Pages not displayed on Ubuntu 22.04 with version 3.1.0

[lissom]

Describe the bug Pages not displayed on Ubuntu 22.04 with version 3.1.0. The Index panel is working properly.

It was was working in Feb, there was an update to 3.1.0 on 2024-02-03.

Strangely only one book has reversed the index panel (the bits to click on are on the right, not the left, these are all books in English).

sudo snap list foliate --all Name Version Rev Tracking Publisher Notes foliate 3.1.0 1775 latest/stable johnfactotum -

There is no version to downgrade to.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Open any epub with Foliate.

Expected behavior Pages are displayed.

Version:

• Foliate version: 3.9.0
• OS/Distribution and version: Ubuntu 22.04
• Desktop environment: 42.9
• Installation method: snap

Additional context It would be great if there were more versions available so downgrades are possible to immediately fix the issue.

@lissom Can you kindly share the book that you're facing issue with? I'll try to look into it.

[lissom]

"Advanced Futures Trading Strategies" by Robert Carver. You are have to own the book to access the public download page. Do you have an email or something where I could privately send you a link?

[soumyaDghosh]

Yes, this is my mail [email protected]

[lissom]

OK, you should have an email with a link.

[soumyaDghosh]

Hi, @lissom I am able to see the pages

(Let me know, if I should delete this screenshot)

What you can do is, run the app from terminal via snap run foliate and open the epub file. Then check if you're getting any error. Please share if there is any.

[lissom]

OK, thanks. Here is the output from snap run foliate and clicking on the book:

Just installed Foliate with snap on PopOS running into the same issue. Blank pages but the index page works. Here's the logs from snap run foliate

@lissom @awalvie Both you probably doesn't have portals installed on your machine. Try with this, may be it get fixed

sudo apt install xdg-desktop-portal-gnome xdg-desktop-portal-gtk

[lissom]

They are already installed: xdg-desktop-portal-gtk is already the newest version (1.14.0-1build1). xdg-desktop-portal-gnome is already the newest version (42.1-0ubuntu1).

[awalvie]

It works with flatpak surprisingly?

[lissom]

flatpak worked for me too

Possibly a duplicate of #1107

[soumyaDghosh]

I cannot reproduce this even on kde-neon which is based on 22.04. So, the only thing that I can think of is that the books are opened from a removable device. Can you guys try by clicking on the hamburger menu and then click the Open button and then selecting the book?

Are you guys getting this type of page?

[lissom]

The hamburger didn't help.

I checked out issue 1107, and that does seem to be the cause. I'm sure it was working in early Feb with an nivida card, so this is newer for me than Nov for me. The following command does work: WEBKIT_DISABLE_DMABUF_RENDERER=1 foliate However, getting a single application in Gnome to change its settings has a whole lot of bad options. I think I'm going to stick to flatpak for the time being (if you fix the snap, I'd go back to snap, but 6 of one, half dozen of the other).

I really appreciate your help with this! Thank you!

BTW, as long as we're talking:

• If you had page numbers so it would track to the book's when I talk to people about the book, that would rock (they don't need to be correct, I can subtract 5 or w/e for when the book starts)
• Foliate is the best viewer by a mile, I've tried like 10. I use it in double page mode, it rocks!!!!

I'm on Pop!_OS 22.04 with Foliate 3.1.0 installed via Flatpak. I too can't see the pages, only the TOC. Here's the Terminal output:

[Lestibournes]

I tried the snap version as well, and it too didn't work.

Then I tried switching from NVIDIA graphics to hybrid graphics, and both work. So it seems this bug is related to using the NVIDIA GPU.

Can you try foliate from the edge channel of snap store?

[kt97679]

I was able to resolve issue on the ubuntu 24.04 by creating file /etc/apparmor.d/foliate with the following content and restarting apparmor after that.

# This profile allows everything and only exists to give the
# application a name instead of having the label "unconfined"

abi <abi/4.0>,
include <tunables/global>

profile foliate /usr/bin/foliate flags=(unconfined) {
  userns,

  # Site-specific additions and overrides. See local/README for details.
  include if exists <local/foliate>
}

[lissom]

Sure, but what's the point of using unconfined and having a snap? If that is the fix I'd rather use flatpak.

The snap is not at all unconfined. Not in Ubuntu based distros atleast.

Please add that this is for the deb and not for the snap, because the issue is related to snap.

[kt97679]

I'm sorry, I thought it is clear that I'm using deb based on my 1st comment.

[soumyaDghosh]

I'm sorry, I thought it is clear that I'm using deb based on my 1st comment.

The original creator of this issue created this against snap. That's why I said to specify that this is not snap.

[kt97679]

Ah, sorry about that, completely missed that part :(.

Actually the snap is confined. It just uses a profile controlled by snapd. You can see it using ps -Z. The snap profile is snap.foliate.foliate

snapd has a new interface to support applications that need userns. Current applications will continue to work without the requirement for the interface. When the requirement for the new interface will be enforced I am unsure of.

[jrjohansen]

This has been merged in https://gitlab.com/apparmor/apparmor/-/merge_requests/1209, it should start working its way into Ubuntu later when the beta freeze is lifted.

[lissom]

I guess in beta means the horse has left the barn, however, running unconfined is on many systems restricted. It also seems like a rendering problem? WEBKIT_DISABLE_DMABUF_RENDERER=1 foliate this makes it all work, and the file does load, so unconfined seems like overkill.
