Interface seems frozen

[Vectornaut]

I can launch HexPick and enter text into the text boxes, but nothing affects the color swatches shown next to the text boxes. Clicking the eyedropper button does nothing. (Is it supposed to do anything? Do I just not understand the interface?)

OS: Ubuntu 22.04.4 Desktop: Gnome 42.9 Window manager: Wayland

It seems to be a problem with the snap that you download from the store. If you use one of the releases from GitHub it should work fine

[Vectornaut]

I just tried cloning the repo, running npm install, and then launching with npm run start, but the interface is frozen in the same way.

[Vectornaut]

I've now also tried installing the .deb from the release page. The interface is frozen in the same way.

The next natural thing to try would be building the installer from source, but I seem to be missing a dependency, and I don't have the energy to hunt it down.

[KartoffelChipss]

It seems to be a problem with Wayland. Try "npm install electron@latest" and then run the app with "npm run start"

[Vectornaut]

When I installed electron@latest, I got a runtime error during installation (shown at the end). Launching the app with npm run start then immediately generated these error messages:

libva error: vaGetDriverNameByIndex() failed with unknown libva error, driver_name = (null)
[94131:0308/021433.245949:ERROR:gl_surface_presentation_helper.cc(260)] GetVSyncParametersIfAvailable() failed for 1 times!

Clicking the picker button generated an additional error message:

[KartoffelChipss]

There is a new release on GitHub, that should fix your problem: https://github.com/KartoffelChipss/HexPick/releases/tag/v1.0.1

[Vectornaut]

I installed v1.0.1 from the .deb. Mousing over the app window generates errors like this:

Clicking the picker button generates this error:
