badwolf stoped working

[Member PPC]

I’ve been a long time badwolf browser user, specially on my netbook. Yesterday I noticed that it stopped working on my netbook, after I updated antiX ( 19.X, 64bits).
Today, after running update on my Desktop ( 19.X, 64bits) e noticed the same problem.
Here’s the output I get:

$ badwolf

(badwolf:6447): dbind-WARNING **: 21:06:44.219: Error retrieving accessibility bus address: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name org.a11y.Bus was not provided by any .service files

** (badwolf:6447): ERROR **: 21:06:44.358: GApplication is required for xdg-desktop-portal access in the WebKit sandbox.
Trace/breakpoint trap

I tried installing Midori browser on my netbook and got a similar error… Is there anything wrong with webkit?
Also: I tried purging and reinstalling badwolf, After doing that I got the above error…
I have no shortage of browsers but any and all help is apreciated…

I just installed badwolf, then got the same errors as you got when I ran it.

However, installing midori & running it got this:

$ midori

(midori:8612): dbind-WARNING **: 18:27:05.929: AT-SPI: Error retrieving accessibility bus address: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name org.a11y.Bus was not provided by any .service files

(WebKitWebProcess:8652): dbind-WARNING **: 18:27:07.340: AT-SPI: Error retrieving accessibility bus address: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name org.a11y.Bus was not provided by any .service files

And the browser ran for about 1 minute. After I got to antixlinux.com, then tried to log in, it lost its mind:

(WebKitWebProcess:10994): dbind-WARNING **: 18:31:07.017: AT-SPI: Error retrieving accessibility bus address: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name org.a11y.Bus was not provided by any .service files
WebKit wasn't able to find a WebVTT encoder. Not continuing without platform support for subtitles.

And at this point, it wouldn’t load anything anymore.
So I think you are right about webkit…

Same Badwolf issue here; used to work just fine. Any ideas for remedy?

I don't care if people hate my guts; I assume most of them do. The important question is whether they are in a position to do anything about it.

Some days ago all browsers that used Webkit stopped working on antiX… Let’s wait and see if anyone can fix this…

Is it only on antiX-19 or also on antiX-21?

Philosophers have interpreted the world in many ways; the point is to change it.

antiX with runit - leaner and meaner.

I just tried on my antiX 21 runit, 64bits, on VirtualBox live- I get the same problem, trying to run badwolf…

@anticapitalista
I literally googled the error (unfortunately trusty old duckduckgo didn’t help me on this one) I got and found a “fix”: open the terminal and type:
export WEBKIT_FORCE_SANDBOX=0

I tried this:
export WEBKIT_FORCE_SANDBOX=0 ; badwolf

and badwolf ran just fine… but I confess that I’m not sure if force disabling sandboxing is a positive thing…
With this info in had, is there anything that can be done to solve this problem?
