microsoft-edge-stable 109.0.1518.52-1 on Debian-11-minimal in Qubes?
Hello,
I have microsoft-edge-stable 109.0.1518.52-1 running on the standard Debian 11 qube in https://www.qubes-os.org/, but I prefer to run it in a https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/templates/minimal/ with minimally required packages added.
After adding these:
gnome-keyring
gnome-keyring-pkcs11
policykit-1-gnome
it asked for the keyring password, like Edge on Debian 11.
Any idea what else could be required?
I get these errors if I start Edge on the bash shell:
libva error: vaGetDriverNameByIndex() failed with unknown libva error, driver_name = (null)
[1101:1101:0114/164145.866776:ERROR:viz_main_impl.cc(188)] Exiting GPU process due to errors during initialization
( https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+/HEAD/components/viz/service/main/viz_main_impl.cc source code is in Google Chromium )
Access to the GPU it won't get in Qubes and Video Acceleration API (VA API) won't work either: see https://www.qubes-os.org/faq/#users ( security!)
Edge on the Debian 11 qube reports:
[2734:2734:0115/204311.699138:ERROR:viz_main_impl.cc(188)] Exiting GPU process due to errors during initialization
. . .
[2771:2771:0115/204311.777994:ERROR:gpu_memory_buffer_support_x11.cc(49)] dri3 extension not supported.
not sure what's missing in the minimal qube.
