4 posts were split to a new topic: Garuda Rani window size
Recently, Rani (-git) freezes and requires force quit after merely a few interactions. Here are logs from two times of it happening:

Well ■■■■, I can confirm it! No useful logs whatsoever, love it (I’m leaning towards some webview issue)!
I think I might have gotten a hint on what’s causing kernels to load (partly probably because of having a situation like the reported ones myself?) while debugging. Code died while executing k.kernelVersion.match while parsing shell output, which was undefined and threw an exception, causing things to never finish.
Note for future bugs like this: instruct people to run the debuggable version locally:
- Clone repo
- Install needed deps
- Run
pnpm exec tauri dev - Replicate situation, watching the webview console that’s automatically opened when the application starts. Unhandled or not explicitly logged JavaScript errors will be visible only in that console.
Alternatively provide debug version via Debug | Tauri.
And when there’s one thing that’s good about the whole freeze situation, then it’s that the freezes are replicable 100%.
Edit 2:
No idea what’s even going on. Even the web inspector console dies upon the freeze, while Tauri seemingly sends more events. Filed a bug report at Tauri’s repo:
A new git version with updated deps and the kernel fix is out. I’m quite sure it doesn’t fix the freezing issue, but at least we could try verifying the other fix on systems other than mine.

This is interesting. We already set these in a few places:
https://gitlab.com/garuda-linux/applications/rani/-/blob/main/src-tauri/src/lib.rs#L10
That is, when NVIDIA is detected, or VM + Wayland.
Can you give it a try?
WEBKIT_DISABLE_DMABUF_RENDERER=1 WEBKIT_DISABLE_COMPOSITING_MODE=1 garuda-rani
or
WEBKIT_DISABLE_COMPOSITING_MODE=1 garuda-rani
or
WEBKIT_DISABLE_DMABUF_RENDERER=1 garuda-rani
Alternatively a new garuda-rani-git will be in repo after finishing compiling. I’ve just pushed an update to set WEBKIT_DISABLE_DMABUF_RENDERER=1, which allowed the app to work for 10+ minutes straight for me. It also disabled any blur, so I’m really fed up with it. The maintainer’s most recent answer kind of confirmed it:
Those vars, at least the compositing one, should mainly reduce performance. That blur is removed as well is a bit wild but I guess it makes sense if it’s GPU rendered only or only available in the new renderer.
60 fps limit could be possible, it’s on macOS as well and since both are webkit it sounds likely. webkitgtk may expose a setting for that as opposed to wkwebview but I can’t look into it right now.
It has ass performance for anything animated tho, especially with those env vars set so an fps limit may be irrelevant lol
aaaaaaaah why does Electron look so good now..

After this update, I have not managed to replicate the crashes

An electron rewrite is about 70% done.
I got way too fed up with random WebviewGTK issues, the now degraded performance and missing blur to not do it, even though going electron is a pact with the devil.
As application logic has pretty much not been changed at all (just exchanged imports and implemented tauri functions on the node node process), it should be very easy to switch back to Tauri once they have a proper working webview provider for Linux (either Servo or CEF, other platforms don’t have these issues).

im not sure if it will improve webview but with Orion making a proper webkit browser hopefully it will mean some good things pushed upstream.

Here is an experimental version of the rewritten app in its current state. From what I can tell most of it works. There is a weird design issue when jobs are scheduled when packaged, gotta fix this still.

Looks really good, though forum, telegram, mastodon, blusky. and irc are slow to load in an have no placeholder icon. The gaming tab, none of the links there show either. they pop up for a split second an poof. everything else seems to be working and working fine.
I don’t remember if “Further pkgs” was always there but its a really nice touch. For electron its not bad at all. Though to move the app around after resizing it there’s no drag point even at the top, so using meta left click hold is a must.

It is really weird, from what I can tell the missing icons are only outside of dev mode. Meh.
What do the logs say when you navigate to the gaming tab?
As for moving around, yes. I guess that needs to be implemented still.
the logs are,

though ive only opened this on nix an not arch so that might be the reason. ill give it a try there
*edit - Yeah works fine in mokka its only the main pages social links that don’t show.

I don’t have gnome set up to test how it would appear without them it should provide a serverside title bar but im not so sure anymore with them

Here’s another build for testing. I don’t want to push it to everyone on -git yet until most things are fixed, so AppImages it is for now. Haha.
Especially, this lets GNOME or GTK env people test how it looks on their DE. Also test the appmenu please.

Most all seems good to me. it handles window decoration changes fine on kde.
However its missing the indication on the “Show Terminal” when you have added something such as lact from gaming or anything from Further packages.
Also in gaming under games there is a empty space
but the global menu works perfectly.
I do really like appimage testing it feel faster since I can just open and go no waiting for pacman. If I get some time later I’ll spin up a gnome box and test it there.

Yes, it broke, and I’ve now moved it somewhere else (people missed it, probably because of not being a separate point). See this:
Here you can either apply or cancel with the dropdown.
That search got requested by @tbg, and it lets you search and navigate the app by keywords, e.g.:
I’m so happy when this refactoring is finally done and the focus can be on features again. Much more fun.

since it is …electron now could there be a direct link to the pkg search for arch and the aur? that just opens in app and use the pkg download to install the app or at least show a search. with a copy button that can be used to paste in terminal. haha I’m just thinking of random hard to do features.

I guess there is a misconception about what it used to be before, haha.
Tauri is also using a browser engine to render the GUI (sucky WebkitGTK on Linux).
In theory that’s possible, however I don’t want to display random web content in that renderer. What would be better looking and probably even easier is simply querying the AUR RPC endpoint via the app directly. Then resolving user actions is a given.
Anything is nicer then electron 
haha. but true that might be better well maybe foe something a year or more down the line. it would be cool if after doing that task it forced a update. just to cover the partial update issue people would have. I still hope webkit gtk improves. but will have to wait an see. I’ll add the resent update to it on news cause its quite nice to see

Absolutely agree! But it’s still better than the WebKitGTK drama.
New build, if that’s stable enough I’ll push the current state to the -git package:
This is also fixed btw (same for package lists and other things showing packages). We had to filter the list of packages before using it with Angular control flow.
