When resetting to factory default, tha app starts and works but shows no happs to install...

   second time starting breaks, see image.

"There are no apps available yet in the DevHub.
Read this to learn how to publish a Holochain application to the DevHub."

Logs
Please attach here the launcher.log file. To find it, go to Holochain Admin window of the Holochain Launcher, select the Settings menu, and select Open Logs. Attach that file to this issue.

see no way to upload logfile. (?)

In Ubuntu, there is a weird error that prevents the upload of a file from inside a hidden folder. To work around it, you can copy the launcher.log file to another non-hidden location, and upload it from there.

Screenshots
If applicable, add screenshots to help explain your problem.

Desktop (please complete the following information):

• OS: MacOs v.13.0.1]

Hello Uwe. I'm sorry for the troubles you have with the launcher. The LaunchHolochainError is most likely related to #82 . It's probably one or more orphan holochain process(es) still running in the background, for example because you have force quit the launcher earlier. With the next launcher release there will be a more helpful error message. To fix it, quit the launcher and look for remaining processes that start with holochain-v and kill them. After that the launcher should start up fine again.
Then the second issue you mention about no happs being visible in the app library is probably due to #64 . The launcher will need a while to synchronize the data with other peers so if you wait a while apps should start appearing. This will be improved in the future.

I'm closing this issue since there has been a new Launcher release in the meantime that addressed those issues.
