Problem launching the aarch64 Build

Post by leothetechguy » 2026-01-30, 09:02

I wanted an alternative browser since I rarely have a few compatiblity issues with my hardened firefox profile, but the aarch64 build doesn't load on my computer:

Code: Select all

XPCOMGlueLoad error for file /home/leo/Basilisk/basilisk-20260122223522.linux-aarch64-gtk3/basilisk/libxul.so:
libdbus-glib-1.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Couldn't load XPCOM.
Running fedora 42 asahi remix. Any Libraries I need to install?

requires dbus-glib on fedora, similar package needed for debain probably. I know it's stupid to open an issue only to close it 5 seconds later, but maybe this could be documentted somewhere.

I've made sure to mention it on the system requirements page on the website.
Apparently distros are moving to GDbus, but since we need to retain support for gtk2 (even on gtk3 builds, because of NPAPI), libdbus is required for our mainline builds.
