After install the Deb file And starting Tribler this error came up

JSODecoder error: Expecting value: Line 1 Column 1 (char 0)

Running the latest Linux mint version

xoriole commented 4 months ago

@hlubach Thank you for reporting. You mentioned the latest Linux mint version and Deb file installation, so I assume 7.13.2 version. Could you provide a bit more information below?

The Deb file you mentioned, is it downloaded from the official https://tribler.org website, can you confirm? If not where did you get it from?
Could you run the following command on terminal and share the terminal logs? It will show the logs and will give us more insights where the error originated from.
```
/usr/share/tribler/triber
```

Just tried the latest vdebfil from the site ,but with the same json message

drew2a commented 2 months ago

The error occurred here: https://github.com/Tribler/tribler/blob/591426394fe65c507c807c9d8c4b1db5d08ac805/src/tribler/core/upgrade/version_manager.py#L314-L316

Based on the logs provided, my guess is that there was a corrupted version_history.json

VersionHistory(315) - Load: /home/han/.Tribler/version_history.json

I suppose that just removing this file should solve the problem, @hlubach

drew2a commented 2 months ago

I was able to reproduce the bug by executing the following command:

~/.Tribler 
➜ echo > version_history.json

Tribler / tribler

Json error #7920
