On Void Linux using PB 621 and PB 630b2 it's the same as PeDe says.

I'm using amd64 and X11 though, not Wayland.

The debugger output on my Linux box says "System Color Order on Linux = RGBA".

The For/Next loop before FlipBuffers() will run from 1 to 71 rather than 0 to 71.

nb in a previous nested loop will be 72. Could that be it?

@PBlinux,

Glad it's working for you now.

As I said, Ubuntu and Debian based systems are easier to get PB working on them, but I've done it on some more esoteric systems. It just takes a bit of fiddling about.

@PBlinux,

As a follow up to my last post, I might have misread my notes, slightly? I did say they were badly formatted!

It's possible that the missing package was actually libXxf86vm-devel. Check that the dev/devel packages are installed.

@PBlinux,

Did you try installing gtk+3-devel(or whatever that might be named in Fedora?) as I suggested in my previous post?

I'll drop the text file with the notes I took, when getting it running in Void, in the pCloud link in my signature. It's called "PBdependencies" if you want to look at it ...

@PBlinux

If you install PB on any OS that's not Debian/Ubuntu based, there might be some tweaking required.

Assuming you're using the relevant version of PB, which it sounds like you are, then it's often a case of the package name being slightly different and/or needing the -dev/-devel package too ...

Maybe? I was just trying to work out how to get the default file manager to open in Linux. That code worked for me.

What the rest of your code needs to be, I have no idea? You have to work that bit out yourself. :shock:

I only ran that one line I suggested on it's own. I was just ...

@marcoagpinto

I just tried this in Linux and it opens my default file manager. I have no idea how you incorporate that into a program to do what you want though?

RunProgram("exo-open", "--launch FileManager", "")

Hi Erlend,

I would assume, rightly or wrongly, that if your code stays the same but behaves differently in different versions of PB, that PB has changed somehow?

I had an issue recently regarding transparent sprites and it was because PB had a new flag added, #PB_Sprite_Transparent, which my older ...

It also doesn't seem to work for me using PB 6.30 beta 3 on Void Linux or Ubuntu 24.04. All my systems are x64.

@Fred

Which version of Linux are you testing it on?

Moulder.

@Erlend,

It doesn't work for me in PB 6.30 beta 3 either.

I'm using Debian 13 at the moment, but I also have PB installed in Void and Ubuntu so I'll check those out later to see if they behave differently?

Moulder.

Hi Erlend,

It looks like this on my Debian 13 install using PB 6.21 x64.

Hi Mesa,

The zoom works perfectly, as does the vertical scroll bar.

It did occur to me that the contents of the webpage resize to fit the window, so maybe you wouldn't ever get a horizontal scroll bar?

But then there is a condition where the page would require it i.e. if you make the window ...

Hi Mesa,

It doesn't show the horizontal scroll bar on my Debian 13 Linux install using PB6.21.
