Blank web views on Nvidia (with proprietary drivers?) #422

Ambrevar · 2019-09-29T12:17:05Z

Nvidia owners have complained that the web views are completely blank unless WEBKIT_DISABLE_COMPOSITING_MODE=1 is exported beforehand.

Epiphany does not suffer from this issue on the same machines, so we might be doing something wrong.

A comment I wrote in the platform port:

	// WebKitGTK+ 2.24 seems to have a bug when transitionning hardware
	// acceleration policy (for composition), so we need to force it for buffers.
	// It seems that there is no need to force it for the minibuffer.
	// TODO: This could be a problem for systems where hardware acceleration is
	// not available.

A workaround would be to test if compositing mode is supported and then chose between ALWAYS and NEVER.

The bug may be fixed in WebKitGTK 2.26.

The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:

This is also the case for me, but I have an AMD card, using proprietary drivers on Ubuntu. Exporting the variable fixed the problem.

The log from the failure showed:

MESA-LOADER: failed to open swrast (search paths /usr/lib/fglrx/dri:/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/dri:/usr/lib/dri:/usr/lib32/fglrx/dri:/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/dri)
libGL error: failed to load driver: swrast

Ambrevar · 2019-10-02T16:20:33Z

@alphapapa: Maybe not exactly _the_ solution, but why not using the free drivers? They tend to fare very well these days ;)

Ambrevar · 2019-10-02T16:24:41Z

Would anyone know how to check (in C) if the system supports hardware acceleration or not?

jmercouris · 2019-10-02T16:27:50Z

Can you check the logs to see if a log is emitted that a driver failed to load? Is there a hash define that checks for this that you can put somewhere?

alphapapa · 2019-10-02T19:02:56Z

Maybe not exactly the solution, but why not using the free drivers? They tend to fare very well these days ;)

@Ambrevar Because they are necessary on my system.

I have noticed this on my AMDGPU system. Tested using nix, versions 1.3.4 and 1.4.0, both behave as described until I set WEBKIT_DISABLE_COMPOSITING_MODE=1.

This isn't just NVIDIA.

Edit: nothing of note in the logfile

Ambrevar · 2020-01-18T11:02:51Z

I can't reproduce with an AMDGPU. Which kernel module and linux version are you using?

bqv · 2020-01-18T11:36:13Z

If it isn't obvious, I'm running gentoo, even though i'm running next through nix. There isn't a trace of NVIDIA in my system

Ambrevar · 2020-01-18T11:46:17Z

I see that you have i915 though. Do you have a hybrid / dual GPU?

bqv · 2020-01-18T12:36:16Z

I do have an integrated i915 yes, it should be entirely not in use at the moment

Hugal31 · 2020-02-06T10:00:16Z

Can reproduce both on a laptop and desktop with proprietary NVIDIA driver. The environment variable fixes the issue.

Ambrevar · 2020-03-30T08:36:11Z

Can anyone reproduce this on master?

bqv · 2020-03-30T09:35:56Z

@mmequignon here is a nix-based shell script to run next from git master. Could you try and reproduce this? https://gist.github.com/bqv/3dd7032b793dcf3b7bdf1ea55daa747e

Ambrevar · 2020-04-17T14:09:22Z

Next 2.0 is going to be released very soon. Can anyone confirm that Next works properly with Nvidia proprietary drivers?

@bqv Sorry for the late response, here is the error I get

@mmequignon no problem! The package on nixpkgs is somewhat bizarrely difficult to override properly so i think this will no longer work (see NixOS/nixpkgs#85465). Maybe easier to just build in an impure environment manually and test that? Try nix-shell -p glibcLocales sbcl and just run the standard build procedure. It would be quite helpful to see if the bug still happens on master before 2.0

Ambrevar · 2020-04-19T08:46:02Z

Let me know if I can help with the Nix definitions (I wrote the Guix one).

mmequignon · 2020-04-19T12:19:51Z

I created a derivation and tried to install it that way :

with import <nixpkgs> {};

stdenv.mkDerivation {
    name = "next";

    src = fetchFromGitHub {
      owner = "next-browser";
      repo = "next";
      rev = "master";
      sha256 = "1s6dbjp73rhdjplj05jpg5jlsfkgjf2inhs9ng7ivkfr9y4qgqbs";
    };

    NEXT_INTERNAL_QUICKLISP = "true"; 

    buildInputs = [
        pkgs.glibcLocales
        pkgs.xclip
        pkgs.curl
        pkgs.sbcl
    ];
}

but I can't make it work (I'm a beginner with nix expressions). It complains about cl-webkit missing.
Which means I need to create another derivation to install that packages, given that it does not exists in nixpkgs.

