Cannot reproduce the blank screen.

The libsqlcipher error is due to Kali not installing recommended packages by default. libsqlcipher is a recommended dependency, not all vendors have it available. Without libsqlcipher seshat will not function and you will not have encrypted search.

You can use Ctrl+Shift+I on that blank page to see what is the underlying error in the renderer process

This seems like an upstream Electron issue which is specific to your environment

t3chguy avatar Feb 29 '24 16:02 t3chguy

Is there a way to debug? I am trying npm install electron -g or try to upgrade it. Discord is also electron based afaik and it works alright

neochine avatar Feb 29 '24 16:02 neochine

I am also running it on root. So all chromium based/node based application including discord, element-desktop requires --no-sandbox. Is there any root check or sandboxing thats potentially causing this?

Possibly, but it'd be within Electron, not the app code

t3chguy avatar Feb 29 '24 17:02 t3chguy

@neochine are you still experiencing this? I had the same issue but it was fixed with the upgrade to electron29.

bblacher avatar Apr 08 '24 16:04 bblacher

I will try updating to Electron29 and retrying!

neochine avatar Apr 09 '24 09:04 neochine

@neochine Did that solve your issue?

bblacher avatar Apr 13 '24 09:04 bblacher

Not really, launching element-desktop after updating electron still shows same blank screen. I guess the issue can be closed though given its not element related but electron related. I am using web element for now electron --version --no-sandbox v29.3.0

@bblacher This also doesnt work

Are you running element desktop as root?

bblacher avatar Apr 15 '24 13:04 bblacher

Yes. I use mostly root user so I need --no-sandbox. Discord & Session is electron based and works fine

neochine avatar Apr 15 '24 13:04 neochine

The libsqlcipher error is due to Kali not installing recommended packages by default. libsqlcipher is a recommended dependency, not all vendors have it available. Without libsqlcipher seshat will not function and you will not have encrypted search.

No it's not. The root problem is, Debian renamed package libsqlcipher0 to libsqlcipher1 in Debian testing, and Kali Linux is based on Debian testing. Without package named libsqlcipher0 to install, the recommended package is not installed.

You need to install libsqlcipher1 to provide that shared library file.

In a terminal window, apt install libsqlcipher0 returns "libsqlcipher0 has no installation candidate", and searching "libsqlcipher" resulted in a similarly-named "libsqlcipher1" which is the original "libsqlcipher0" package required by element-desktop

Currently I recommend that package element-desktop's recommended packages being modified to either libsqlcipher0 (can be satisfied if installing on Debian stable) or libsqlcipher1 (can be satisfied if installing on Debian testing and its derivatives) so they will be installed either way.

Also why is this a "recommended" package? If element-desktop depends on that it should be set as a dependency that must be satisfied IMO.

The issue seems to be unrelated to libsqlcipher I think. Its needed for only encrypted search as the dev said. Perhaps opening new issue to fulfill libsqlcipher problems (moving it from recommended to required?). Regardless, not sure why element seems to be producing blank screen given I have run few electron based apps with no issue.
