Strange issue on Arch Linux (latest, KDE)

[TheAirBlow]

Just when I try to download latest firmware for SM-A207F region SER it opens a window that is not rendering (transparent in KDE)

When I close that window, the download ends. With keeping it opened nothing happens. No logs found.

Using original python samloader works.

[zacharee]

That should be the file picker. If I remember correctly, I've tested in KDE without issue. Make sure you have Dolphin installed.

[TheAirBlow]

It is installed. Maybe some dependencies are missing? Any other app can open this dialog.

[zacharee]

I'm not sure. I'll test it out on a KDE machine to see what's going on. What OS and version are you using?

1.0.4 uses a new version of Compose. Can you see if it works better?

[Lawyno]

I am also having this issue with v1.0.5. Log is almost the same like the one kujaw posted.

Operating System: Manjaro Linux KDE Plasma Version: 5.24.3 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.91.0 Qt Version: 5.15.3 Kernel Version: 5.16.14-1-MANJARO (64-bit) Graphics Platform: X11

This could be related to freetype bugs in particular specific to perticular fonts and characters. There seems to be a thread related to this on debian bugtracker, and on JetBrains issues (related to NativeDialogs library)

I'm having the same issue on manjaro, i3 with freetype2 2.11.1-1

You can still press the invisible button in the lower right corner to start the download to the default location (current working directory).

EDIT: I have upgraded to AUR package of freetype2-git 2.12.0 (and lib32), but it doesn't fix the issue. EDIT: I have then downgraded to archive package of freetype2 2.10.4-1 (and lib32), and the issue remains.

[zacharee]

I think Arch just has some issue with the native file picker. There are a bunch of similar JDK bugs that have supposedly been fixed, but even packaging with JDK18, when I open the file picker in my Arch VM, the entire JDK crashes.

Release 1.0.5-exp5 uses the Swing file picker instead of the native one. It doesn't look as nice, but it should at least function.

[zacharee]

Closing as fixed for now.
