Operating System: KDE neon 5.27

hello. can you please show me a screenshot of Decibels saying `Resource not found.

If possible you can also try to record a screen record opening the portal.

can you build the app? I want to help fix the issue, but first, there is a change that you could help test.

I have no experience with gnome apps, but send the branch and I'll try

Hello. Please try installing the latest flatpak artefact and confirm it fixes the issue.

Let me know if the issue is indeed fixed so I can push out a new release with the fixes ASAP.

Sadly it doesn't, the same things happens with this version.

Can you paste the installed version of decibels?

Can you paste the installed version of decibels?

I tried with com.vixalien.decibelsDevel, 0.1.4-64f8b53

Should I uninstall the Flathub version?

[vixalien]

That's the correct version, yes.

Well, this specific problem seems to be a head-scratching bug, and I don't know how to solve it now. I will wait for more users can reproduce it before trying to work on it.

[MrDorianJames]

yeah same issue

[vixalien]

Hello everyone! Although I'm not sure what caused this, can you please check and see if the app still fails?

It still happens with 0.1.6 from Flathub

The latest version is 0.1.7. Can you update and try again?

[thegrasshopper104]

Weird, I just reinstalled it and everything is up-to-date.

[vixalien]

My bad. The version 0.1.7 was not published to flathub. I now did, and it should be available in the next few hours. While waiting, you can install the latest nightly CI artefact to check.

[thegrasshopper104]

This is how it looks like, still can't see files when clicking on the button.

[vixalien]

It looks empty, and no font is rendered. Are you sure it's not an issue with your system?

All other apps (including libadwaita) work fine

I've seen this issue before, it's probably a borked version of mesa in flathub.

Please try another gtk4/libadwaita app installed from flathub with the same runtime (org.gnome.Platform/{arch}/45). That probably also won't work.

When opening a directory with decibels, it shows this "resource not found" error.

Also, in the screen recording above (#25 (comment)), you can see the user trying to open a directory with decibels.

I think this issue could just be user-error. And even if this issue is not related to that, this issue will eventually come up (especially if the app is accepted into GNOME Core Incubator).

EDIT: Just saw that there's two screen recordings, there are two issues.

A new "Cannot open directories" error screen (or something similar) should probably be added - maybe that already fixes the issue.

[vixalien]

The latest commits should have fixed this. If you could check and report back, that would be highly appreciated. Thanks

Sorry, I missed this comment. Now I can open files from Dolphin with Decibels, but the file picker in Decibels is still empty (0.1.7)
