[Vincent OS | Linux] WebSM does not start

Info

Difficulty level: ⭐

This issue can happen if you are using a Wayland session, WebSM is build with Uno Platformn, which currently, have issues supporting Wayland sessions due to WebView2 limitations.

Tip

The Flatpak version of WebSM is configured to use the X11 backend, so using the Flatpak version of WebSM can be a workaround for this issue.

To launch WebSM on X11 backend, add the following environment variable:

GDK_BACKEND=x11 websm
# Or if you are using the Lite version
GDK_BACKEND=x11 websm-lite

This will force WebSM to use the X11 backend, and should allow it to start correctly.
