Additional Information

If you installed it from the Ubuntu store, you are most likely using the snap version, I just sent the beta version of OpenComic to the snap store, now you should be able to switch to beta channel.

Can you test if the beta version has the bug fixed?

[AndKe]

switched to beta4 - issue remains.

It seems to be an error with the snap package and electron: https://github.com/electron-userland/electron-builder/issues/5217

I'll try to see if it can be fixed.

For now you can use drag and drop or install the deb package.

Deb package: https://github.com/ollm/OpenComic/releases/download/v1.0.0-beta.4/opencomic_1.0.0-beta.4_amd64.deb All pakages: https://github.com/ollm/OpenComic/releases/tag/v1.0.0-beta.4

Drag and drop:

thank you the .deb works apparently fine, even with these install problems (which may cause problems later)

I'm experiencing both the snap issue (+ another issue where I can't open removable media) and when I try the .deb installer I get

Apparently gconf2 is not available for ubuntu 24.04 :man_shrugging: can't find a work around this

I have removed this required dependencies 9d05499cc08a818bc21591610cf063fb9f93ffe1, can you try if this deb works on Ubuntu 24.04?
