[solved with MC34] MC on Arch Linux crash on startup [Partially Solved]
Awesome Donkey:
Does it depend on any dependency to be installed in order to work? Maybe the Arch Linux PKGBUILD on the AUR hasn't been updated for some unmet dependency? It does list webkit2gtk at least.

Thanks everyone for the comments!
First of all: Good to hear that jrmc works on wayland on Arch, too !!
But still, it does not explain why it is crashing in my case.
I did run it under strace as well as gdb, but none of it was really useful - at least for me.
I am running KDE/Plasma - not Gnome, though.
Concerning the embedded web engine: does this require a certain version of Chrome being installed? I dont have it installed, just chrome-beta.
Awesome Donkey:
Media Center doesn't use the system web browser, so that wouldn't matter. It uses an embedded Chromium plugin that either is downloaded through MC itself when attempting to use it or it possibly uses something like webkit2gtk or something like that. Bob will have to answer how that works.

It downloads the chromium plugin which is a standardized one we build that is targeted to be compatible with the distros MC runs on.
The gtkwebkit browser option in MC is reasonable for distros up to bookworm but seems to have issues with newer distros.

Hmm, very different information going around here. I heard statements that MC works on Wayland on Arch, and at the same time that the chromium plugin does not work with "newer" (or rolling) releases.
If MC/Wayland/Arch works on Gnome, it should not be the problem of the chromium plugin, but something else that is missing? Some shared library that is loaded in a none-standard way?
