Fedora 27 - webkitgtk no longer supported

[jamey]

Hi all, I recently upgraded to Fedora 27. Only afterward did I come to find out webkitgtk is no longer in the repos and Fedora has dropped the package as of the Fedora 27 release.

Is anyone aware of a workaround? I manually downloaded and installed the Fedora 26 webkitgtk but it fails hard with issues involving undefined symbols.

performing an ldd -r against the package:

ldd -r  /lib64/libwebkitgtk-1.0.so.0

shows these issues at the bottom.

undefined symbol: cairo_gl_surface_get_width (/lib64/libwebkitgtk-1.0.so.0)
undefined symbol: cairo_egl_device_create (/lib64/libwebkitgtk-1.0.so.0)
undefined symbol: cairo_glx_device_create (/lib64/libwebkitgtk-1.0.so.0)
undefined symbol: cairo_gl_surface_get_height (/lib64/libwebkitgtk-1.0.so.0)
undefined symbol: cairo_gl_device_set_thread_aware (/lib64/libwebkitgtk-1.0.so.0)
undefined symbol: cairo_gl_surface_create_for_texture (/lib64/libwebkitgtk-1.0.so.0)

Any assistance would be appreciated.

Thanks a bunch,

Hello Jake,

Thank you for bringing this to our attention. We'll attempt to run some testing against Fedora 27 and confirm the problem.  If confirmed, we will file a bug report on this issue. 

[jamey]

Great thank you! looking forward to the results.

Also, I tried to remove all of my packages and start fresh. To show my current process and point of getting stuck.

I had to also install xulrunner.

Process: 

rpm -ivh ps-pulse-linux-5.3r3.0-b1021-centos-rhel-64-bit-installer.rpm

I then run: 

sudo /usr/local/pulse/PulseClient_x86_64.sh install_dependency_packages

(this complaints about xulrunner and webkitgtk) 

I grab a rpm for both in this case:

xulrunner-44.0-9.fc26.x86_64.rpm

webkitgtk-2.4.11-5.fc26.x86_64.rpm

installation of xulrunner goes fine.

rpm -ivh xulrunner-44.0-9.fc26.x86_64.rpm

try to install webkitgtk:

rpm -ivh webkitgtk-2.4.11-5.fc26.x86_64.rpm

get this error:

error: Failed dependencies:
	webkitgtk < 2.4.12 is obsoleted by (installed) fedora-obsolete-packages-27-11.noarch

I uninstall the obsolete fedora package:

sudo dnf remove fedora-obsolete-packages-27-11

I can now install the webhitgtk:

rpm -ivh webkitgtk-2.4.11-5.fc26.x86_64.rpm

run the dependency script now works fine but when running the GUI it never comes up.

if I run the GUI from the command line:

 /usr/local/pulse/pulseUi

I'm back to the original issue of missing cairo symbols.

ERROR:

/usr/local/pulse/pulseUi: symbol lookup error: /lib64/libwebkitgtk-1.0.so.0: undefined symbol: cairo_gl_surface_get_width

here is the full output of an ldd -r on the webkitgtk package.

Same problem here, Pulse should recompile PulseUI with the latest version of webkit tk because I am afraid that old this library will be soon depreacted by all the main distributions.

[anonymouscoward]

I've found an ugly workaround.

gnucash package has bundled these old webkitgtk libs into it to overcome this issue.

So I downloaded gnucash rpm from here gnucash-2.6.18-1.fc27.x86_64.rpm

and extracted:

libjavascriptcoregtk-1.0.so -> libjavascriptcoregtk-1.0.so.0.16.19
libjavascriptcoregtk-1.0.so.0 -> libjavascriptcoregtk-1.0.so.0.16.19
libjavascriptcoregtk-1.0.so.0.16.19

libwebkitgtk-1.0.so -> libwebkitgtk-1.0.so.0.22.17
libwebkitgtk-1.0.so.0 -> libwebkitgtk-1.0.so.0.22.17
libwebkitgtk-1.0.so.0.22.17

to /usr/local/pulse

And everything is working now.

Hope this helps...

[jamey · Accepted solution]

Yeah, that's ugly but may hold us over until an official fix is in place! With the Holidays and the possible code rewrite being needed, that could be a while. I use Fedora as my Work OS and Enjoy working from home :-)

NOTE: For those on Fedora 28 try this instead: Fedora 28 workaround

For those who aren't sure how to do this here you go.

1. Make a Directory to work in:

mkdir -p /some/empty/dir

and change to that directory.

cd /some/empty/dir

2. Get the GnuCash package (Don't DNF install it)

wget http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/releases/27/Everything/x86_64/os/Packages/g/gnucash-2.6.18-1.fc27.x86_64.rpm

3. Extract the contents of the package.

rpm2cpio gnucash-2.6.18-1.fc27.x86_64.rpm | cpio -idmv

4. Move the required files to /usr/local/pulse (I'm assuming you have already installed and are now stuck in the same spot we are here)

sudo cp usr/lib64/gnucash/libjavascriptcoregtk-1.0.so.0.16.19 /usr/local/pulse/

sudo cp usr/lib64/gnucash/libwebkitgtk-1.0.so.0.22.17 /usr/local/pulse/

5. Change directory and create soft links.

cd /usr/local/pulse

sudo ln -s libjavascriptcoregtk-1.0.so.0.16.19 libjavascriptcoregtk-1.0.so

sudo ln -s libjavascriptcoregtk-1.0.so.0.16.19 libjavascriptcoregtk-1.0.so.0

sudo ln -s libwebkitgtk-1.0.so.0.22.17 libwebkitgtk-1.0.so

sudo ln -s libwebkitgtk-1.0.so.0.22.17 libwebkitgtk-1.0.so.0

When this is done you should be able to launch the GUI like always and setup your VPN Connection. I've confirmed it works to include 2FA via Duo connection.

Note: You can now remove the rpm and extracted rpm from your system.

sudo rm -rf /some/empty/dir

sudo rm -rf gnucash-2.6.18-1.fc27.x86_64.rpm

It would be nice if PS deliver a NetworkManager plugin and not a standalone application.

[doppiaemme]

Hi,

if you don't need enforcements provided by host checker you can use networkmanager openconnect plugin.

Successfully tested with plasma kde

plasma-nm-openconnect-5.10.5-1.fc27.x86_64
openconnect-7.08-4.fc27.x86_64
NetworkManager-openconnect-1.2.4-6.fc27.x86_64

with PCS 8.1 and 8.3.

Hello,

I've followed all the steps but I continue with the problem.

If I try to execute the GUI using the terminal, i can see next message:

Any idea??

[jamey]

what happens if you run the GUI not using the terminal? Does it launch or does it not come up?

Im thinking because your going directly from the command line you need to first export the LD_LIBRARY location to incluse /usr/local/pulse.

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/usr/local/pulse

if you cat the file located at /usr/share/applications/pulseUi.desktop you will see the application does this for you with the Exec = portion if you launch the GUI as normal.

example of the applications desktop entry file:

#!/usr/bin/env xdg-open
[Desktop Entry]
version=1.0

Exec=/usr/bin/env LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/pulse:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH /usr/local/pulse/pulseUi
