Does not work with Whonix

[clayt0nk]

Version 4.12.5 installed with Flatpak

I have two pm accounts. ElectronMail was flawlessly reliable with both up until a few days ago. Then one of them (not always the same one, but always one of them) failed to work. Today both fail to work. Below is a sample of the errors I am getting.

Uncaught (in promise): Error: Failed to load "webclient0://app.protonmail.ch/blank.html?loader-id=01c3021a-9aaf-4c97-b9ed-25f07fdbeba2" page in 15000ms

Looks like a similar to placed before #311 and #349 issues solution for which was in updating the flatpak thing in the system. Maybe try flatpak update command first and then if error is still there update the flatpak itself.

The app was not updated and it's not @protonmail API error (@protonmail stuff didn't yet come into the game at this stage), so something changed in your system.

Yes, you are right. So when it was working before, it was in an Archlinux VM behind Tor. It is currently working again in a Debian VM without Tor. The environment that did not work yesterday is Whonix Workstation VM (also behind Tor, but Tor itself is not the problem per the first case). So something that Whonix Workstation (which bends over backwards to ensure that ZERO network traffic can leak out of the Tor tunnel) does interferes with the functioning of this app.

Hey clayt0nk, why don't you install the debian package?

Fair question: because I see no sign of an ElectronMail Debian repository. Without that, updates are a repetitive manual nauz that I really try to avoid. I spend too much time keeping my QubesOS installation up-to-date as it is. Flatpak updates everything installed with one keypress.

I might have tried the snap package, but in my experience snaps do not work reliably on QubesOS.
