Hello,

I am trying to run qutebrowser-3.7.0 on OpenBSD/arm64 -current (ThinkPad
X13s).  qutebrowser does not load any pages.  I am on last night's
snapshot (base and packages).  Excluding config and loading a clean
page:

marco@neutrino:~$ qutebrowser --temp-basedir https://openbsd.org/
10:29:19 WARNING: No physical devices
[70215:34683714048:0910/102919.852395:ERROR:../../../qtwebengine-everywhere-src-6.11.1/src/3rdparty/chromium/dbus/bus.cc:408] Failed to connect to the bus: Failed to connect to socket /var/run/dbus/system_bus_socket: No such file or directory

(process:70215): GLib-CRITICAL **: 10:29:51.109: g_main_context_pop_thread_default: assertion 'stack != NULL' failed

The page does not load, neither does ':help'.  Could this be
OpenBSD[/arm64] specific or should this be reported upstream?

Recently, when on -stable with qutebrowser-3.7.0, this was not an issue.  


Apropos, upstream on Github there are many open issues, often related to
freezes (which I have been having over at least a year) or pages not
loading (as written here).  My vague understanding is that there is a
fast-moving software stack below qutebrowser (Python Qt, chromium),
which probably means that such issues will keep on popping up.

What I like most about qutebrowser is that I can browse the web without
a pointer, using vi-like keybindings.  I may try Luakit or vimb.
