No output in tg unless I'm root

[atxr]

Hi, I've recently started using tg and it appears that I can't use it unless I launch sudo tg, which is boring because I didn't want to soil my /root directory. When I just launch tg, the client is running, but I just have a black screen in my terminal. I tried to press random keys on my keyboard and it appears that I have control over the client, I mean I can select a conversation, send messages but I have no output from it.

I tried on several Window Manager (plasma and qtile) but none of them solved my issue.

I don't know what information could be useful for you, I'm using arcolinux, and I installed tg via the aur/telegram-tg-git package. Any ideas? Maybe I miss one permission I don't know what could go wrong...

Same issue after I built tdlib from latest source code

I installed tg from the AUR. After compiling, I'm having the same problem in Arch Linux, but not Manjaro.

Here's what ~/.local/share/tg/error.log shows. This appears to repeat every time the client tries to draw something because I have a few thousand lines like these.

Same issue here on MacOS. The messages are being sent but unfortunately I can't see anything that I'm doing. Both tg and tdlib are freshly brewed and updated to latest versions :(

Sorry for the slight change of topic but I have to ask about the link to the wallpaper @atxr 😅

Same, blank screen on MacOS :-(

Merged fix, will release new version soon

i installed from master after git clone - set conf.py and put my lib path for tdlib in the same confy.py and it works perfectly! do you happen to have a whatsapp equivalent? :)

before i figured it out, my mac just showed black screen all the way. now i dont even need sudo to run!

Just installed from sources and it doesn't work. Terminal emulator is all blank.

@polemon set tdlib in with the correct paths in the config py

Thanks! That helped! Perhaps the doc/readme should mention it's libtdjson.so (or rather one of the versioned files) should be put into TDLIB_PATH, I kinda had to trial end error that...
