Running WebGPU on Guix and ThinkPad T480

Architecture Hoot: Guile in WASM

May be you know how to set up webgpu on Guix/ThinPad T480?

Or at least how to debbug this issue. I have tried sway, gnome, firefox nightly and chrome-unstable (with flags) from nonguix repo, but nothing helps me.

Chrome prints me

[2938:2938:0309/160927.601838:ERROR:angle_platform_impl.cc(44)] Display.cpp:1052 (initialize): ANGLE Display::initialize error 12289: glXQueryExtensionsString returned NULL

And firefox:

Hi @liltechdude! I don’t think we can offer much help on this particular issue. I haven’t actually used WebGPU for myself, yet. All I know is that I tried with Chrome once and it didn’t work. I opened an issue with nonguix awhile back and it was closed with a fix. Unfortunately, the fix didn’t work for me but I moved on with other things and didn’t follow up. You could try adding a comment to the issue to reopen it: WebGPU doesn't work in Chrome (stable or unstable) (#279) · Issues · Nonguix / nonguix · GitLab

Thanks @dthompson, I report my experience on GitLab. Is there any features for “closing” threads or something like this?

I’m not a Discourse expert but I didn’t see anything obvious and I haven’t seen anyone else close a thread so it’s fine to just leave it like this. :slight_smile:

At the OP’s request, this topic is closed. If anyone would like it re-opened, just let us know.
