TCL 14.0 32BIT : FIREFOX GLX MISSING

[Rantanplan]

Hello,

My OS: tinycorelinux 14.0 32bit.

When launching Firefox from a terminal, I get the following warnings:

Code: [Select]

[GFX1-]: glxtest: libEGL initialize failed
[GFX1-]: glxtest: GLX extension missing
[GFX1-]: glxtest: libEGL initialize failed
After searching, I see that libEGL is installed :

Code: [Select]

/usr/local/lib/libEGL.so.1.0.0
/usr/local/lib/libEGL.so.1
/usr/local/lib/libEGL.so
However, about the GLX extension, I can't find anything on the machine.
It seems that the absence of this extension is preventing transactions on e-commerce sites.

Where can I find the missing extension?

Thank you for your help.

Friendly.

Hi Rantanplan. Try

Code: [Select]

$ tce-load -wi Xorg-7.7-3dthen reboot. See if your problem goes away after the reboot.

Hello GNUser,

thanks for your reply.

Doesn't work : i can't reboot.

Here, my onboot.lst :

Code: [Select]

Xvesa.tcz
aterm.tcz
wbar.tcz
flwm_topside.tcz
wifi.tcz
iw.tcz
firmware-ralinkwifi.tcz
firmware-rtlwifi.tcz
tc-install-GUI.tcz
kmaps.tcz
alsa-config.tcz
iptables.tcz
alsa.tcz
mylocale.tcz
Probably, the fail explanation.

If I have to install xorg and others packages, I don't want to bother with it.

Thanks again.

Oh, that's a pity. Xvesa is good but very minimalistic. If firefox is complaining about missing 3d graphics, then I think you need full-blown Xorg with OpenGL or it's not going to work. Good luck.

It's very unlikely e-commerce sites would be using 3d graphics for payments. Probably something else is affecting that.

In the meantime, I've been using SliTaz Rolling 5.0 with Firefox 77.

I didn't write down all the warnings.
I'll retest and drop the alarms here.

Thanks

I use Firefox without GLX and it doesn't cause problems with e-commerce websites. Nor should it. I've never needed to run Xorg instead of Xvesa in order to make a website work (though I never try to watch videos in Firefox).

Try creating an new profile in Firefox and see if those websites work with that.

[Rantanplan]

Thank you CNK.

That's an idea I'll try.

See you soon for the result.

Hello all,

changing profile in firefox : impossible to pay
changing firefox version : impossible to pay
changing locale by adding UTF-8 and modifying extlinux.conf by lang=fr_FR.UTF-8 : possible to pay

Thanks for yours ideas.

Friendly.

Thanks for sharing how you got it working. I didn't know that Firefox cared about the system language setting since it has its own setting for that.
