Icecat - WebGL support

Icecat - WebGL support

[Ekaitz Zarraga]

Hi,

I'm unable to use WebGL in IceCat. I've activated all the about:config options related to it and also the preferences checkbox.

But when I visit https://get.webgl.org/ it always says:

"Hmm. While your browser seems to support WebGL, it is disabled or unavailable. If possible, please ensure that you are running the latest drivers for your video card."

On the other hand, ungoogled-chromium handles WebGL by default in my machine. No settings changed.

What am I doing wrong?

Here's[0] a bug report about this, and a solution that let me 
Enter the Cube — from a fresh profile.  Unfortunately, it's 
implied there's some forgotten magic setting on my system that 
makes it work.

Hi,

Thanks for taking the time to answer.

I tried everything in the issue there and it doesn't work.

I don't like chromium but looks like I need to use it for certain things. I'd like to help correcting IceCat's issue but I don't even know how to start.

This makes me sad.

Best,
Ekaitz

Wait a minute! It's working!

But the only way to work is with the LD_LIBRARY_PATH set. I installed mesa and set the LD_LIBRARY_PATH from my command line, an icecat run from the command line works, the one run from the desktop environment doesn't.

So... guix is not setting the LD_LIBRARY_PATH correctly for Mesa and that's why IceCat is unable to find it?

I see icecat is wrapped for pulseaudio to work, so we might as well wrap mesa.

It already has Mesa as an input, too.
Looks like it's just a matter of the LD_LIBRARY_PATH not being set.

Thoughts?

Hi all,

I made this change in the package and it seems to work.

If it looks fine I'll send the patch.

Thanks!
