Cannot View Article in 3.1.6 (Ubuntu 22.04)

[tornupnegatives]

I am using NewsFlash as a client for my self-hosted FreshRSS server. Lately, I cannot view any articles in the app or use the "Try to Show Full Content" button. The right-hand side is always empty. I'm wondering if anyone else is experiencing this issue.

Are you able to get any logs?

@tornupnegatives I have a similar issue. Do you use a nvidia-graphicscard?

[tornupnegatives]

I am using an NVIDIA graphics card, yes. How can I go about producing some logs?

[soumyaDghosh]

Finally guys! I guess have some good news for you. I have a build for version 3.2.0 ready in the edge. Please give it a try and let me know. To install it, please install this before and connect the plugs manually. I'll update it in the readme.

[tornupnegatives]

Thanks for working on this! I've tried to update to the edge version, but I am getting an error.

➜  ~ sudo snap refresh newsflash --edge
error: cannot perform the following tasks:
- Ensure prerequisites for "newsflash" are available (cannot install prerequisite "ffmpeg-2404": no snap revision available as specified)

Please follow the commands from the README. You'll first need to install the dependencies and then newflash https://github.com/soumyaDghosh/newsflash-snap?tab=readme-ov-file#edge

I followed your manual. When I try to start newsflash, I get this error:

newsflash starts now. The rendering-problem persists. I have a blank page for every article.

Hi @janive Can you kindly try the stable channel once again with the webkitgtk-6-gnome-2204 from candidate. To test this all you've to do is this

sudo snap refresh newsflash --stable
sudo snap refresh webkitgtk-6-gnome-2204 --candidate

[janive]

I reverted to the stable-channel. But the rendering issue still occurs. Perhaps I installed something wrong?
