Re: Do libwebkitgtk based browsers work on ppc64?

Hello Adrian,

Thank you for getting back to me and for all your work on Debian ppc.

It is good to know that it should work in principle and that the port has access
to a quite capable web browser.

It is not working for me so it might be something in my setup or just sid being
sid. With the recent update of libegl-mesa0 I'm getting a segmentation fault.
Launching epiphany from a terminal I get the following:

libEGL warning: DRI3: Screen seems not DRI3 capable
libEGL warning: failed to get driver name for fd -1

libEGL warning: MESA-LOADER: failed to retrieve device information

libEGL warning: failed to get driver name for fd -1


(epiphany:6051): GLib-WARNING **: 13:08:40.320: GError set over the top of a previous GError or uninitialized memory.
This indicates a bug in someone's code. You must ensure an error is NULL before it's set.
The overwriting error message was: Unable to create a GL context
Could not create EGL surfaceless context: EGL_SUCCESS.
Could not create EGL surfaceless context: EGL_SUCCESS.
Segmentation fault

Do you have any idea of what this might be?
This is on a iMac G5 with an nvidia GeForce FX Go5200 card using the nouveau
driver.
I don't see any significant error on Xorg.log, except perhaps that
"systemd-logind: failed to get session"
but I don't have systemd installed on this system.

Any hints?

All the best,
João
