Bug ID: 56378 Summary: Microsoft Edge and Edge-based WebView2 do not function without --no-sandbox option Product: Wine Version: 9.3 Hardware: x86-64 OS: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: -unknown Assignee: wine-bugs@winehq.org Reporter: asdfghrbljzmkd@outlook.com Distribution: ---
Microsoft Edge will freeze about 1-3 seconds after launching.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Download and install WebView2 (which includes Edge) from https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-edge/webview2/ 2. Run:
wine "/PATH/TO/PREFIX/drive_c/Program Files (x86)/Microsoft/EdgeCore/VERSIONNUMBER/msedge.exe" --disable-gpu --no-first-run
Edge will not launch. If you add --no-sandbox to the launch options, it will launch, but freeze after a second or so (https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=56377)
--disable-gpu is required wine wined3d, it can be dropped if using DXVK.
--no-first-run disables the first run prompting you to sign in and such, it has no bearing on this bug itself.
This also affects applications using WebView2, e.g. the Adobe Creative Cloud setup application:
WEBVIEW2_ADDITIONAL_BROWSER_ARGUMENTS="--disable-gpu" wine '/PATH/TO/Creative_Cloud_Set-Up.exe'
Using this at least allows the window to open, though it is blank for reasons currently unknown:
WEBVIEW2_ADDITIONAL_BROWSER_ARGUMENTS="--disable-gpu --no-sandbox" wine '/PATH/TO/Creative_Cloud_Set-Up.exe'
