GLX/hardware accelerated 2D *required*?

[tukoz]

Hi I'm willing to try Haroopad out, being all in markdown and git atm. Haroopad's installed on my remote desktop running Arch linux; willing to launch it remotely via a well functionning X11 forward setup (x2go).

However when launching from the remote $TERM, no window appears on my tiny netbook and the terminal content is wiped out. Pressing shows the following:

$ haroopad --disable-setuid-sandbox
[16887:0302/135824:ERROR:browser_main_loop.cc(162)] Running without the SUID sandbox! See https://code.google.com/p/chromium/wiki/LinuxSUIDSandboxDevelopment for more information on developing with the sandbox on.

[16907:0302/135824:ERROR:gpu_child_thread.cc(143)] Exiting GPU process due to errors during initialization

And when launched on pure ssh x11-forward:

$ haroopad --disable-setuid-sandbox
[26009:0302/140953:ERROR:browser_main_loop.cc(162)] Running without the SUID sandbox! See https://code.google.com/p/chromium/wiki/LinuxSUIDSandboxDevelopment for more information on developing with the sandbox on.

^C

Have no issue running whatever GUI app over the same tunnel, without hardware accelerated 2D display though. E.g. Chromium:

kozaki@gwenael (SSH):~$ [0]$ chromium 
[26105:26105:0302/141024:ERROR:gl_surface_glx.cc(343)] glxQueryVersion failed
[26105:26105:0302/141024:ERROR:gl_surface_x11.cc(56)] GLSurfaceGLX::InitializeOneOff failed.
[26105:26105:0302/141024:ERROR:gpu_child_thread.cc(243)] Exiting GPU process due to errors during initialization
[26048:26069:0302/141027:ERROR:browser_gpu_channel_host_factory.cc(132)] Failed to launch GPU process.
[26048:26069:0302/141028:ERROR:browser_gpu_channel_host_factory.cc(132)] Failed to launch GPU process. # Browsers launches localy with no more errors.

Which leads to some questions:

• Is hardware accelerated GUI required to run Haroopad?
• Can it be made to run over the network (X-forward)?

EDIT: won't run either on the netbook which has GLX 1.4. So there's possibly a mixed issue here. Please what's yoru idea?

I have made new pkg for next release. I can get your feedback about release candidate?

Hi @rhiokim

Can it run on a system without GLX? E.g. there's no hardware acceleration on my main laptop (gma500). Please answer.

Now trying to launch haroopad v0.13.2 after packaging it for my Arch.

Launched from my desktop Arch x86_64 via x2go (NX client/server):

There's "something" (looks like a window) appears shortly on my local screen, then the desktop (very shortly also) and then same all white console.

$ LANG=en_US.UTF-8 haroopad --disable-setuid-sandbox

^C
 ~ :( $ Failed to tell parent about crash.

Next I'll run it from the Intel netbook and report.

EDITs:

• Harropad launches --and runs-- fine on the low-pro Intel Atom gma3150 "Pineview"

Man, it's polished tool :) Next I'll try on the no-GLX netbook.

• runs fine on the gma500 netbook too!

Updated PKGBUILD in the Arch linux AUR Haroopad page's comment

Would be great when it can run remotely (X-forward), as this would mean infinite portability for all remote-setup users.
