crashes |
 |
|
I have finally setup gentoo environment with the dynamic window manager.
But I cannot use one of the most important things - web browser.
I was searching for a minimal & lightweight(as much as possible for my preferences), keyboard-controllable, customisable web browser.
But no one is working as I want:
- surf - nothing. just a white window with random characters in the title; it worked just fine on the Arch linux system, the only issue was the speed;
- nyxt - trying for the first time, could see only the main page and load YouTube page - it crashes and cannot return to the normal state even after restart;
- luakit - only simple pages, something like YouTube crashes;
- vimb - same as luakit, but also displays "Webview crash" error; again, on Arch linux I was running it just flawlessly;
As far as I know they are all based on webkit by default.
So I wonder if I can fix a problem with webkit and use any of these browsers normally?

Plz post your
emerge --info
and also have a look at
/var/log/Xorg.0.log
for clues.
Also invoke the browser in terminal and check for errors.

emerge --info: http://dpaste.com/634778DUC
/var/log/Xorg.0.log: I do not see anything relevant
vim browser: WebKitProcess:12080 GLib-Object-CRITICAL while loading youtube
luakit: WebKitWebProcess:17365 GLib-CRITICAL - same error as with vimb while loading youtube
nyxt browser: a lot of webkit java script errors with the code 699 |

Plz change your profile to
| Code: |
[5] default/linux/amd64/17.1/desktop (stable)
|
followed by
| Code: |
env-update
emerge -uDUav @world
|
Also plz double check your user is member to the video and audio groups.
Also i see you have global USE="hardened".I am not sure this will work outside a hardened profile.
Maybe it does.

Thank you for the response.
I have been reemerging the entire system since yesterday, it's about 24hour long operation.
This is still running, 99 of 103 packages were installed (llvm is being installed now).
I have also added myself to the video group since I wasn't.
But I still cannot run nyxt (at all), vimb and other browsers on heavy pages.
I will report the result as soon as emerge stops. |

Everything is the same. Over 24 hour emerge did not help.
I don't want to install something like firefox, it's gonna be long and I am not sure if it helps. |

Maybe try with firefox-bin.
I also worry about your "hardened" flag as I had mentioned earlier.

I had "-hardened" before emerge -uUDav @world
Firefox bin is working properly everywhere but it does not solve the problem since browsers I prefer can give me the same if not better experience. |

I see two of your preferred browsers come from overlays.
This might be an issue.
Lets check you USE flags
| Code: |
emerge -pv webkit-gtk vimb nyxt luakit

Try netsurf browser with gtk interface.

I've installed netsurf, but it does not load heavy pages same as others.
And I don't like it because of the mouse-oriented interaction and view. |

The output of this command is here: http://dpaste.com/DSKWB3JPQ
What do you mean by overlays? That I've added them manually with ebuild files? |

Yes I meant they are not available in main Gentoo Repository.
They are available in user overlays.
Oh ok I didnt know you maintain them locally in your own.
Try using some overlay versions and check if they work.
If yes then your ebuilds might be to blame.
I found these

https://gpo.zugaina.org/www-client/vimb

I've already got ebuild files from these.
Or there is another way to use them? |

OKAY!
I've lost my hope but tried again after complete gentoo reinstall.
I looked at the vimb developer fanglingsu chat with others who had the same problem.
They installed gst-plugins and somehow it started loading videos.
I did the same thing: gst-plugins-base gst-plugins-good gst-plugins-libav gst-plugins-gtk
I am not sure if all of these are required but now it works!
Vim browser works - I don't actually need more for now.
Thanks to everyone who tried to help. I finally found the solution. |
