Etcher: Blank Etcher window when installing latest version from redhat repo

[sntyj]

• Etcher version: 1.1.2+3147a93-1
• Operating system and architecture: Fedora 26 64 bit (4.12.14-300.fc26.x86_64)
• Image flashed: From repo bintray--resin-io-redhat
• Do you see any meaningful error information in the DevTools?
  N/A
  

On Fedora 26, running dnf upgrade -y installs version 1.1.2+3147a93-1. This version does not show any GUI elements. "Downgrading" and installing various previous versions allows normal usage of Etcher. It is only this latest version that brings up a blank window. Screenshot is attached.

[Shou]

Are there any error messages in the dev tools (Ctrl+Alt+i)?

[lurch]

Hmmm, that version (1.1.2+3147a93) is from our etcher-devel component, rather than our etcher component (which is still on 1.1.2), see https://bintray.com/resin-io/redhat

@sntyj Did you explicitly enable etcher-devel, or is there a possibility we've misconfigured our RPM repository and/or our RPM instructions?
(BTW this is a side-question, and not _directly_ related to your initial bug report)

[sntyj]

@Shou Sorry I had that shortcut mapped before so I couldn't get to the dev tools. I do have some errors. Please see below:

@lurch I did not enable etcher-devel through commands, although I wouldn't say that I'm not incapable of accidentally enabling something like that!

I did follow the RPM instructions you mentioned. I actually thought I misconfigured it at one point I did both methods using dnf and yum to install the package (after removing it each time). I added the repo using the following command (grabbed from shell history):

sudo wget https://bintray.com/resin-io/redhat/rpm -O /etc/yum.repos.d/bintray-resin-io-redhat.repo

[SaharahSarah]

I'm having the same issue. I followed the directions and the repo is set to https://resin-io.bintray.com/redhat/ which seems to include stable and development images.

[sntyj]

Hello. New build came out today, and it seems that I'm still having the same problem with it. If I remove etcher-electron and reinstall it via dnf, it pulls version 1.1.2+179597b-1;

[xxxx@XXXXXX ~]$ sudo dnf install etcher-electron

Side note, it is still loading as a blank window like before. Here is the error message from the debug console below:

[lurch]

We've now fixed our snapshot builds :tada: ( #1795 )
Can the people who were affected by this "blank window" issue please try updating their etcher-electron package and let us know if it's all working now?

The issue with snapshot releases getting installed on Fedora in the first place should hopefully be fixed soon ( #1767 ).

[sntyj]

As of today, ran dnf upgrade -y and now I have a working version of etcher. Thank you!