Set DESTDIR to change the target destinatation.  It should be

Set LISP and LISP_FLAGS to accommodate to your Lisp compiler.

Set NEXT_RENDERER to the renderer of your choice, e.g. "gtk".

If NEXT_INTERNAL_QUICKLISP is "true" (the default), all Lisp
dependencies will be fetched with Quicklisp into the
QUICKLISP_DIR directory.

Otherwise, the dependencies will have to be locally installed
on your system.  You may have to accomodate the LISP_FLAGS
to, use your local install of Quicklisp.  For example:

make next NEXT_INTERNAL_QUICKLISP=false LISP_FLAGS=

@Ambrevar I might need some help here, thanks !

Ambrevar · 2020-04-19T13:49:31Z

Your error is because I think Nix does not allow network access during build. But the NEXT_INTERNAL_QUICKLISP=true (which is the default) tries to fetch Quicklisp over the network. A Nix recipe already exists, you should start from there: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/tree/master/pkgs/applications/networking/browsers/next You can probably ping @lewo for help :) On master, next-gtk-webkit not longer exists, so the recipe should be much simpler. cl-webkit in Quicklisp is currently outdated, so you'll need to fetch it first from https://github.com/joachifm/cl-webkit before building. Quicklisp will soon be updated (before end of the month?) to include the latest cl-webkit. Hope that helps!

bqv · 2020-04-19T16:30:12Z

The problem you're going to hit is that building with nix requires network access, or an output hash, or updating the nix commonlisp packages (because there is at least one new dependency not there) :D that's why I was suggesting do it impurely to save time. We can worry about updating nixpkgs once 2.0 has been released

Ambrevar · 2020-05-31T08:51:25Z

Sorry, the right user to ping here was @nlewo ;)

So i have a local environment running with nix with the following default.nix nix-shell --pure default.nix followed by make all (or a couple make alls to recover from dependency errors) builds nyxt successfully. however it still requires the env variable to be set.

This is as of 04795c1

Below my default.nix

}

Ambrevar · 2020-06-26T15:20:40Z

What happens if you don't set WEBKIT_DISABLE_COMPOSITING_MODE? The lispPackages seem to be missing cluffer at least.

Ambrevar · 2021-04-08T11:54:53Z

No, I'd like to implement the queue first, because we also need to fix the slow startup issue when there is a race condition on the Libsoup table access.

jmercouris · 2021-04-14T10:57:32Z

I have great news, I can reproduce this by changing the drivers my system uses from Noveau to proprietary. That means I can test it. I think I will try with the cl-webkit simple browser and see if I can reproduce it. Then I may also try epiphany.

Ambrevar · 2021-04-14T11:07:41Z

Fantastic!!!

brongulus · 2021-04-16T12:57:54Z

To add onto this issue, I've used nyxt on my arch OS with proprietary NVIDIA drivers without any crashes, but today when I installed nyxt using guix package manage on arch and ran that, I came across the libGL errors: No matching fbConfigs or visuals found and failed to load driver: swrast, even running nyxt with env WEBKIT_DISABLE_COMPOSTING_MODE=1 nyxt didn't achieve much success and on opening some webpages nyxt crashed with the same error. Any idea what's going on, why it works with arch and NVIDIA but not via guix?

Ambrevar · 2021-04-16T15:50:53Z

I'm not sure how Guix packs handle interaction with graphics driver. We would need to ask the Guix community, but my bet is that it's still mostly uncharted territory. Out of curiosity, is there a specific reason you decided to install with Guix rather than with pacman?

brongulus · 2021-04-16T16:20:53Z

No particular reason, I was just checking out guix and wanted to see how it'd fare with external drivers :)

jmercouris · 2021-04-20T13:09:48Z

I can reproduce this issue / solution in cl-webkit's simple browser.

