Otter Browser Forum / Need debugging tips (search hangs)
OBJECTIVE
So I'm trying to get otter-browser working on this thing:
http://b2b.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=5269#ov
ISSUE
I built Otter Browser from a different computer and copied it, as well as the dependencies over to the target. After a while, I was able to get Otter Browser to run on the Linux framebuffer. Mouse, keyboard and widgets are working. The problem is, typing anything into any search box and pressing enter causes the browser to lock up. In fact, I don't even need to type any text: the cursor is blinking in the search box so if I just press enter, the browser, keyboard and mouse lock up. I have to kill bash from ssh to regain control.
I suspect the browser is actually not locking up but crashes/terminates.
INVESTIGATION DONE SO FAR
I set "export QML_IMPORT_TRACE=1" and "export QT_DEBUG_PLUGINS=1" and run the app like this:
Code: [Select]
strace ./otter-browser -platform linuxfb -plugin EvdevKeyboard:/dev/input/event0 -plugin evdevmouse > otter-running.txt 2>&1
After running the browser and before triggering the problem, I added the line, "------------- okay up to here ----------------". There isn't really anything after that except:
Code: [Select]
Process 3606 detached
<detached ...>
FINALLY, MY QUESTION
It's likely I failed to add a needed dependency though, I'm not sure what it could be. What can I do to figure out what the problem is? Are there other ways to debug Otter Browser while running on the Linux framebuffer?
Sincere thanks and fantastic Qt5 work!
