Cannot View Article in 3.1.6 (Ubuntu 22.04)

[tornupnegatives]

I am using NewsFlash as a client for my self-hosted FreshRSS server. Lately, I cannot view any articles in the app or use the "Try to Show Full Content" button. The right-hand side is always empty. I'm wondering if anyone else is experiencing this issue.

Are you able to get any logs?

[janive]

@tornupnegatives I have a similar issue. Do you use a nvidia-graphicscard?

[tornupnegatives]

I am using an NVIDIA graphics card, yes. How can I go about producing some logs?

[soumyaDghosh]

Finally guys! I guess have some good news for you. I have a build for version 3.2.0 ready in the edge. Please give it a try and let me know. To install it, please install this before and connect the plugs manually. I'll update it in the readme.

[tornupnegatives]

Thanks for working on this! I've tried to update to the edge version, but I am getting an error.

➜  ~ sudo snap refresh newsflash --edge
error: cannot perform the following tasks:
- Ensure prerequisites for "newsflash" are available (cannot install prerequisite "ffmpeg-2404": no snap revision available as specified)

Please follow the commands from the README. You'll first need to install the dependencies and then newflash

I followed your manual. When I try to start newsflash, I get this error:

Please follow this as it's not ready yet

[janive]

newsflash starts now. The rendering-problem persists. I have a blank page for every article.

[soumyaDghosh]

Hi @janive Can you kindly try the stable channel once again with the webkitgtk-6-gnome-2204 from candidate. To test this all you've to do is this

sudo snap refresh newsflash --stable
sudo snap refresh webkitgtk-6-gnome-2204 --candidate

[janive]

I reverted to the stable-channel. But the rendering issue still occurs. Perhaps I installed something wrong?

[soumyaDghosh]

Hey @janive are you still facing this?

[soumyaDghosh]

Hii @janive @tornupnegatives this should be fixed now. We worked hard to debug this and now everything should be stable. Please let me know if this still occurs to you. Please don't hesitate to reopen this issue.
