No UI on NUC8i3BEHS

[Ron Even]

Hi

I've installed the Workstation x64 version of Fuchsia on NUC8i3BEHS, and every shell-related function works.

When I try running the running web browser with:

tiles_ctl start

tiles_ctl add https://google.com

Nothing shows, and the logs say:

I did find root_presenter.cmx at ./src/ui/bin/root_presenter/meta/root_presenter.cmx

But I don't understand how the resolution work and why it doesn't/

In addition, I'm not sure if it is related or normal, when booting, the GigaBoot screen persists, and when I Alt+Esc it moves to the terminal as it should, but again, can't run UI commands.

Thanks for the help

Hi Ron,

The workstation product does not include the root_presenter that the tiles component requires to display its view, and tiles_ctl is not compatible with the workstation session.

If you'd like to run tiles, try launching it from the terminal product.

If you'd like to launch a web browser in workstation, try running `ffx session add https://google.com` from the host to add an element to the session.

Cheers,

Yegor

Hey, sorry for the late reply. I tried building the terminal product, but I don't understand, should I see a real GUI?

I only see the regular CLI which can be moved between with Alt+Tab.

I tried building workstation on QEMU and there it had a real GUI (I did so in separate of building the terminal product on my NUC)

Thanks

Ron

The terminal product does not have a GUI, only the virtcon terminal that you're seeing.

We are also planning on removing this product in favor of core, bringup, and workstation. Googlers, see issue issue 46964.

So basically what you're saying is that there's no GUI currently? I can't have a browser with front end?

Thinking aloud: should this sort of a question in general be answerable by pasting a URL?

Going back to the original question, please use the workstation product. It will boot into a GUI and let you launch a web browser.

The simple answer I'd give is to just build and run Workstation. There seems to be some confusion here around tiles and the terminal product that exist but are not encouraged workflows.

I did use the workstation product now, but when Fuchsia boots, it only shows the Gigaboot screen, and the keyboard doesn't respond.

These are the logs, extracted with `fx log`.

There is one entry that caught my eyes (and repeats 3 times):

[6535][6537][display_controller, driver_host:composite-device, driver] ERROR: [src/graphics/display/drivers/display/client.cc(1533)] GetSysmemConnection failed (continuing) - status: -2

Could it be the reason it won't go past Gigaboot screen? I am able to run commands via `fx shell`, but no GUI

Thanks

It's hard to diagnose this without full logs. Could you please report the issue with an `fx snapshot` zip attached? Thanks!
