Error: Cannot find module './i18n/strings/en-us.json', app cannot start #19153
Comments
I think the errors in the log might be a red-herring as I've seen that error reported in other issues from Linux users e.g. here where the app must have launched in order for the user to reach the point they did element-hq/element-desktop#863 |
Possibly related to #19169 |
Good chance of that. If I start element a second time (while the first instance is already "stuck"), I also get a white window, so that might be what the Ubuntu users are reporting. |
Note that #19169 is an issue with glibc in Ubuntu (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/glibc/+bug/1944468) - possibly SuSE is also affected, but hard to tell unless you can capture a core dump as the reporter of that issue did |
I don't get a core dump, as the process, in my case, does not crash. (I think I was misled by the second comment in that issue, which sounds more like my issue and less like the OP's) I'd love to provide more info using gdb, but I can't find a package for element's debug symbols in either the official repos or the repo I got element from. |
If there's no crash, gdb won't help :/ Nightly builds have been updated to Electron 13.5 - updating to that is definitely worth a try, but I don't think https://github.com/taw00/element-rpm builds nightlies so you would either have to build Not sure if related, but one of the comments in the glibc thread says a blank window is a symptom https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/glibc/+bug/1944468/comments/27 |
@haasn did you have any luck after updating Element? |
FWIW, the latest version as published on taw's repo (taw00/element-rpm#49) fixes the not being able to start at all issue. I still see the locale and "module not found" messages, but they're not fatal anymore, or they never were. |
Okay, given that's the OP's installation source I'll close this, just ping if it's not closed |
Conforming that it works now, thanks. |
If someone still has this problem, it seems to be because they need the proxy (e.g. they can't access the matrix homeserver). Otherwise they may still use en-us instead of using en. By |
