[Bug] .rpm not working on Nobara

Open notyurigagarin opened this issue 5 months ago • 3 comments

What version of WinBoat are you running?

0.8.7

Your Environment

I am trying to build and run WinBoat on Nobara (Gnome, Wayland). After attempting to run the .rpm and AppImage nothing worked. I then attempted to build the app from source which completes after a looong trial and error (AppImage and RPM are generated), but when I try to run it either from the desktop icon or terminal nothing happens. There is no error output, the window never appears, at least I have logs which I'm attaching I don't quite understand what's wrong by looking at the logs

A bunch of logs, I know quite a bit of information overload... But it's literally what has been happening... I believe this to be a bug but regardless if it's not, I believe this issue can further help future builds so I'm oversharing

Steps to Reproduce / Context

  • Fresh install of Nobara Linux (GNOME, Wayland)
  • Attempted to run .rpm, fails silently or with shared library (libcrypt.so.1)
  • Attempted to run .AppImage which gives me a disk in use error (attached below)
Image

  • Then, I installed all prerequisites for building: --- nodejs, npm --- electron, electron-builder (i was having trouble with it so I installed by hand) --- all docker thingies --- ruby (for fpm) --- rpm-build, dpkg (for packaging) --- libgtk-3-0, libnotify, nss, libXScrnSaver, libXtst, xdg-utils, at-spi2-core, libuuid, libsecret-1-0 --- freerdp installed manually to satisfy RDP dependencies

  • Build from source with tutorial provided in GitHub

  • Created desktop shortcut, icon shows up

  • Clicking the icon does nothing, running via terminal does nothing. No errors, warnings

Well, for the rpm to at least open and run, give me set of instructions to fix the issues I'm having

Current Behavior

Nothing happens past Nobara Codec Wizard

Update: i managed to get the appimage installed using App Image Launcher, you can find the repo right here on github. Installed it via terminal and boom

But regardless, there's no error saying what is missing and what is wrong, it doesn't even start

I use the latest Nobara 42. The RPM Could be installed for me. Have you attached external storage devices except your OS Drive? And what File System are you using?

no external storage, nor i'm using any file system different from the OS standard
