ERROR:browser_gpu_channel_host_factory.cc(103)] Failed to launch GPU process.

[brownjohnf]

It's unclear why this is happening. This is on a push of the master branch as of today's date. Host's config.txt:

disable_splash=1
dtparam=i2c_arm=on
dtparam=spi=on
dtparam=audio=on
enable_uart=1
gpu_mem=160

[brownjohnf]

Forgot to say that this is an rpi3 model B, running on an HDMI display.

@brownjohnf can you paste more logs around the error please?

[curcuz]

also, what's the output on the screen after you see this error?

[brownjohnf]

@curcuz Output on the screen is just white/light gray. Prior to the startup/error, the screen is the default resin display with the ASCII Resin.io on the screen.

Anyone know what's causing this?

Following worked for me:

• changed dependencies to: "electron": "~1.6.16" and "electron-rebuild": "^1.7.2"
• in main.js add app.disableHardwareAcceleration(); to get rid of the browser_gpu_channel_host_factory.cc(103)] Failed to launch GPU process. error

also electron v2.0.0-beta.8 worked for us (with added bonus of loading pdf's in iframes) see https://github.com/resin-io/resin-electronjs/issues/70
