Flexbox layouts don't seem to work #29

Closed FallingSnow closed 8 years ago

FallingSnow commented 8 years ago

Using any kind of flex display options doesn't appear to work. Any chance flex support will be added?

Which version of webkit2gtk are you using?

FallingSnow commented 8 years ago

webkit2gtk-2.10.9-1

FallingSnow commented 8 years ago

And I can't install the latest version in the test repo because

lightdm-webkit2-greeter: installing webkit2gtk (2.12.0-1) breaks dependency 'webkit2gtk<2.12'

Flexbox works fine with the 2.10 series. Are you sure you are using it correctly. Do you have Epiphany installed? Does it work there?

FallingSnow commented 8 years ago

I'm using Angular Material's CSS and it works in chrome. I just installed epiphany, the odd thing is epiphany opens and closes instantly with the error epiphany: symbol lookup error: epiphany: undefined symbol: webkit_web_view_get_session_state which after a google seems to be related to webkit2gtk.

You'll need to force the upgrade to webkit2gtk 3.12 (if you have gnome 3.20 packages installed).. pacman -Sdd webkitgtk

FallingSnow commented 8 years ago

I don't know what fixed it but it's working now. I think it had to do with upgrading webkit2gtk then downgrading it again. Thanks for your support.

I have another issue though, an img with src="/home/user/.face" doesn't show the image. Only a small box with a question mark.

lots0logs commented 8 years ago

You can't access files in user home directories. You can get the path to the user's face image from the greeter's Javascript API. You can use the default theme as a reference. Here's the part of the code that handles adding users to the page: https://github.com/Antergos/lightdm-webkit2-greeter/blob/master/themes/antergos/js/greeter.js#L437

FallingSnow commented 8 years ago

I think that's what I'm already doing and it gives me a path to /home/user/.face. If the user defines a face image outside of their home in a publicly accessible directory I will then be able to display their image?

I updated the details on where and how user icons should be stored: https://github.com/Antergos/lightdm-webkit2-greeter/tree/master/themes/antergos#user-icons-management
