signal-desktop hangs on startup, appearing to start minimised #6966

Seeing similar behaviour on Windows, except the Signal window appears as an empty white pane. |

@vladh @rowdenb Could you reproduce your issues and get us a debuglog? https://support.signal.org/hc/en-us/articles/360007318591-Debug-Logs-and-Crash-Reports |

@vladh it appears the app keeps getting interrupted while it's starting up. Like you're launching it and then quitting a few seconds later while it's actively doing work. Have you tried letting it sit for a bit? It may be that there's a lot of things for the app to catch up on |
|
@jamiebuilds-signal I'm not doing anything at all actually, I've just run |
|
That's interesting, something is sending a request to close the app then. Maybe some sort of window manager. You may want to try some of the steps in #6740 |
|
I believe there are some other flags mentioned in #6368 Probably right that this is the same root issue as one of those so yeah I'll close it |
|
Oops right, just saw #6368, using the patch provided there fixes it for me until this is fixed upstream, thanks! |
… to the 'did-finish-load' event instead of 'ready-to-show' related issues: signalapp#6368 signalapp#6740 signalapp#6966 electron/electron#25253 (comment) After a deep rabbit hole into electron and the chromium source code I could not determine why this event is not fired, but both events should be more or less equal from their timing in our case: https://www.electronjs.org/docs/latest/api/browser-window > ### Using the `ready-to-show` event > This event is usually emitted after the did-finish-load event, but for pages with many remote resources, it may be emitted before the did-finish-load event.
Using a supported version?
Overall summary
When running
signal-desktop, I get some log messages, but no window opens up.If I run
signal-desktopagain, in a different terminal, I get some other log messages, and the window does finally open.If I close the window, both processes die.
So, I need to run
signal-desktoptwice for the window to open. If I close the window, I have to run it twice again for it to open.Steps to reproduce
Run
signal-desktop.Expected result
A window opens.
Actual result
No window opens.
