Summary [GTK] Web inspector does not render anything: Failed to create GBM device for...

Reported 2023-10-16 12:43:37 PDT
Using Epiphany Tech Preview with WebKitGTK 2.42.1, I notice the web inspector occasionally breaks and fails to render anything. When this happens, I see the following scary errors in my journal: Oct 16 14:35:44 chargestone-cave org.gnome.Epiphany.Devel.desktop[111657]: Failed to create GBM device for render device: /dev/dri/renderD128: No such file or directory Oct 16 14:35:44 chargestone-cave org.gnome.Epiphany.Devel.desktop[111657]: Cannot get default EGL display: EGL_BAD_PARAMETER Oct 16 14:35:44 chargestone-cave org.gnome.Epiphany.Devel.desktop[111657]: Cannot create EGL context: invalid display (last error: EGL_SUCCESS) I wonder why is it trying to open a render device that doesn't exist? That device actually *does* exist inside the flatpak sandbox of the broken Epiphany instance: $ flatpak enter org.gnome.Epiphany.Devel ls /dev/dri by-path card1 renderD128 Maybe it's not accessible inside the flatpak-spawn subsandbox?

Still broken in WebKitGTK 2.43.3. The web inspector works fine in a freshly-launched Epiphany. I think it breaks only after Epiphany has been open for a while.

Dunno if related or not, here the inspector server is broken. When i click on a target to inspect, the window opens but nothing renders, there is a webview (mouse cursor changes) when i move the mouse around in that window, but nothing renders. In journal: Failed to create GBM buffer of size 0x0: Invalid argument

(In reply to Philippe Normand from comment #2) > Failed to create GBM buffer of size 0x0: Invalid argument That one is bug #265154

Still broken. I noticed this again today using 2.44.2 in Ephy Tech Preview.

So a pattern seems to be: this bug never occurs in a newly-launched Epiphany process. If the Epiphany process has been around for a while, it often occurs, but not reliably. Once it starts happening, the web inspector will never work again until Epiphany is closed and restarted.

Pretty sure this is occurs only under Flatpak and has the same underlying cause as bug #201507. We fixed that one by papering over the crash, but we never figured out what is actually wrong (except in the extreme case at the bottom of the bug report where my entire GL extension was missing, which is surely not the usual case) and Carlos left a warning that rendering would still be broken.

Still seeing this with WebKitGTK 2.50.0, almost every time I open the web inspector.
