TextureLab crashes on Ubuntu 20.04

OS: Ubuntu Linux 20.04 GPU: GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 1800X

There is a strange problem. There are two computers here, both use (xfce) XUbuntu 20.04. TextureLab works fine on my 2-core Celeron shoebox. But on the other (Ryzen based) PC it just opens a white window.

TextureLab's Console feedback (Ryzen system). I tried the TextureLab-AppImage and the TextureLab from compressed archive.

# The AppImage

Just now I refreshed both Ubuntu systems with sudo apt update; sudo apt upgrade Still the same issue on the other Pc.

What happens if you try building from source?

[iKlsR]

@njbrown You might want to explicitly bump electron.

[njbrown]

@iKlsR I'll update electron. We've addressed this issue before here #11. I might have to do an interim release since this seems to be a recurring issue.

@leonard7e are you ok with building from source and telling us if the issue has been resolved?

[leonard7e]

I am sorry, I did not look at closed issues.

After building TextureLab, I did "npm run electron:serve". Still screen. Used Firefox and chromium.

Screenshot

[leonard7e]

Chromium browser console shows an error message.

In Firefox console, similar error message. "Uncaught ReferenceError: require is not defined"

[njbrown]

The app shouldn't be running in the inside the browser; an electron window should popup. Try using yarn electron:serve and let me know if it works.

@iKlsR I might just remove the npm instructions once and for all.

[leonard7e]

I tried with yarn. Now TextureLab works. :-)

[njbrown]

Awesome!

@iKlsR definitely dropping npm instructions.

[njbrown]

@leonard7e I'd recommend building from the v0.2.0 tag since it's the latest official release. There's no guarantee of the stability of master.

Ok, I will do. Thank you for your help. :-)
