Crash on Wayland within i915_dri.so
Hello!
I'm running Epiphany on Wayland and it sometimes crashes when previewing a video thumbnail, within i915_dri.so
(mesa) which is used by libgstgl
(gst-plugins-base-libs).
Notes:
- Distribution: Archlinux
- Hardware: Intel SandyBridge HD3000
- It doesn't matter whether
gstreamer-vaapi
is installed or not - It doesn't matter whether
xf86-video-intel
is installed or not (I noticed artifacts and slow(er) drawing on X11 without it) - Crash doesn't happen on X11
I struggle to reproduce it and first suspected gstreamer-vaapi
but that wasn't involved. Maybe you can reproduce it yourself with a search via Google:
-
https://www.google.de/search?q=xiaomi+qin+2+pro+jemz+space
Depending on profile and search history: https://www.google.de/search?q=xiaomi+mi+mini+phone - Look for "Xiaomi Qin 2 Pro: The worlds's Smallest Android Phone ..." with 18:01 minutes
- Move your mouse slowly over the search result header or video thumbnail
- Epiphany launches autoplay of the video thumbnail
- Keep hovering the thumbnail while the preview plays, move the pointer maybe a little and wait at least five seconds
- The tab should crash
Maybe this is related to #1529 (closed) but it doesn't contain any hints so far. I cannot say if it is caused by Epiphany, WebKit, Gstreamer, Mesa or Linux.
Thank you
Peter
PS: Crash seems to be well contained within the WebKit-Process, all other tabs keep running reliable
