Badwolf does not work.

[Member Aleph_Sev]

I was trying to test Badwolf but after installing it on my 32bit netbook it won’t open.
From terminal:

‘$ badwolf

I have the same issue. All I can tell is that it has something to do with the interaction between WebKit and xdg-desktop-portal. I don’t have this issue on Fedora, but I do have it with another webkit browser (emacs-webkit) on antiX. Strangely, Midori works fine on antiX, despite also being a WebKit browser.

I’ve tried some things involving installing and manually running xdg-desktop-portal and xdg-desktop-portal-gtk, but so far no luck. The weird thing for me is that all this xdg-desktop stuff has to do with flatpak, which is definitely not installed here.

FIXED: set WEBKIT_FORCE_SANDBOX in your environment to 0. e.g.:

$ WEBKIT_FORCE_SANDBOX=0 badwolf

Same for me, too.
Midori doesn’t work, either:

$ midori

** (midori:9227): CRITICAL **: 10:31:02.344: session.vala:278: Failed add tab to session database: Invalid type 'GParamULong' in statement: 
                INSERT INTO tabs (crdate, tstamp, session_id, uri, title)
                VALUES (:crdate, :tstamp, :session_id, :uri, :title)

perhaps https://www.antixforum.com/forums/topic/badwolf-stoped-working/#post-71934 from PPC
can help.

I’ve corrected the environment variable in my previous post. The WEBKIT_FORCE_SANDBOX=0 workaround works for me.

That Midori issue looks different, though.

It doesn’t solve all the problems for me:

This one makes badwolf run here
export WEBKIT_FORCE_SANDBOX=0 ; badwolf
But as PPC already wrote on the other thread, is it sane to force the disabling of sandboxing?

Obviously, I’ve no idea if it’s sane to force the disabling of sandboxing. I’m just sharing the info that it doesn’t work for me. No need to continue testing if it’s not worth it.
