OS | Linux

Version/Channel Information:

Stable 1.13.82 and Beta 1.14.65

• Can you reproduce this issue with the current release? Yes
• Can you reproduce this issue with the beta channel? Yes
• Can you reproduce this issue with the nightly channel? Haven't tested

Other Additional Information:

• Does the issue resolve itself when disabling Brave Shields? No
• Does the issue resolve itself when disabling Brave Rewards? No
• Is the issue reproducible on the latest version of Chrome? No

Miscellaneous Information:

Temporarily fixed by copying libEGL.so, libGLESSv2.so and the swiftshader directory from the usr/lib/chromium directory to the brave-bin directory as these files seem to be missing resulting in the WebGL and OpenGL errors.

[whnr]

I can confirm this issue.

[urbenlegend]

I can confirm this issue as well. This drastically reduces the performance of Brave on Linux platforms and also prevents it from painting to the screen at higher than 60hz according to vsynctester.com.

Might be the same root cause as https://github.com/brave/brave-browser/issues/9824

[antonok-edm]

It looks like our .zip packages from https://github.com/brave/brave-browser/releases are missing a few files as compared to the .deb packages. In particular, ./opt/brave.com/brave/libGLESv2.so, ./opt/brave.com/brave/libEGL.so, ./opt/brave.com/brave/swiftshader/libGLESv2.so, ./opt/brave.com/brave/swiftshader/libEGL.so are only present in the .deb. That would cause issues like seen above:

[1038:1038:0828/124330.685442:ERROR:gl_implementation.cc(286)] : Failed to load /usr/lib/brave-bin/libGLESv2.so: > /usr/lib/brave-bin/libGLESv2.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I've been able to reproduce this on Arch Linux, which installs from the .zip releases. @fmarier was unable to reproduce on Ubuntu 18.04 or Debian unstable, which both use the .deb releases.

@urbenlegend @whnr @themew are you all using Arch, Manjaro, or some other distribution which uses the .zip release?

[urbenlegend]

@antonok-edm That's a great observation! Yes I am on Arch (well technically EndeavourOS), and I am using the brave-bin AUR package.

[themew]

@antonok-edm Yes, using Arch Linux and installing from AUR using yay. The files you noticed were missing are the files I suggested in the 'fix' at the bottom of my original post. Glad to know I wasn't imagining it :) Issues are in the brave-bin and brave-beta-bin.

[whnr]

Same here, brave-bin from the AUR on Arch.

I confirm the issue. Using brave-bin in Gentoo Linux.
Before 1.13.x, WebGL was working. Tried with 1.12.114.

EDIT: only the .deb file provides the missing libraries in order to run *GL, so I had to repackage Brave from the .deb in order to make it work.

Might be related to https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=1121782 - just shared this issue there. Will need to look into this

Appears to be a debian bug. The issue described here seems to only affect arch-based distros.

[bsclifton]

Good call, @themew - maybe that is related to https://github.com/brave/brave-browser/issues/9824 or https://github.com/brave/brave-browser/issues/8436. Either way, definitely of interest to us 😄

We should be able to have someone look at this soon. Thanks for your patience 😄

Or any distro who uses the zip-packaged prebuilt Brave.

[antonok-edm]

We're working to get this fixed, but in the meantime I've had success with the following workaround:

1. Download the corresponding .deb file for your Brave version from https://github.com/brave/brave-browser/releases
2. Extract the contents of the .deb file using the ar utility - e.g. ar x brave-browser_1.13.82_amd64.deb
3. Extract the contents of the newly extracted data.tar.xz file using the tar utility - tar xvJf data.tar.xz

4. Check the "Log Messages" section at the bottom of brave://gpu and take note of the directory in the following error:

   Failed to load <DIRECTORY>/libGLESv2.so: <DIRECTORY>/libGLESv2.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
   

   On my machine and in the original report, <DIRECTORY> is /usr/lib/brave-bin.

5. Copy the newly extracted files opt/brave.com/brave/libGLESv2.so and opt/brave.com/brave/libEGL.so into <DIRECTORY>.
6. Restart Brave.
