jabref snap fails to start on ubuntu #11465
Comments
I don't get it, how have we missed this? We tested the build and the installer... Hot fix will be done tonight. |
Thanks for the quick response!! |
Background: The snap-distributed version is a wrapper around the portable linux version of https://builds.jabref.org/main/ (in a state in a a certain point of time in the past) I checked the current portable file. And it does not contain any journals. Need to investiage. (Also indicated by the output Update: The word "external" is important here. Seems like there is some local configuration and path mapping issues. Not release-criticial IMHO - and another issue. Update One needs to open |
But we have in our Line 87 in 1505137
and Line 492 in 1505137
|
It would be interesting to see what is inside the cfg file inside the snap |
I could reproduce this unter Ubuntu 22.04 LTS in a VM. |
I found a workaround: |
Interestingly, works in Arch Linux |
The problem is now fixed, you can use jabref from the --edge channel until we do a new release tomorrow |
I had a similar problem at Kubuntu 22.04 after the automatic update from 5.13 to 5.14. I managed to start jabref 5.14 by removing and reinstalling the package with snap. After loading a saved preference file from jabref 5.13 into jabref 5.14, I could no longer start jabref 5.14 until removing and reinstalling the package. |
@OlafKleinBerlin Could you share the preference file? Maybe also share what you changed in the preferences (not that important... An import should work...) It is really strange that this does not work... |
Dear koppor, the preference file can be found in this post of me in the jabref forum. Later, I loaded this file using the workarounds discussed above and in the forum topic. |
I upgraded to 5.15 and I can now launch Jabref! Thank you! |
Sorry for the inconvenience. Although we tested the app before releasing it, we did not run into this issue first. Thanks for your bug report and your patience. |
