Problem

Here's the full error: TypeError: Cannot read property 'getExtension' of null at /tmp/.mount_eDEX-UVSPHKY/resources/app.asar/assets/vendor/encom-globe.js 29516:34

Maybe I don't have any extensions installed and this is why this error is cropping up?

GitSquared commented 3 years ago

This is 3D-acceleration related. What's your machine specs, especially CPU+GPU?

pmarreck commented 3 years ago

@GitSquared Threadripper 3990x and two 2080ti's 😮

wrac4242 commented 3 years ago

ok, are you using the official nvidia drivers?

GitSquared commented 3 years ago

two 2080ti

Nice rig, but the SLI config might be the reason you're experiencing trouble here... do you have VDPAU video acceleration drivers? (also, wrac's question is important)

pmarreck commented 3 years ago

@wrac4242 Yes, the proprietary ones. @GitSquared I’m afraid I don’t know what that is.

GitSquared commented 3 years ago

GPU video acceleration drivers. How to check for/install them will depend on your distro but the Arch wiki has some good information you should be able to use anywhere: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Hardware_video_acceleration

wrac4242 commented 3 years ago

and the proprietary ones work in mysterious ways, and are one of the only things that has crashed my arch install

pmarreck commented 3 years ago

Ah, forgot to mention, the 2 GPU's are not actually set up in an SLI config. They're literally just plugged into separate PCI slots and not connected to each other. I use one to offload some computing tasks

@wrac4242 Unfortunately, gaming was one of the priorities on this particular setup, hence the proprietary drivers due to performance reasons. I totally get the "open source everything" philosophy though.

@pmarreck of course. You should be able to setup video acceleration packages with the proprietary drivers, using NVENCODE / VDPAU packages, on your distro. I think this should help fix the issue in edex as it will provide better interoperability between the browser instance we use and the two GPUs. Check the wiki link I sent you earlier.
