Volla & Volla 22, WebView problem and irony of ironies

poetaster · 22 November 2022 10:15

This weekend I needed to install a fresh GS290 / Volla and while at it also did a GS5 install. Obviously two different devices with different base images from @piggz.

EDIT (tldr): In short, it looks like you need to be careful when restoring backups that newer prefs for the WebView can be written. Look for ~.local/share/org.name/appname/PREFS_WRITTEN files. If those are there, it’s possible that ~.cache/share/org.name/appname/.mozzila/prefs.js file is not correctly written.

All went well and I restored a bunch of data and confirmed that all systems where go. Then I went back to updating QtWebkit components to the new WebViews. Only, all the WebViews I’d already ported no longer work! Very confusing. I’ve tried re-installing the component but that doesn’t help. So everything looks like it’s being done in desktop mode! The second picture shows what happens when you resize.

I explicitly set something like:

httpUserAgent: “Mozilla/5.0 (Android 10; Mobile; rv:78.0) Gecko/78.0 Firefox/78.0”
httpUserAgent: “Mozilla/5.0 ( Mobile; rv:78.0) Gecko/78.0 Firefox/78.0”

What could be wrong? It’s the same issue with both phones!

Even more odd. QtWebkit is also installed but those webviews are coming up BLACK.

What have I done. It’s completely different installs!

EDIT: could someone with a volla or gs5 please send me the output they get for

zypper pa -i

I’m losing it.

Actually I see thw same strange behaviour of webview on my XA2Ultra (4.4.0.72)

poetaster · 22 November 2022 16:13

Yeah, it’s not me. I just re-flashed one of the devices and it’s something with the undercarriage. Sigh.

I suppose the E-Mail-Client also use WebView, because on some Newsletter i have the same behaviour like seen in Post #1.

No idea how to upload a log here.
it only allows images

poetaster · 22 November 2022 18:17

I know it’s a pain, but cut and paste

that are the first 50000 of 65000

poetaster · 22 November 2022 20:12

Thanks! This is actually helpful I have some odd discrepancies in my builds.

poetaster · 23 November 2022 07:16

Looks like you are using .68? I have 1.53.23-1.33.1.jolla with .72 on GS290 / Volla.

poetaster · 23 November 2022 22:13

heh. It’s evil and NOT an answer (but I have work to do).

If you care: I downgraded to .64

ssu re 4.4.0.64; ssu ur; zypper ref; zypper dup
ssu re 4.4.0.72; ssu ur; zypper ref; zypper up

Notice that the last command does NOT do a dist upgrade. Then everything works on the GS290/Volla.

DON’T do this on your phone Unless you have a spare daily.

ssu re 4.4.0.72; ssu ur; zypper ref; zypper up

Does this always work to update a Community-Port to newest SailfishOS-Version?

I have this Sailfish on Linux-Bootstick, found here in the Forum, but it Version is 4.0.xx.

poetaster · 24 November 2022 08:33

@piggz had released 4.4.0.72 for community. It included fixes for video recording. I’m still not quite sure what’s going on (maybe qtscenegraph-adaptation, maybe not), but something changed for the worse between 4.4.0.64 and .72 and I can only experiment

poetaster · 24 November 2022 17:03

For reference, I’m putting any details I find here: WebView produces incorrect screen.height, window.innerHeight values - #5 by poetaster

since it’s directly related.

happend to me that i got that

Checking for file conflicts: …[error]
Detected 1 file conflict:

File /etc/dbus-1/system.d/org.sailfishos.fingerprint1.conf
from install of
sailfish-fpd-1.5.0-1.4.1.jolla.aarch64 (jolla)
conflicts with file from install of
sailfish-fpd-community-1.1.2-1.1.2.jolla.aarch64 (adaptation-community)

File conflicts happen when two packages attempt to install files with the same name but different contents. If you continue, conflicting files will be replaced losing the previous content.

ssu re 4.4.0.72; ssu ur; zypper ref; zypper up

Is this really ‘zypper up’ or is this a typo and should be ‘zypper dup’?

pawel.spoon · 28 November 2022 08:20

Hi,
when i do downgrade, at least the sign the two up/down arrows do appear. however calls (outbound) are still not possible

poetaster · 28 November 2022 09:36

Yeah, should be dup for dist upgrade. I’ve made the error a couple of times just doing an habitual ‘up’ … that’ll get you most of the way but leaves some config and possibly packages in a mess state.