That is:

Nvidia driver = blank screen on websites that utilize compositing
Setting an environment variable to disable compositing fixes the issue

jmercouris · 2021-04-20T13:20:32Z

@Ambrevar I've been investigating this issue for quite some time, and the conditions to reproduce it only seem to be "Use an Nvidia graphics card with a proprietary driver". Some other ports of it /seem/ to work without this kludge. Perhaps the problem is isolated to NixOS and Guix. The NixOS discussion seems to lead me to believe that. I instead advice that we include a troubleshooting section in our documentation that suggests setting:

(setf (uiop:getenv "WEBKIT_DISABLE_COMPOSITING_MODE") "1")

when getting blank screens. It seems to me a heavy handed approach to disable compositing automatically when it IS capable of working on some systems.

jmercouris · 2021-04-20T13:22:15Z

Additionally, looking through the history of the issue, "alphapapa" also experienced a problem, but with an AMD card. I don't think this is our problem to fix or handle.

jmercouris · 2021-04-20T13:33:15Z

Another note; you do not need to visit a specific website to force breakage. You can simply use the following:

(setf (uiop:getenv "WEBKIT_FORCE_COMPOSITING_MODE") "1")

this will force compositing, and you can see if it works with your graphics card/driver combination.

Ambrevar · 2021-04-20T13:52:10Z

I remember seeing the same issue on Arch Linux. But the point about AMD is good. Better than a documentation notice, I suggest a more accessible way, e.g. add "disable-compositing" command. Commands still work for people experiencing blank web views, so this can help them. We could add a button on the startup page that adds `(disable-compositing)` to the auto config file. Once this in place, we can still try to detect the Nvidia driver card. I know how to do it on Linux. Considering it's most our user base for now, it could be a nice experiment to auto-enable the workaround and see if it does what users want.

jmercouris · 2021-04-20T14:26:18Z

@Ambrevar I'm afraid a command does not work. Invoking the command after startup does not work. It only works if you invoke it before the creation of ANY webview. I will investigate adding it to our common settings. The user can still view webviews that do not trigger compositing/hw acceleration.

jmercouris · 2021-04-20T15:21:34Z

I've added it to our common settings, which are still accessible even if the user has compositing enabled on one of the effected systems.

jmercouris · 2021-04-20T15:32:14Z

I've also added it to the manual.

jmercouris · 2021-04-20T15:34:52Z

With that, I think that is all we can reasonably expect to do. I will remove the 2.0.0 label, and leave this issue open.

Ambrevar · 2021-04-20T19:28:33Z

OK. I suggest then we add an experimental command line argument so that users who complain about the issue can easily test it, without having to fiddle with the config files. Or... Maybe `nyxt --eval '(command-to-disable-compositing)` would be enough. Thoughts?

jmercouris · 2021-04-20T19:31:21Z

There is a command line argument to disable compositing, export! The user can just eval it in their terminal, I don't think this should be a command line argument of Nyxt

Ambrevar · 2021-04-20T19:46:55Z

Good point.

arjaz · 2021-04-22T12:49:09Z

I had the same problem and exporting WEBKIT_DISABLE_COMPOSITING_MODE to 1 didn't help at all.
What helped, though, is installing gst-plugins-good. Now everything just works.

jmercouris · 2021-04-22T12:51:15Z

Those are effectively required for Nyxt to function on the modern internet.

Seems to be a different problem. On which website did you experience a blank view?

arjaz · 2021-04-22T13:00:34Z

It was youtube mostly when starting a video. I also experienced it on slack.
I'm not sure if that solution belongs here, but I'm just happy I can switch to nyxt.

jmercouris · 2021-04-22T13:01:20Z

That perfectly explains :-)

I'm on nvidia and gst-plugins-good is installed, but i still have to set WEBKIT_DISABLE_COMPOSITING_MODE to 1. Also I'm on NixOS.
