nitroshare-ui freezes

Open tsjnachos117 opened this issue 4 years ago • 0 comments

Hello.

I've just compiled nitroshare from git, and whenever I try to launch the gui, it freezes without showing a a systray icon or showing the widget. The CPU usage is 0%, and there is NO output from the terminal. In short, nitroshare-ui sits there and does nothing.

One interesting thing I've noticed is that I can force it to work by calling it with a full file path. In other words, nitroshare-ui doesn't work, but /usr/local/bin/nitroshare-ui does. Also, if I change directories to /usr/local/bin, and then call nitroshare without a path, that works too.

As I was typing this report out, I decided to try nitroshare-cli, and it seems it's looking in the wrong directory, so maybe that's (part of) the problem? If I'm in my HOME directory, it seems to look in /home/lib/nitroshare/plugins, and then freezes. Do note that it does NOT say /home/TSJNachos117/, and thus isn't really paying attention to my home directory. That said, it won't find anything because "/home/lib" doesn't exist. If I change directories to /home, it tries to look in /lib/nitroshare/plugins. So, I guess it's trying to look in ../lib/nitroshare/plugins, while somehow translating that to a complete path?

I'm running NitroShare on Ubuntu 20.04.
