[Linux] Showing no GUI when opening binary, just white

[physixcat]

Hello, I realize this is most likely user error but I can't seem to figure out how to fix it.

As the title says, when I run the latest release of soundsense-rs, I only get a window with white in it. No sliders or GUI. As far as I'm aware I've installed the dependencies listed in the README, but no dice.

I'm on Debian Sid. The packages I installed were:

libgdk3.0-cil \
libwebkit2gtk-4.0-37 \
libjavascriptcoregtk-4.0-bin

I already had libasound2 and libgtk-3-0

I get a similar issue, where it opens with no sliders, just the menu bar.

Same issue on Ubuntu 21.04.

Here's a screen shot

I have a some patches for this: see https://github.com/DHMike57/soundsense-rs/releases
The latest builds of https://github.com/McArcady/lnp-forge have incorporated them: try a
nightly build

@DHMike57 Can you open a PR to merge your changes into this this repo?

[DHMike57]

@alexchandel Unfortunately I have an unconnected fork which I made to slim down the huge history (didn't know about 'clone --depth 1'!). At the time I did not realise that anyone was maintaining this.

I have redone the fork to an obsolete a/c and will try from there.

Did anyone find a solution to this? I get the same result with the lnp-forge version.

@carldavis If you are not familiar with this it might just be looking blank. You don't see much until you have a soundset loaded. If the menus appear and allow you to choose a directory with your soundset then it is probably working. Don't forget to disable the DF music and choose windowed mode in LNP. If the load menu does not work, have you tried my fork (it is the patch that was merged into lnp-forge a few months ago : https://github.com/DHMike57/soundsense-rs/releases/download/v1.5.2-pat/soundsense-rs-v1.5.2-pat-Linux.tbz

This is working on my up-to-date arch system.
