microsoft-edge-stable 109.0.1518.52-1 on Debian-11-minimal in Qubes?

Copper Contributor

Hello,

 

I have microsoft-edge-stable 109.0.1518.52-1 running on the standard Debian 11 qube in Qubes OS 4.1.1, but I prefer to run it in a Debian-11-minimal qube 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

 

 

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 the Qubes FAQ ( 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.

It creates .dmp files :

'.config/microsoft-edge/Crash Reports/completed/6ff11c55-9aae-45a7-8351-5e8ecb26e05f.dmp'


. . . but how can I read them in Linux ?!

 

The fix was to set locales to C:

export LC_ALL=C
