at the end it does not display the menu bar. what am I missing?

[hacdias]

Hello @alexgarciac! Never saw that error before 😞 @diasdavid could you try it out on your mac, please?

I pulled 2aa8e947c4d34c8b34c38267ab1affc3c470afc7 and got the same output as @alexgarciac but see the menu bar icon.

Could you try removing this lines and execute the code again?

[alexgarciac]

No, did not work. I deleted the lines from the index.js started the app and then nothing happened so I had to ctrl-c.

[hacdias]

That is strange. I'll probably open an issue on electron today. Did you
update macOS since the he last time you tried ipfs-desktop?

I actually updated yesterday. I have 10.13.2 (17C88) I will test this in a linux mint box and let u know if it works.

[hacdias]

Actually, by the error message we can see our seems to be sighing only
affecting Mac OS. But give it a shot. 👍

I am on linux mint. running on a vbox from my mac. npm version 3.5.2, nodejs 9.4.0 now I get

[hacdias]

Could you send the log, please? That error doesn't say much 😞

[hacdias]

@alexgarciac could you try deleting node_modules folder and running npm install again? Just to make sure native dependencies were built with the correct version of node.

[alexgarciac]

how can I get the log? npm start --save log but does not make any difference.

[alexgarciac]

working!!!! as funny as it may sound rebooting was enough.... anyway it is working now.

[hacdias]

@alexgarciac nice!

@machawk1 any developments from your side?

[machawk1]

@hacdias I was unable to replicate the UI issue @alexgarciac mentioned and wanted to confirm that for the sake of testing on macOS. All is well and functional on my end.

[hacdias]

But you both still get the warning @machawk1 @alexgarciac?

[machawk1]

Just re-pulled and ran via npm start from 2e6d0980ae519f3dccbc929eb979bd42bbe6a1da.

This warning is still present:
2018-01-10 19:45:51.160 Electron[23725:1481990] *** WARNING: Textured window <AtomNSWindow: 0x7fcc52de7a60> is getting an implicitly transparent titlebar. This will break when linking against newer SDKs. Use NSWindow's -titlebarAppearsTransparent=YES instead.

[hacdias]

Okay. I'll close this issue then. The discussion about that warning will continue on Electron's repository. Ref.: https://github.com/electron/electron/issues/11150.
