Huh, that's weird. Maybe lsb_release doesn't work on snap due to sandbox? I'm not familiar with snaps but try giving it more permission

Maybe lsb_release doesn't work on snap due to sandbox?

lsb_release works with snaps I have checked that.

@Gustav0ar can you please provide the output of the following command from your Terminal:

lsb_release -a

No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID: Pop

[cstayyab]

According to the output you have provided this error should not occur. I will have to look into it in more details.

When I start WALC it shows the same error window 'A JavaScript error ocurred in the main process'

WALC Installation Type: AppImage
System Information (please complete the following information):
OS/Distro: Fedora release 32 (Thirty Two)

@erduende what's the output of

lsb_release -a

[MyMirelHub]

I get the same issue.

➜  ~ lsb_release -a
No LSB modules are available.

These are the snap permissions:

lsb_release output

LSB Version:	:core-4.1-amd64:core-4.1-noarch
Distributor ID:	Fedora
Description:	Fedora release 32 (Thirty Two)

The issue has been solved installing 'redhat-lsb-core' package to get the output of lsb_release. It seems that package isn't installed by default in Fedora.

Thank you!

[Zzombiee2361]

It seems this only happens on snap

[Gustav0ar]

I finally got the error to stop showing. I'm using PopOS 20.04, I installed the mainline kernel over the default one and it stopped showing.

I also had the problem on OpenSUSE, again because lsb-release wasn't installed by default. I made a PR to fix/workaround, see #52.
