ERROR:gbm_wrapper.cc(253) Failed to export buffer to dma_buf: No such file or directory

@dathbe I tried to make it dynamically select, but that didn’t work, so its commented out
‘’’ is a bash block comment

someone posted that npm run start:wayland worked for them to clear those errors…

[sdetweil]

@dathbe said in ERROR:gbm_wrapper.cc(253) Failed to export buffer to dma_buf: No such file or directory:

export ELECTRON_DISABLE_GPU=1

the default now is disabled…

and the env var has changed to
export ELECTRON_ENABLE_GPU=1
to turn it on

@sdetweil
No luck. with DISPLAY=:0 npm start, I get the long list of errors, but everything seems to work ok with the mirror. with

WAYLAND_DISPLAY=wayland-1   
   npm run start:wayland

It throws other errors and gets stuck in what seems to be a restart loop.

@dathbe yeh, thats what I found too…
maybe its labwc display now?

from the labwc doc,
https://labwc.github.io/labwc-config.5.html

it sounds like DISPLAY is the correct variable

The autostart file is executed as a shell script after labwc has read its configuration and set variables defined in the environment file. Additionally, the environment variables WAYLAND_DISPLAY and (when labwc is built with Xwayland support) DISPLAY will be defined

@sdetweil

I tried all three options in raspi-config > Advanced > Wayland (those being 1) X11, 2) Wayfire, and 3) Labwc), and was getting the same error on all of them. I went back to Labwc because my understanding is that is the current recommended.

I’ve tried many different combinations. Anything having to do with start:wayland seems to truly fail and get stuck in a restart loop. npm run start:wayland technically works, but throws about 20 ugly error messages on start.

Various options I’ve tried:

# Work with error messages 
DISPLAY=:0 npm start

export ELECTRON_DISABLE_GPU=1
DISPLAY=:0 npm start

export ELECTRON_ENABLE_GPU=1
DISPLAY=:0 npm start 

# Cause endless start loop

npm run start:wayland

export ELECTRON_DISABLE_GPU=1
npm run start:wayland

export ELECTRON_ENABLE_GPU=1
npm run start:wayland

WAYLAND_DISPLAY=wayland-1
npm run start:wayland

DISPLAY=wayland-1
npm run start:wayland

@dathbe restart loop is pm2, its job is to keep the app running

[dathbe]

@sdetweil Ok. When I have some time, I’m going to test an install with 32-bit PiOS.

[sdetweil]

@dathbe 32bit is x11 only . as i recall

[dathbe]

@sdetweil It appears to load labwc by default, but either way it didn’t do anything different – fails to start with start:wayland and multiple phantom errors with start. I guess I just have to close my eyes and not read the logs on startup. Though weird it’s doing it with my Pi 4B, but not my Pi 2B.

@dathbe yeh some config setup, i think something in /boot/config. txt
