[Bug 1966418] Re: [jammy regression] webkit apps do not display content (yelp, epiphany, gnome-online-accounts etc)

 

Ubuntu 24.04 will default to Xorg if there's an Nvidia driver active.
Otherwise it should be using Wayland.

Regardless, please open a new bug using:

  ubuntu-bug webkit2gtk

or at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/webkit2gtk/+filebug

If you have Nvidia then the new issue might be related to this patch we
still carry:

Bug description:
  Impact
  ------
  All webkit using apps for affected users display a blank screen.

  Original Bug Report
  -------------------
  Evolution has suddenly stopped displaying message contents on the last 24h. Starting it up from the command line shows this output:

  ```
  EGLDisplay Initialization failed: EGL_NOT_INITIALIZED
  Cannot create EGL context: invalid display (last error: EGL_SUCCESS)
  ```

  I don't know if it's related, but googling around shows some webkitgtk
  hits on this error.

  The email contents are however clickable. They're just not rendered to
  screen (see attached file).

  Deleting the evolution folders from `~/.config`, `~/.cache` and
  `~/.local/share` does not help.

  Email accounts are all google, configured through gnome online
  accounts.

  Workaround #1
  -------------
  You can run the app from the command line with
  WEBKIT_DISABLE_COMPOSITING_MODE=1 evolution
  (Replace evolution with the name of the webkit app you are trying to use)

  Workaround #2
  -------------
  Log out.
  Select your name on the login screen.
  Click the gear button and choose Ubuntu on Xorg.
  Enter your password to finish logging in.
