brave browser fails to start : passthrough is not supported GL is egl

Installed brave browser using

  git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/brave-bin.git
  cd brave-bin
  makepkg -si


Install goes and goes to ok...


On starting the application from CLI, system returns immediatly and posts  :

libva error: vaGetDriverNameByIndex() failed with unknown libva error, driver_name = (null)
[62316:62316:0522/211048.168967:ERROR:gpu_init.cc(426)] Passthrough is not supported, GL is egl

Tried:
/usr/bin/brave  --use-gl=egl
/usr/bin/brave --ignore-gpu-blocklist --enable-gpu-rasterization --use-gl=egl
/usr/bin/brave --ignore-gpu-blocklist --enable-gpu-rasterization --use-gl=desktop

brave runs fine when accessing via ssh -X

That suggests something is wrong with your hardware video acceleration setup.
How that needs to be setup depends on which video cards/drivers you have, see https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Hardwa … celeration .

Not possible, what comes closest is moderators moving posts/threads to the dustbin.
If you want that, report the post.


Disliking systemd intensely, but not satisfied with alternatives so focusing on taming systemd.

Ah yes, hardware... You mean like Guest Additions?

Yup. That'd be it Grasshopper.

The message is still there but the browser comes up.
