I reinstalled it and now it works. However, maybe look at it to help the updating people. Thanks for your work!
Agreed, that's odd behavior. I'll look into i3wm title bar issues. Maybe I'll start including my own titlebar like I do in Gmail Desktop.
Sorry, have to reopen it: After reinstall I am able to start it a single time and then the behavior is as before.
PS: twm people will be happy about no titlebar at all :D
Update: It's something about the files in ~/snap/overleaf.
If I do a fresh install and use
overleaf && rm -rf ~/snap/overleaf
to start, then I can start it again. However, of course I have to enter my login details again and again which is annoying ...
Unfortunately, I cannot see any error messages. Is there some specific place to look for them? Some hope here? Thanks!
So gdb overleaf
got me
need to run as root or suid
so it seems to be some awkward need for more permissions after the first (successful!) run.
I tried to install with "--classic" but it gets "ignored for strictly confined snap overleaf".
I'm done with it. Turns out there's basically no reason for twm people to use Overleaf-Desktop due to the fact that you have a browser. Example using chromium:
chromium-browser --app=https://overleaf.com
I'd thought the idea was to have an offline editor that works on your own machine, thus overcoming overleaf limits of compile time and file size, plus having git and Dropbox/Drive/... integration out of the box for free (since the files are in your computer). This can already by done by self-hosting with docker, but this looked like a much easier solution. Guess I was wrong.
Thanks for the snap update. Unfortunately, it doesn't start for me on Regolith Linux 20.04 (Ubuntu). If I call "overleaf" from command line, it returns immediately and no window occurs. I even restarted my whole system - no window at all.
Awkward - that's just what should not happen to a snap by design, right?
PS: Just want to add the fact, that tiling window managers (like i3wm in my case) tend to remove the title bar.
