Description František Zatloukal 2019-09-02 12:43:01 UTC
Description of problem:
Epiphany does not render any content at all on RaspberryPi 2 (might also happen on other arm boards, just didn't test anything else yet.)

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
epiphany-3.33.91-1.fc31.armv7hl

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open Epiphany on RaspberryPi 2
2. Enter some url to the address bar

Actual results:
Nothing is rendered, page seems to be loading, forever

Expected results:
Web pages should load and render without any issues.

Additional info:
I've tried launching epiphany with LIBGL_ALWAYS_SOFTWARE=1, without any success. Also, nothing weird is printed to stdout or journal.

Testing was done on Fedora-Xfce-armhfp-31-20190831.n.0 .

Comment 1 Fedora Blocker Bugs Application 2019-09-02 12:45:15 UTC
Proposed as a Blocker for 31-beta by Fedora user frantisekz using the blocker tracking app because:

 "It must be possible to run the default web browser and a terminal application from all release-blocking desktop environments."

Comment 2 František Zatloukal 2019-09-02 12:55:57 UTC
After reboot, I've started getting something to stdout. Also, launching with "WEBKIT_DISABLE_COMPOSITING_MODE=1" didn't help.

$ WEBKIT_DISABLE_COMPOSITING_MODE=1 epiphany google.cz
Unable to init server: Could not connect: Connection refused

(WebKitWebProcess:2): Gtk-WARNING **: 08:51:56.033: cannot open display: :0.0

** (epiphany:19753): WARNING **: 08:51:57.139: Web process crashed

... and this is spammed forever.

Look for the backtrace of the WebKitWebProcess crash in coredumpctl..

Comment 4 Michael Catanzaro 2019-09-02 14:50:31 UTC
Guess: web process sandbox might be blocking X11 connections. We've probably only tested it under Wayland.

This isn't arch specific and reproducible on x86_64 with the xfce spin.

That's interesting, I've tried it on GNOME (Xorg) on x86_64 where it worked just fine, didn't try Xfce on x86_64 though :/

So, this means it's broken on all (blocking) arm desktops.

Comment 8 Geoffrey Marr 2019-09-03 21:05:50 UTC
Discussed during the 2019-09-03 blocker review meeting: [1]

The decision to delay the classification of this as a blocker bug was made as while this and other bugs frantisekz has encountered on his Raspberry Pi 2 worry us, we'd like to delay the decision on them for a bit while we do more triage with other testers and other systems to determine exactly what's going on.

Comment 9 Michael Catanzaro 2019-09-03 22:14:05 UTC
So... WebKit web process can't connect to X server... but only if you use Xfce? That's a strange one.

Comment 10 Patrick Griffis 2019-09-04 15:46:25 UTC
Can you confirm that Flatpak'd X11 applications work fine? WebKit should be using X11 identically.
