DevPod starts with a blank screen

[mapringg]

Describe the bug

• open devpod from the application overview on a fresh install
• encounter a blank screen

(running on xorg)

What did you expect to happen?

I expected the application to load with a UI.

Extra information or context

• devpod works on wayland

[m2Giles]

Dumb question. Are you using scaling options in display?

[nidhoggr-nil]

Have the same issue on aurora-39 under x11 with no scaling options (100% standard) set in display.

I tried running it via the terminal, and get the following error

** (dev-pod:100126): WARNING **: 15:42:28.683: webkit_settings_set_enable_offline_web_application_cache is deprecated and does nothing.

glxgears and 3d acceleration works fine otherwise

Devpod has been updated from 0.5.4 to 0.5.6 yesterday.

Please see if it's still causing an issue. I've confirmed it works (with some oddities) on bluefin latest and Aurora latest

[m2Giles]

Just noticed that you were on Nvidia.

I'm going to look to see is Tauri applications need something additional for X.

[nidhoggr-nil]

hmm, just updated and rebooted, I'm on x and still just have a blank grey image

[Achnazoor]

Running bluefin in a proxmox vm, I can confirm that this happens when you use an nvidia card. (occurs when I do gpu passthrough of a 1060 with 3gb, goes away when I remove gpu passthrough)

[nneto]

At my job I use a Dell Tower with NV136 Graphics. I'm on Wayland. DevPod just shows a blank screen when opening the first time or just the frame of the window if it was already running (closing the window and opening again).

Screenshots

EDIT: Fixed using an env variable. Source.

This probably cannot be fixed system-wide since WEBKIT_DISABLE_COMPOSITING_MODE=1 would disable compositing for all apps with webkit in the base system (for some reason, the system-settings have a dependency on webkit of all things). Could probably be fixed with a wrapper like dev-pod-nocompositing that runs devpod with that option enabled or something like that

I just ran into this issue as well on 41-nvidia-dx.

[Completeful-NicholasA]

Encountering this issue as well. Same scenario as @apriendeau.

[apriendeau]

I found that its an issue in the nvidia drivers that was patched in the latest nvidia drivers. Is there a way for us to upgrade bluefin drivers manually or what is the release cadence?

[castrojo]

We always ingest the lastest version the next day, so worst case a week later if you're on a weekly build. Are people still seeing this? Anyone on non-nvidia seeing a problem?
