Bug: "Could not connect: Connection timed out" error...

[tuqueque]

Hello, I installed Focalboard from the AUR (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/focalboard-bin ) repository (Manjaro Linux), but when I open the app, the window is just blank for about 1 minute and after that, it turns white with a prompt that says: Could not connect: Connection timed out

I tried downloading the app from here, ran it through the Terminal, same result... here's what I got in the Terminal:

./focalboard-app

I would really like to test and use this application. It seems very promising!

@tuqueque Can you try downloading and installing from our official release page and see if you're still having issues? Can you also provide more details on your OS version and edition? Thanks! cc @sbishel

I tried both, the AUR repository and an official release from here (your Github page) and both gave me the exact same error I posted.

I use Manjaro Linux (XFCE). I keep it up to date always. Kernel 5.19.7-1...

The error I get seems to imply that is trying to establish some sort of connection. I have Internet connection, but as far as I know, this program runs locally on the computer, no Internet connection required. Is that correct?

Thanks for the report @tuqueque! This was fixed in v7.3 through https://github.com/mattermost/focalboard/pull/3858
