It's not working on Linux VMs (VirtualBox) - shows white frame/square

[jjnilton]

It shows a white frame/tile when I open, does not show any UI. The VMs have 3D acceleration enabled, any idea what could be the issue?

@jjnilton what Linux distribution do you use?

[jjnilton]

@KELiON Ubuntu GNOME 16.04 host, tried guests: Xubuntu 16.04, Ubuntu MATE 16.04.

I've had that once too, killing all the cerebro processes helped (just make sure to kill all of them, there are many).

But if you repeatedly reproduce this issue over and over again, then it could be something else...

[jjnilton]

I tried to killall cerebro multiple times, but every time I run, it runs like this. Did you do it in a VM?

[maximbaz]

No, not on VM.

Hm, I've just ran killall cerebro two times (apparently the first run doesn't kill all the processes 😕), then started the app and I saw a white screen.

Two times killall cerebro again, and on the next run it's all good... weird.

there is a bug related virtual box and all other programs that use webkit in their stack (google chrome, atom etc... ). You can workaround this issue by following these steps:

1. locate .desktop file: /home/<username>/.local/share/applications/appimagekit-cerebro.desktop
2. Edit .desktop file line:

from:

Exec=/home/hermes/Downloads/cerebro-0.2.6-x86_64.AppImage %U

to:

Exec=/home/hermes/Downloads/cerebro-0.2.6-x86_64.AppImage %U --use-gl=angle

@jjnilton does fix by @megamorphf work for you?

[dovydasgulbinas]

Nice! Closing the issue

[jjnilton]

@KELiON it worked fine with --use-gl=angle! Thanks @megamorphf!
