No handbook available in Help

[nomiSFI]

When installing GTG with "flatpak install org.gnome.GTG.flatpakref" there is no handbook visible in Help (Hilfe), the page is just empty.

Linux 5.4.0-42-generic #46-Ubuntu SMP DISTRIB_ID=LinuxMint DISTRIB_RELEASE=20 DISTRIB_CODENAME=ulyana DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Linux Mint 20 Ulyana" NAME="Linux Mint" VERSION="20 (Ulyana)" ID=linuxmint ID_LIKE=ubuntu PRETTY_NAME="Linux Mint 20" VERSION_ID="20"

Best regards Frank

I have the same issue. Additionally, my computer freezes for about half a minute when I open the help page :grimacing:

This is weird, it works here; do you get any errors when running the flatpak from the terminal?

[ernestum]

I did this:

~ ➤ /usr/bin/flatpak run --branch=stab~ ➤ /usr/bin/flatpak run --branch=sta~ ➤ /usr/bin/flatpak run --branch=stable --arch=x86_64 --command=gtg --file-forwarding org.gnome.GTG
Gtk-Message: 10:47:15.113: Failed to load module "xapp-gtk3-module"

Note: the error message was displayed on startup. Not when I opened the help dialog.

Have not used GTD in a while, run /usr/bin/flatpak run --branch=stable --arch=x86_64 --command=gtg --file-forwarding org.gnome.GTG just as ernestum wrote and everthing works.

The issue still occurs for me while and after running GTG with /usr/bin/flatpak run --branch=stable --arch=x86_64 --command=gtg --file-forwarding org.gnome.GTG in a terminal. Opening the Help shows a blank page (screenshot) and an error in the terminal:

(WebKitWebProcess:46): Gdk-WARNING **: 11:19:57.251: The program 'WebKitWebProcess' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadValue (integer parameter out of range for operation)'.
  (Details: serial 201 error_code 2 request_code 151 (GLX) minor_code 34)
  (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;
   that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.
   To debug your program, run it with the GDK_SYNCHRONIZE environment
   variable to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
   backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)

Running the same command after setting GDK_SYNCHRONIZE=1 gave the same results. I've tried running GTG with --gdk-debug misc, but I get Unknown option --gdk-debug. Am I doing it wrong (usr/bin/flatpak run --branch=stable --arch=x86_64 --command=gtg --file-forwarding org.gnome.GTG --gdk-debug misc), or does it mean my GTK+ is not configured for debug?
