I had to downgrade mesa to be able to launch the latest FreeCAD Appimage.

I temporarily went back to version 23.0.3-1

pacman -Q mesa
mesa 23.0.3-1

~~The issue for me has disappeared after running vivaldi without the gpu acceleration and rebooting.~~

The issue came back after closing and re-opening vivaldi.
I have no idea what's happening but it's clearly linked to opengl acceleration not working the way vivaldi expects.

I've downgraded mesa to 23.1.3-1 and now it works all the time.

I had the same problem, but after an upgrade this morning to version 114.0.5735.199-1, the problem seems to be resolved.

Thank you

Edit: universe/ungoogled-chromium is the browser.

Vivaldi is broken completely

Hi to all!

After my last update, I got Vivaldi browser completely broken. It starts with a blank, black screen and is not responding. Unfortunately, I do not possess the necessary skills to troubleshoot this situation, but downgrading to the previous version makes it working again as it should. Broken version in my system is 6.1.3035.111-1, working version is 6.1.3035.100-1.

Not complaining, just with the hope that this info might be useful.

Try starting from the command line with the "--disable-gpu-shader-disk-cache" option, ex.:

Code: [Select]

vivaldi-stable --disable-gpu-shader-disk-cache
# or
/opt/vivaldi/vivaldi-bin --disable-gpu-shader-disk-cache

With chromium it sometimes helps to delete the "GPUCache" cache folder from your profile ( ~/.config/vivaldi/<profile>) but it isn't working with Vivaldi this time... probably need to wait for another update.

I put that into my ~/.config/vivaldi-stable.conf. No need to mess with the command line. It works so far. Thanks for the clue, will wait for the repaired update. Meantime, I got no issues with Chromium or Firefox.

After upgrading mesa 23.1.3-1 => 23.1.3-2, ungoogled-chromium (114.0.5735.134-2 from universe) fails to render most text and images. Reverting the mesa upgrade fixes the issue.

Since no one else has complained, maybe this is hardware dependant?

I also have it with vivaldi-stable (which is chromium-based). Starting it with --disable-gpu makes it render.

My graphics card is Intel UHD Graphics 600.

What might fix the issue - I did not test this - is:
Code: [Select]
rm -rf ~/.config/chromium/GrShaderCache
rm -rf ~/.config/chromium/ShaderCache
rm -rf ~/.config/chromium/Default/GPUCache

I tried this with ~/.config/vivaldi/ -- no success.

Code: [Select]

vivaldi-stable --disable-gpu-shader-disk-cache

This works for me.

maybe the cache is not in".config". do a search for related dirs

Code: [Select]

find -iname '*ShaderCach*'
find -iname '*GPUCache*'

I had the issue on an 2nd pc today.
All that was required to fix it was:

Code: [Select]

rm -rf ~/.config/chromium/*/*Cache
