Browser doesn't start

Applications
#1

just this, after doing successful update to 4.5.0.16 the browser doesn’t start
There’s also nothing in the console.
This is the only output:

$ sailfish-browser
[D] unknown:0 - Using Wayland-EGL

#2

Try:

/usr/bin/invoker --type=browser,silica-qt5 -A -- /usr/bin/sailfish-browser
#3

the same result - nothing.

#4

Does the same with other official app?
Maybe the wasn’t applied correctly.

What are the results as root:

pkcon refresh
pkcon update
#5

Perhaps browser debugging reveals something useful:

Having said that, the go-to suspect in browser-related issues is corrupted profile. It should pop up in the debug output, I think.

#6

this:

MOZ_LOG="AudioStream:5,MediaFormatReader:5,MediaSource:5" sailfish-browser youtube.com

shows nothing, as before.

btw it would be maybe worth considering to change youtube.com to example.com :wink:

#7

There are a metric ton of modules to log:

I don’t think you need anything after sailfish-browser in the command, as it’s the startup itself that buggers.

Have you done an extra reboot after the 4.5.0 upgrade?

#8

just the one reboot needed after upgrade. The problem is that there’s no log, no errors, no debug I can get anything past the:

$ sailfish-browser
[D] unknown:0 - Using Wayland-EGL

I think it’s the problem before even log system initializes but I can be wrong

@pherjung the output of pkcon commands are here:

No packages require updating to newer versions.

For the other apps: Gallery, Camera, Messages, Clock, Terminal, Jolla Shop, Sound recorder all are starting and working.

PR are welcome.

#10

nor sure I understand what you have in mind.

#11

If you want, you can provide a PR to change youtube.com to example.com.

#12

ah ok… sure… but right now, browser that doesn’t start up is more important.

@pherjung does it ring any bell? I skipped the -A flag

it seems that killing booster-browser helped.
Could be also that sailfish-browser-searchengines removing and installing back did the trick.
