Libwebkit isn’t actually chromium, it uses blink which is a fork of part of webkit. Understandable confusion though because webkit was part of kde, forked by safari, and then used by through chrome variants for a long time.

The rest of this comment is going to necessarily be nerdy Linux internals. sorry.

Unfortunately, I’m pretty sure chromium includes it inside it’s binary and does provide or use any webkit libraries.

Orca uses it internally for it’s browser so it won’t start unless it has access to the library. When you build a Linux app it includes the name of the library which includes the ABI (basically the version). Newer Linux release include a different version.

You can see how that specific library stops appearing in Ubuntu releases https://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=libwebkit2gtk-4.0-37

The new version is 6.0 I believe.

Appimage is one of the ways you get around this distro problem by including the versions of libraries. That’s why they’re so big. There are problems with that like how big the apps are stale bundled libraries with security issues but I digress.

Orca hasn’t bundled webkit in the appimage and because of another problem/feature of appimage it falls back on the os library. Since new distros have dropped the older obsolete library version orca can’t start.

That’s a lot but I hope it explains the problem better.

I would like to help but my personal computer doesn’t currently have enough memory to compile orca so back to just watching warning people it’s a coming problem for them too.

That’s good. I assume you’ve got the old libwebkit installed somehow. There are a dozen reports around this though so it’s a pretty real problem. https://github.com/SoftFever/OrcaSlicer/issues?q=libwebkit2gtk-4.0.so.37

Ubuntu but it also affects fedora https://github.com/SoftFever/OrcaSlicer/issues/185

The image just isn’t being built correctly which is more a problem with appimages but the fact it’s still broken… Linux is clearly a neglected platform for them.

All the problems I listed have bug reports just nothings happening to fix them.

It was actually 3gb because operating systems have to reserve parts of the memory address space for other things. It’s more difficult for all 32bit operating systems to address above 4gb just most implemented additional complexity much earlier because Linux runs on large servers and stuff. Windows actually had a way to switch over to support it in some versions too. Probably the NT kernels that where also running on servers.

A quick skim of the Wikipedia seems like a good starting point for understanding the old problem.

Appimage doesn’t start because it relies on a system package that does exist anymore, dialogs with grey text on grey backgrounds in dark mode, stl repair not included…

Flatpak is in the works but honestly and hope that helps bit I get better prints out of prusaslicer for some reason so not holding my breath or anything.

Does it work on recent Linux releases yet?

It is. Until recently it actually still used the domain to serve assets.

Buy a ticket to mars. Problem solved.

As a pedestrian in one of the mentioned cities, this is accurate. We have an ok bus network but the schedules are terrible and getting around on foot is dangerous and it’s like 100 degrees out with 90% humidity. Very few people put up with it and literally no one will because of this.

I’ve seen a lot of contractors over promising timelines too. “No matter how hard you push and no matter what the priority, you can’t increase the speed of light.”

But yeah exactly.

No it’s a set of tools you can use to run a project.

My point is that a lot of people use “agile” to mean not planning or don’t put guard rails on scope and they fail. That’s not agile, it’s just bad PM

Feels like the old php metric. PHP had a ton of great code and successful projects but it also attracted very bad devs as well as very inexperienced devs leading to a real quality problem.

Honestly kinda see thing in a lot of JavaScript applications these days. Brilliant code but also a ton of bad code to the point I get nervous opening a new project.

My point? It may be a tough pill but it’s not the project framework that makes projects fail, it’s how the project is run.

Thanks! That makes it weirder… But good to know it’s on my side.

I assume incompetence over malice. Which is to say it’s probably a bug or a mistake setting up the model. The user isn’t selling anything so it really seems like some sort of bug

Is musk really intelligent? He’s not dumb but honestly seems like most of his success is from buying things and or getting smart people under him who are able to succeed despite his medlling. The ideas he forces through tend to be bad. Giga factory was largely a disaster and he had to relearn manufacturing. Giga casting? Dead. A lot of the super heavy stuff he’s directly influenced failed or are drawing out the timeline as the struggle to address. Cybertruck and semi…
