Hey there. Have you tried running Solar with the .AppImage, .snap or .deb package? I don't think that the error message about the dev tools is the reason for the blank screen.

[adhisimon]

Same blank window on running it with AppImage.

$ ./Solar-Wallet-0.28.0.AppImage 
(electron) 'BrowserWindow.getDevToolsExtensions' is deprecated and will be removed. Please use 'session.getAllExtensions' instead.

Confirming the same on Fedora 35 with 0.28 using AppImage

Maybe updating the electron dependencies can fix this issue but this requires thorough testing so this might take some time.

Same thing using Solar-Wallet-0.28.1.AppImage on Arch.

Yes, I have the Blank blue screen too. 1

This is a sandbox-related bug in recent versions of Chromium (and thus inherited by Electron and other libs). Or rather in its usage by various applications (e.g. Teams on Linux and RStudio have the same issue).

To circumvent this issue, run the application like this (same works for other apps with this issue): solarwallet --no-sandbox

Of course, it would be nice if the solarwallet devs themselves fixed it, but in the meantime...

I bumped the electron version and published some new build artifacts under the current release (0.28.1). Can you download and try e.g. the .AppImage again and tell me if you still have issues?
