Describe the bug

making a build of the desktop app results in it launching with a white screen, however if you move your mouse around it's clearly reacting to clickables in the UI.

This is a bug I've experienced with Wails before, easily fixed with this option:

			WebviewGpuPolicy:    linux.WebviewGpuPolicyNever,

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Go to '...'
2. Click on '....'
3. Scroll down to '....'
4. See error

Expected behavior

Builds created for linux x11 should render the UI

@airtonix This seems like a webkit issue wailsapp/wails#2977. Could you try export WEBKIT_DISABLE_DMABUF_RENDERER=1.

[airtonix]

@ananthakumaran looks like this PR has been merged: wailsapp/wails#3027

and you just need to update to the latest version of wails.

I ran into this issue trying use webkit2gtk on arch linux (with an nvidia card) and I was able to fix it without setting WEBKIT_DISABLE_DMABUF_RENDERER=1.

Here is how I fixed it:

1. Check if you have modesetting enabled via

    cat /sys/module/nvidia_drm/parameters/modeset
   

2. If you see printed N then you need to enable it with

    echo options nvidia_drm modeset=1 | sudo tee /etc/modprobe.d/nvidia_drm.conf
   

3. Restart your computer
