@ant0n et all, lets keep the comments here about packaging issues, general Brave usage issues should go in another forum to not clutter up this comment space. I'm deleting comments that have no relation to packaging. Grey areas like crashes that could be blamed on Arch can stay until proven otherwise, but things like how to configure Brave to handle popups or site X or whatever just don't belong here. Thanks for understanding.

After the latest upgrade, I'm having graphical corruption issues. Could the latest WebGL patches have something to do with this? After switching to Vulkan as backend, the issues seem to be gone, but it's weird as they one appeared on Brave.

My reported GPU settings:

Graphics Feature Status
Canvas: Hardware accelerated
Flash: Hardware accelerated
Flash Stage3D: Hardware accelerated
Flash Stage3D Baseline profile: Hardware accelerated
Compositing: Hardware accelerated
Multiple Raster Threads: Enabled
Out-of-process Rasterization: Hardware accelerated
OpenGL: Enabled
Hardware Protected Video Decode: Hardware accelerated
Rasterization: Hardware accelerated on all pages
Skia Renderer: Enabled
Video Decode: Hardware accelerated
Vulkan: Enabled
WebGL: Hardware accelerated
WebGL2: Hardware accelerated

If I disable Vulkan, the GPU issues start popping up. If this is an upstream bug, please let me know, just checking if I'm the only one. :)

@maverick1 The .deb uses a completely different structure and a PR is already open upstream to fix the WebGL issue for the .zip; so I'd rather not rework the PKGBUILD specially when the .zip is the official non-Debian distribution of Brave.

This nuisance too, shall pass.

This PKGBUILD downloads both .zip and .deb files. But I have seen people in Solus just packaging it with .deb. I know that you included the .deb package to fix WEBGL stuff. So is there a chance to completely switch to .deb only.

@TripleSpeeder Thanks for the heads up, I just pushed the workaround to do so.

Meaning that IN THE MEANTIME until Brave unfucks their shit in that particular area, everyone will have to download the browser twice on install. Please report in case this workaround works for you, or breaks things even more.

TripleSpeeder commented on 2020-09-08 09:52 (UTC)

Upstream version 1.13.82 broke webGL (and probably all hardware acceleration). The upstream zip release is missing some libraries.

This bug is tracked at https://github.com/brave/brave-browser/issues/11504.

@mixedCase, maybe you can release an interim version that includes the missing libs? See https://github.com/brave/brave-browser/issues/11504#issuecomment-686907258 for instructions :-)

@cikisir Alright, then you can go complain on upstream about the issues you're having or ask for browser recommendations in the forums, IRC, subreddit. This is not the place for it.

mixedCase commented on 2020-07-21 20:36 (UTC)

@cikisir This is not the brave package, this is the brave-bin package. This is a binary package, if you see anything compiling then you're probably installing the other package.

Try installing this package and see if your issues persist.

Thanks for the reports everyone, package has been updated to tolerate yet another of Brave team's fuck-ups where they remove the LICENSE files for whatever reason.
