question whether support libwebkit2gtk based application #133

Closed joyhope closed 1 year ago

joyhope commented 1 year ago

I used WAYLAND_DISPLAY=wayland-99 macro to control libwebkit2gtk based GUI application, but it does not display in ubuntu-frame.

ldd for the GUI application showed linux-vdso.so.1 (0x00007ffd3af63000) libwebkit2gtk-4.0.so.37 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libwebkit2gtk-4.0.so.37 (0x00007fc700c00000) libgtk-3.so.0 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgtk-3.so.0 (0x00007fc700200000) libgdk-3.so.0 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgdk-3.so.0 (0x00007fc700af9000) Whether such GUI app is supported by ubuntu frame?

@joyhope try working through this:

GTK3 applications do support Wayland, so it should, in theory, work. Not a Frame issue, though, as it's something the application / toolkit must support.

As a backup, you could also package it as an X11 app, but Wayland-native is much preferred:

I'll close this as it's not a Frame problem - please join us for discussion at https://discourse.ubuntu.com/c/mir/15. Thanks!
