Delete branch "%!s()"
Deleting a branch is permanent. Although the deleted branch may continue to exist for a short time before it actually gets removed, it CANNOT be undone in most cases. Continue?
When I start gossip in my dwm window manager, I get a black screen.
Here are the logs from the initial startup:
Let me know if there's any other information you need to debug this issue. Maybe it's the
WARNstatement in the log. I get thatWARNevery time I start the application.This is definitely the problem. But it's deeper than the code that I maintain. I would look for similar bugs via google, or filed at one of these repos:
https://github.com/emilk/egui/issues/2661 This issue describes a problem that sounds very similar. The reporter even has an ancient thinkpad (which is what I'm also running while encountering this problem). It sounds like upgrading to glutin 0.30.5 might contain the fix for this bug? I'm happy to compile and test something for you if you'd like.
We are using glutin 0.30.7 on master
Hmm. Well I'm really not sure what else to investigate. I was previously using the 0.6 build from the AUR, but I tried building from master too and that also had the same warning message and black screen problem.

I get a very similar behavior while trying to run the "hello world" application in the egui project. The error is slightly different, but I filed a new bug in the egui project anyways. https://github.com/emilk/egui/issues/3131
I've just upgraded to egui 0.23.0 on the unstable branch. I don't know if that will make a difference or not.
I've just tried recompiling the latest egui "hello world" example and my problem still persists. 🤷🏻 I'm not sure there's any urgency to fix this issue. I seem to be a pretty niche case.
I'm not a rust or egui programmer, but maybe I'll take a stab at trying to fix the problem.
@josephkerkhof egui uses direct graphics interfaces like OpenGL to render it's content. Do other OpenGL programs run on your machine? You might need to update your graphics drivers.
Thank you very much @bu5hm4nn for shoving me in the right direction. I have now installed the arch
mesa-amberpackage on my machine (older hardware) and now egui and gossip work! This is great!
