Webkit Rust Bug #108
Description
Describe the bug
There is a known bug affecting nvidia systems with rust using webkit. The bug is described here. https://internals.rust-lang.org/t/global-symbols-from-statically-linked-system-libraries/19954.
It causes a white screen, and in some cases, a segfault, instead of displaying properly.
To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
- Use nvidia graphics card
- open program
Expected behavior
should display properly.
Desktop (please complete the following information):
- OS: [e.g. iOS] Arch Linux, Cinnamon DE
- Version [e.g. 22] - both latest release and latest commit.
Additional context
It is possible to work around this problem by using an environment variable: WEBKIT_DISABLE_DMABUF_RENDERER=1
I have done this on the nhex-git package that I am going to publish in the AUR. However, several other programs that have had this problem have been able to commit workarounds that no longer require this.
