Unable to run Surrealist on Arch Linux #203

Closed ASoldo closed 5 months ago

ASoldo commented 5 months ago

Describe the bug Today I have removed old Surrealist app and installed new one with yay -S surrealist and when I try to run it I see this message in terminal:

❯ surrealist
surrealist: error while loading shared libraries: libssl.so.1.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Install fresh Surrealist with yay -S surrealist
  2. run surrealist

Expected behavior Run application from Rofi/Terminal as before

Environment: Arch Linux

There's some comments in the aur page that should help for now https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/surrealist-bin

I also noticed the UI lags significantly (with high CPU) if I don't run with WEBKIT_DISABLE_DMABUF_RENDERER=1

tacheometry commented 5 months ago

The package includes the WEBKIT_DISABLE_DMABUF_RENDERER=1 patch to the .desktop file now. For running it from the CLI you'll still have to add that variable in one way (such as through bashrc or writing it every time).

The AUR package is currently supplied by the community and we don't support it officially yet. If you have any problems with the AUR package please raise it on the AUR package itself so @tacheometry the maintainer of the package can handle it.

For now I'm using .AppImage and it works and I didn't need to add WEBKIT_DISABLE_DMABUF_RENDERER=1 for it to work. I can work with this now. I hope AUR package will be fixed in the future.

tacheometry commented 5 months ago

It isn't the fault of the package. It is an upstream issue of webkit2gtk interacting with Nvidia graphics drivers. The AUR package just extracts the deb file: https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/tree/PKGBUILD?h=surrealist-bin

@tacheometry I see, tnx. Now installing with yay works with the latest update.

tacheometry commented 5 months ago

The package uses the .deb file from the releases and extracts it. Because the deb contains a plain executable, it also runs on Arch with the right dependencies. To install the latest version update your system (yay or yay -Syu - using yay -Sy is not recommended), then install the package yay -S surrealist-bin.

The only way to get it showing properly on Nvidia is using that WEBKIT_DISABLE_DMABUF_RENDERER=1. If you open Surrealist with the .desktop file, like clicking in your DE's Start menu (like Xfce's Whisker menu), it's already set for you. Otherwise add it to your .bashrc and running surrealist from the CLI should also work

@ASoldo Ah ok, I was typing just as you edited that haha
