Browse activity does not write to shell.log, please look for the activity log file in the same directory. If there is no activity log, use the Terminal activity to test the Browse activity by hand;

cd /usr/share/sugar/activities/Browse.activity
sugar-activity3

[drLite35]

i can see web-activity in the same directory are you talking about it? then its says:- failed to create drawable 1708378121.796552 : Error root: WebView at uri 'https://github.com/Ovalelephant35' has crashed and in terminal also it says same thing

[quozl]

Thanks, that's interesting. Your system is broken. Let's see if we can fix it. I suggest looking at the installed files for the libwebkit2gtk package, find the one called MiniBrowser, which on a 64-bit PC is /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/webkit2gtk-4.0/MiniBrowser but will be different path on Raspberry Pi, run the MiniBrowser program, and use it to verify that the WebView is working properly.

Here's what I did on a PC;

dpkg-query -W | grep -i webkit
dpkg --listfiles libwebkit2gtk-4.0-37
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/webkit2gtk-4.0/MiniBrowser 

If the MiniBrowser loads web pages fine, then the Browse activity may be bit rot. If the MiniBrowser does not load web pages fine, please fix the problem before coming back to ask about Browse. :grin:

[drLite35]

MiniBrowser is loading webpages fine , how should i proceed then.

[quozl]

Capture the activity log.

[drLite35]

I tried again by rebooting Sugar and RPi and running minibrowser as stated above with including path etc on Rpi On terminal its is prompting Failed to Created Drawable while trying to run minibrowser.

[quozl]

Okay, so you said

• the MiniBrowser opens your web page fine, and also says "Failed to create drawable",
• the Browse activity does not open your web page, and also says "Failed to create drawable", as well as "WebView at uri has crashed".

That would suggest "Failed to create drawable" is unavoidable and unimportant.

I suggest looking through the MiniBrowser source code and compare it to Browse activity, to find out what MiniBrowser does that Browse does not, or does differently.

What version of the Browse activity?

[drLite35]

Thanks for replying , I am using version 206 for browser , ok let me compare both of the codes and see what is difference also i wanted to ask minibrowser only opens this site webkitgtk.org?

Also How can i access source code for minibrowser because the path /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/webkit2gtk-4.0/MiniBrowser does not contain it what is its location.

[quozl]

Thanks for replying , I am using version 206 for browser ,

Please upgrade to Browse 208 and test again. Or, you might read the changes between 206 and 208 to see if any describe the problem you are facing. See the commits to this repository, in whatever way you like.

ok let me compare both of the codes and see what is difference also i wanted to ask minibrowser only opens this site webkitgtk.org?

Sorry, I can't parse your question. Please try again.

Also How can i access source code for minibrowser because the path /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/webkit2gtk-4.0/MiniBrowser does not contain it what is its location.

That's really outside scope for Browse activity, but https://github.com/WebKit/WebKit/blob/main/Tools/MiniBrowser/gtk/main.c is likely to be the upstream source code file. The exact source for the exact version you have installed is best obtained using the Debian tools for downloading the packaged source; this is documented by Debian project, but it boils down to adding sources lines to your /etc/apt/sources.list file, doing an apt update, then an apt source command.

[drLite35]

Yes upgradation to v208 worked as of now.

[quozl]

Thanks. We use upgrade rather than upgradation. Now that the problem is fixed, I'll close the issue.
