does not open on Ubuntu 20.04 installed from PPA #50

Open elpraga opened 2 years ago

elpraga commented 2 years ago

I've installed cobang from the PPA.

It does not open. They only message I get is "Failed to register. Timed out."

Any ideas how to get it running?

@elpraga Could you take a screenshot?

elpraga commented 2 years ago

There's no screenshot to take. I only get this message when I start it from the command line. When I start it from the menu, morning at all appears.

Do you want me to take a screenshot starting it from the commander line?

@elpraga Yes, I mean the screenshot of your command line.

The first time I did not get any message at all. After killing cobang via the killall command, I got this message.

Is there a way to turn the verbosity up somehow?

Yes, run cobang -v.

And also please give me result of which cobang.

Here you go!

@elpraga

Look like the app failed to start even before the logging is active.

That message is corresponding to the stage that, the app tried to register with the desktop session, so that the desktop session help keep only one instance of the app running (instead of many "CoBang" windows).

Which desktop environment are you using? Are you using standard Ubuntu or some "remix" spinoff?

elpraga commented 2 years ago

Thank you for the hint @hongquan I tried to log out and log back in, and I was able to get more information. I am using the standard GNOME edition of Ubuntu 20.04 on Wayland. Screenshot from 2022-01-04 14-42-52

I still cannot see any windows rendered.

hongquan commented 2 years ago

I think I need to install Ubuntu 20.04 and test it myself.

elpraga commented 2 years ago

I am very sorry I am unable to provide more information.

hongquan commented 2 years ago

@elpraga I tried installing CoBang on Ubuntu 20.04 but couldn't reproduce the issue. Could you try resetting GNOME settings and open CoBang again?

elpraga commented 2 years ago

Let's a little too much to ask ATM @hongquan as I am really busy, and I am using the environment to work. I will let you you know about any updates. Thank you for your help anyways!
