Fix for pulseaudio causing app crash
Described this earlier today:
https://bkhome.org/news/202608/pulseaudio-mixer-causes-apps-to-crash.html
I'm concerned that apps other than geany might also crash, and apps other than pavucontrol might cause the crashes.
So, have restored this in /etc/profile:
export XLIB_SKIP_ARGB_VISUALS=1
As was described in a github link in the previous blog post, enabling that variable causes issues with Asian languages in chromium. So, instead have disabled it in chromium.
/usr/bin/chromium is a script, that will run chromium as user "chromium". I have inserted this into the script:
unset XLIB_SKIP_ARGB_VISUALS
The script is generated by /usr/local/clients/setup-client, by woofQ2 when EasyOS is built.
Interesting, I wonder if some other mysterious crashes that some
users have reported, will now be fixed.
