Description

  • I am on the latest Cerebro.app version.

  • I have searched the issues of this repo and believe that this is not a duplicate.

  • OS version and name: EndeavourOS (Arch linux) Cassini Nova 03-2023 R3 (in a VirtualBox 7.0 VM).

  • Cerebro.app version: 0.11.0 (appimage).

Issue

When I run Cerebro, I get the following in the terminal:

vaGetDriverNameByIndex() failed with unknown libva error, driver_name = (null)
[28866:0914/183344.499215:ERROR:gpu_memory_buffer_support_x11.cc(44)] dri3 extension not supported.
[28810:0914/183344.987424:ERROR:browser_main_loop.cc(270)] Gdk: gdk_window_thaw_toplevel_updates: assertion 'window->update_and_descendants_freeze_count > 0' failed

The app does seem to work properly though.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate why the libva error occurs in VirtualBox and check if it can be safely suppressed or if it indicates a missing configuration. Look for similar issues in the repository and upstream Electron bug reports.
