Settings don't open

Open Nekothegamer opened this issue 4 months ago • 6 comments

EDIT: apparently it's an issue within the flatpak, the binary RPM works just fine

For some reason, when clicking on the app menu and on settings nothing happens

weirdly enough, it's saying that the settings window is open, while actually it isn't

Weird. What desktop are you using?

I'm on i3wm on Arch and it opens file (both through file -> settings as well as the top level settings menu:

I just came into the issue on Arch with GNOME Wayland. It started to happen just after I uninstalled all packages and their dependencies in the plasma group. Seems to me, that there is some minor dependency on some plasma package.

Weirdly, I first could open the settings, which I used to disable the "Run on Wayland" flag, because the window decorations could not be used anymore to move the window.

I'm not sure if this is the same issue, but I can't even see the settings menu - going to settings via the in app button just goes to the regular tidal settings, and I don't have a menu bar either (so I can't do file -> settings).

I'm using KDE Wayland on Arch.

@aarchangel64 , your screen seems cut off. But you can enable the menu bar (and hotkeys) through the config file too:

      "menuBar": false,
      "enableCustomHotkeys": true,

@CrazyDiamond-75, most of the requirements are listed in the PKGBUILD but there's some basic desktop stuff that is required as well (e.g. you need to be able to create windows...)

These are the required dependencies: libxss nss gtk3 libxcrypt-compat libnotify, if you've uninstalled any of them it will probably break ;)

I'm seeing the same issue, also with the flatpak (v5.20.1) on Fedora + KDE

Clicking the "settings" item in the system tray menu creates a window according to my taskbar, but it doesn't actually render anything. I found that I can temporarily fix the issue by hovering over the invisible window's "preview" in the taskbar, rightclicking it, and maximising it via the context menu.

The fix works until I completely close tidal, then the "invisible settings window" is back.

the issue still persists on the flatpak

I also have this issue with the flatpak on bluefin with gnome wayland

I can see there is a window in the dock and when I alt+tab, but there is no preview and when I select it, it is invisible.

Happy to send through some logs if you tell me where to look 😄

If you do not need to access the settings frequently, launch tidal-hifi from a terminal, without any flags. The App will then launch as a xwayland window, and the settings will work again (tested using gnome 49.2 on arch). You can then of course proceed to launch the app normally thereafter, and the settings should persist.

This works for me, thank you so much!

To implement this fix, a good workaround may be to edit the relevant desktop link which starts Tidal such, that it automatically produces an Xwayland window.

Tried installing the AppImage and the settings do open, so this is definitely an issue with the flatpak @Mastermindzh given this, try doing what i did, all you have to do to reproduce the bug is to install the flatpak release, since that's literally where i found the issue
