"failed to create drawable" error on multiple apps

[liber]

Hello,

This is my first post on this forum, so bear with me please.

I first encountered the issue when installing calibre, and trying to open a book in the viewer. Since the viewer appeared to start and then immediately crash, I tried to launch the application from the terminal. This is the output (application crashing right after drawing the frame):

Very similar output for ebook-edit:

I tried to move to another app, foliate. This one starts, but it shows the same error (while still running):

Code: Select all

foliate

After going to the library in foliate and opening a book, a couple of times, it crashes too:

Finally, I tried to open an .EPUB file with atril (this one starts, but crashes when trying to open a file):

GhostBSD was installed pretty recently, minimal additions to the list of default apps.

Code: Select all

Since some of the errors mentioned glx, I checked the logs to see if the module is loaded. The relevant section of the /var/log/Xorg.0.log file:

Code: Select all

[    11.653] (II) "glx" will be loaded. This was enabled by default and also specified in the config file.

I saw the bugs and issues should be posted on Github, but considering my problem appears to involve multiple apps (on multiple toolkits, as far as I can tell), I figured it's a good chance there's some configuration problem that I'm missing. Though those errors look like something that shouldn't appear on a fresh install of an app.

All the applications were installed with pkg, not ports. So, for the applications mentioned here, my commands were basically:

Code: Select all

pkg install calibre
pkg install foliate

[RodMyers]

How did you install calibre?

pkg or source?

[liber]

I installed from packages - commands in the last paragraph above.
I haven't installed anything from source, so no mixed install on the system.

[chadbsd]

Make the software maintainers aware of the issue.
They would be very interested in this issue and be
able to resolve the issue.

(1) Calibre's maintainer is madpilot@FreeBSD.org
(2) Foliate's maintainer is fox@FreeBSD.org.

[neville]

Have you tried okular?

[nevets]

There's on old issue with incompatibility with LibreOffice too.

Not sure if this remains in current OS version.

I will definitely do that, but I'd like to have confirmation that this happens to other people too (with a similar GhostBSD 24.01.1 install maybe) - to eliminate the possibility of a misconfiguration on my side.
It's very easy to test - simply pkg install, then launch ebook-viewer. No need for a calibre database.
Also, before reporting upstream I should probably try to see if it works in a fresh FreeBSD install, but that would take quite a bit of time to test.

Weird, I installed the same and from the terminal for both calibre & ebook-viewer;

I tested all the apps mentioned above in:
- fresh FreeBSD 14.0 install with KDE (latest)
- fresh FreeBSD 14.0 install with Mate (latest)
- fresh FreeBSD 14.0 install with Mate (quarterly)
In all scenarios, the errors persisted.
So, the problems are definitely upstream, not GhostBSD specific.

It took a while. I'll try to report it upstream.
