@lah7 on a fresh install of a fully updated Ubuntu MATE 17.10 daily image I see that Welcome is "freezing" when loading via the auto start. However, if launched from a terminal it works reliably.

> Does anyone think the move from GTK2 to GTK3 might be part of the issue or is that just a coincidence? Likely just coincidence - this "white screen" problem has happened to 16.04 users too, and I've known it to happen to another WebKit2-based application too. The problem bizarrely just goes away with general system updates. However, this is a tough one to fix, as it isn't a fault of Welcome but rather the WebKit2 library it depends on. Please check dmesg for errors or stack traces, which will help determine a bug report for the WebKitGTK developers. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1658996 Title: welcome stays empty To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntu-mate-welcome/+bug/1658996/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 1658996] Re: welcome stays empty
Hi everyone. I had this same issue of blank Welcome/Software Boutique with Ubuntu MATE 17.04 on VirtualBox 5.1.22 with the guest additions installed. However, I managed to fix it by disabling 3D acceleration (and disabling the VBOX graphics adapter beforehand). However, the Welcome screen and the Software Boutique do work with 3D acceleration with Ubuntu MATE 16.04 LTS.

[Bug 1658996] Re: welcome stays empty
I have the same issue of a blank all white Welcome screen when installing Ubuntu Mate 17.04 on VirtualBox 5.1.20 on both my laptop and desktop. The Welcome screen is visible at first but as soon as I install the guest additions that let me use full screen mode the Welcome screen and Software Boutique stop working and are just all white windows.

I had no luck trying sudo apt-get remove ubuntu-mate-welcome sudo apt-get install ubuntu-mate-welcome Trying Ubuntu Mate 16.10 in Virtualbox on the laptop results in the same issue once the guest additions are installed to allow full screen mode. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1658996 Title: welcome stays empty To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntu-mate-welcome/+bug/1658996/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 1658996] Re: welcome stays empty
I'm running Ubuntu MATE in an Odroid XU4 and had the same problem after an update (can't really say which). The solution I've found is to remove the Mate package and install it back again: sudo apt-get remove ubuntu-mate-welcome sudo apt-get install ubuntu-mate-welcome After installing ubuntu-mate-welcome, the screen is no longer rendering in Blank, plus the DPI warning is still showing up when running it via terminal despite the app running normally.

[Bug 1658996] Re: welcome stays empty
Before I did see the last comment I did some more tests. I upgraded vbox (from 5.1.16 to 5.1.18) together with the guest additions. This removed the library loading problem.

[Bug 1658996] Re: welcome stays empty
Unfortunately, there isn't much on Welcome's end that can be done to "fix" this. This strange (and difficult to diagnose) issue is caused by external libraries failing leading to a segfault/error with the WebKitWebView process, which is responsible for rendering the window. On some other software I maintain, another user had a blank screen issue like this, but it was caused by a library named "libc". Bizarrely, the issue went away after their system (16.04) was updated. The "DPI out of range" is just a warning, this isn't the problem. As this is affecting a development build (17.04), please could you try again on a fresh install of 17.04? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1658996 Title: welcome stays empty To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntu-mate-welcome/+bug/1658996/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

This is most likely an issue with WebKit2, the library used for rendering HTML. Please could you check the last few lines of dmesg when this happens again?
