Description of the issue: Installed web apps fail to launch on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS with error message MESA-INTEL: warning: cannot initialize blitter engine
from the .desktop
files generated as shortcuts. They launch properly from the brave://apps panel.
How can this issue be reproduced?
- Open a website that can be “installed” as a web app and install it.
- Navigate to
brave://apps
and ensure the app can launch in its own window. - Right-click the app and add a desktop shortcut.
- Right-click the
.desktop
file on the desktop and select “Allow launching” - Double-click the app shortcut to launch the app window.
Expected result:
The app should open and be functional.
Brave Version( check About Brave
): 1.69.153
Additional Information:
The error message can be seen by setting Terminal to True in the .desktop file or by manually running the Exec command in a terminal. When I was running Ubuntu 22.04 LTS a few days ago I did not experience this problem.
