Cannot run suckless surf: (WebKitWebProcess:76198): GLib-CRITICAL **

Hello I am unsure why I cannot run surf on my PC, it works fine on my arch laptop.

Here is the output I get everytime I run surf:

(WebKitWebProcess:76198): GLib-CRITICAL **: 22:16:58.735: the GVariant format string 'i' has a type of 'i' but the given value has a type of '(ii)'

(WebKitWebProcess:76198): GLib-CRITICAL **: 22:16:58.735: g_variant_get: assertion 'valid_format_string (format_string, TRUE, value)' failed

I would very much appreciate the help!

Did you try to recompile surf?

Can you compare the versions of webkit on both computers?

Re: Cannot run suckless surf: (WebKitWebProcess:76198): GLib-CRITICAL **

Hello,
I have the same issue so I would appreciate any help. I have two notebooks both with webkit2gtk-2.30.5-1 installed and I recompiled surf on both. On the first one surf runs just fine and on the second one I get the same error baxis described.
However I noticed that on the notebook where surf functions I get more warnings when compiling so there must be a difference but I don't know where to look. These are the warnings I get only on the notebook where it works:

The OP (baxis) has not been back since last December, so I am going to consider this thread abandoned and close it.

baxis, if you come back and want this thread reopened, please use the Report link to let staff know.
