Some programs opens blank

viniciusoliveira · 2022-02-22 20:23:04

Hello guys,

I've installed arch linux in a notebook and then installed Rstudio through yay. However, it started in a plank page, not loading console, editor etc. I thought It was a problem with Rstudio initially but later on I needed Microsoft Teams due to home office and this app also opens in a blank page.

I really have no idea what it can be. What could I do?

thank you

I tried to solve in this other forum: https://plus.diolinux.com.br/t/instalac … arch/43001
wich included resetting Rstudio and add the text

[Paths]
Prefix = /usr/lib/qt
Data = /usr/share/qt
Translations = /usr/share/qt/translations

into /usr/lib/qt/libexec/qt.conf

rstudio is Qt5 but teams is gtk3 - reg. the latter, did you see https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/teams and try to pass --no-sandbox?
Are you on wayland and/or is this an optimus system?

Hi. I have installed Qt5 and GTK3 but the problem persists. I already knew about --no-sandbox but this is a turn around, it's annoying you have to open terminal to execute a program that should work out of the box... About the wayland, I have lib32-wayland installed, but in installation I got xorg too.

thanks for helping.

Does not answer

Are you on wayland

You had that installed before or the clients had not even started…

I already knew about --no-sandbox

But chose to rather withhold that relevant detail?

No, you don't.

So I am assuming that launching these applications directly from a terminal command is successful?

Are you using a Desktop Environment or a Window Manager? It sounds to me like it could be an issue with the way your GUI is attempting to launch these applications.

Yes, it's working when launching from terminal. I am using cinnamon.

You don't "have to open terminal to execute a program" - you can either edit the desktop service that's invoked by your menu/runner of choice or shadow the binary w/ a script in /usr/local/bin that runs the binary in /usr/bin with the desired parameters.
Or in this case the teams executable already is a script and all you have to do is to edit that - you can even do that in the PKGBUILD and there's a comment on the AUR explaining how to do that…
