Host is xubuntu 20.04 running Retroshare version : 0.6.5-retroshare-gui-OBS-AppImage.

Retroshare GUI up and running in darknet mode with two (2) trusted nodes.

Successfully followed directions at: https://github.com/RetroShare/RSNewWebUI

Successfully open index.html with native browser (Firefox 77.0.1 (64-bit))

Successfully displayed blue login screen, entered existing username and password, verified port, and clicked login.

It appears that the index.html page closes and that the browser opens a new tab that appears blank white with an address of 127.0.0.1:9092/rsPeers/GetRetroshareInvite

Right clicking on the page and selecting "View Page Source" opens a new tab with address view-source:http://127.0.0.1:9092/rsPeers/GetRetroshareInvite and that is also blank.

Close all tabs and start over by opening index.html in browser, do NOT enter any credentials and simply click "Login" button and get same results (blank page).

it is likely that RS cannot find the js files for the webinterface. Normally they are in /usr/share/retroshare/webui/. I'm not sure about what the app image is doing in this situation. The appImage tht is released for 0.6.5 certainly does not include them. If that is the reason, then compile the webui (using qmake) and copy the webui/* files in /usr/share/retroshare/webui. But I'm not sure it is possible using the appimage.

Thank you. After much banging around it appears the simplest is to bring up a xubuntu 18.04 machine and install via apt to properly gain access to the directories.
