Crash of version 1.7.33 on hirsute on amd64

[monochromec]

Same symptoms as #18173 but apparently different root cause
(stack trace at: https://gist.github.com/monochromec/14ce9a604a368d0ee017730923ab9265)

Description

Random crashes on Ubuntu 21.04

Steps to reproduce

• Start Element
• Observe crash while app becomes unresponsive

Logs being sent: yes

(Cf. above)

Version information

• Platform: web (in-browser) or desktop?
  Desktop 1.7.33
• Ubuntu 21.04

1.7.33 apparently really missed the boat on several platforms. More than happy to provide additional information - please let me know what else is required...

[dbkr]

The stack traces in your stack trace are just it complaining very loudly about not being able to find an en_us translation (which doesn't exist for desktop, probably because none of the few strings in desktop have any British / American-isms in them), so it's possible it is the same root cause.

[monochromec]

So this is a packaging issue?

[monochromec]

The Flatpak version has the same issue. :-(

Let me know if / what additional info is required so this can be fixed ASAP.

[monochromec]

So the missing json file is indeed a packaging issue as the corresponding asar file only contains en_EN.json. It would be great if the US locale could be included in the asar configuration as well.

As per https://github.com/vector-im/element-desktop#translations - there isn't yet a US translation in Weblate

[monochromec]

According to weblate there is :-). It's just not complete yet, hence I presume the missing file.

Where are you seeing the US translation..?

[monochromec]

https://translate.element.io/projects/element-web/element-web/

[t3chguy]

That's a different repo. And in fact the element-web portion of the app does have the US lang.

@monochromec are you still experiencing issues with current versions? (e.g. 1.9.0)

[monochromec]

The app is still missing the json file but it's not crashing anymore.

[novocaine]

I believe the missing JSON file will cause it to remain in English (UK), which is not ideal but not fatal. Closing this one.
