Keepassxc: Debian Stretch and missing text on snap version

[ilmaisin]

Expected Behavior

I should see the text in the menus.

Current Behavior

The text is missing. Also, when I browse menus, the following line gets repeatedly printed to the console:

QFont::setPointSizeF: Point size <= 0 (-0.750000), must be greater than 0

Possible Solution

Steps to Reproduce (for bugs)

1. Install snapd on Debian Stretch
2. Install KeePassXC
3. Run KeePassXC

Context

On Ubuntu 16.04, everything seems to work fine. Also, the AppImage works correctly on Debian as well.

Debug Info

Unable to get this data because text is missing.

When installing the snap, it outputs: keepassxc 2.2.3 from 'keepassxreboot' installed

What version of snapd are you using on Debian

[ilmaisin]

It's 2.29.4.2, the one that came with Debian Stretch

[steckerhalter]

Experiencing this as well on Debian Stretch.

Seeing this as well. Stock Debian 9 with GNOME 3, snapd v2.21. Not only the menu is missing, all text labels are textless, including file/dir names in the open file dialog and all buttons. Also seeing this when running from shell:

Qt: Session management error: None of the authentication protocols specified are supported

I'm seeing the same thing with Fedora 26, GNOME 3.24.2, snap v2.30-1.fc26.

Qt: Session management error: None of the authentication protocols specified are supported
QFont::setPointSizeF: Point size <= 0 (-0.750000), must be greater than 0

Same problem on Fedora 27 with kepassxc 2.3.0.
Qt: Session management error: None of the authentication protocols specified are supported QFont::setPointSizeF: Point size <= 0 (-0.750000), must be greater than 0

$ snap --version
snap 2.30-1.fc27 snapd 2.30-1.fc27 series 16 fedora 27 kernel 4.15.4-300.fc27.x86_64

Ugh can't it show where that point size call is being made

[mttkrb]

The point size call is beeing made when the mouse is over a button or label without text.

[mttkrb]

Maybe is it the same problem like this?

After debugging a bit, I managed to fix it locally. The issues is caused by missing links in the home dir.

Version 2.3.0 with the bug:

$ ls -lA ~/snap/keepassxc/33/.local/share
total 4.0K
drwxr-xr-x 1 user user  14 2018-03-03 14:48 glib-2.0/
drwxr-xr-x 1 user user 192 2018-03-03 14:49 icons/
drwxr-xr-x 1 user user 348 2018-03-03 14:48 mime/
lrwxrwxrwx 1 user user  35 2018-03-03 14:48 themes -> /snap/keepassxc/33/usr/share/themes/

Version 2.2.4 without the bug:

$ ls -lA ~/snap/keepassxc/26/.local/share
total 16K
lrwxrwxrwx 1 user user  39 2018-03-03 14:58 fontconfig -> /snap/keepassxc/26/usr/share/fontconfig

lrwxrwxrwx 1 user user  36 2018-03-03 14:58 fonts-* -> /snap/keepassxc/26/usr/share/fonts-*
drwxr-xr-x 1 user user  14 2018-03-03 14:59 glib-2.0/

lrwxrwxrwx 1 user user  35 2018-03-03 14:58 themes -> /snap/keepassxc/26/usr/share/themes/

After recreating the missing links, the fonts show up correctly

$ ln -s /snap/keepassxc/33/usr/share/fontconfig ~/snap/keepassxc/33/.local/share/fontconfig && ln -s '/snap/keepassxc/33/usr/share/fonts-*' ~/snap/keepassxc/33/.local/share/'fonts-*' && ln -s /snap/keepassxc/33/usr/share/fonts ~/snap/keepassxc/33/.local/share/fonts

[mttkrb]

Perfect. After adding the missing links it works.

I spent a couple hours looking into this and can reproduce on Debian Stretch. I tried removing some of the extra packages we include in our Qt5 desktop support library for snaps to no avail. I believe this is something wrong with the desktop-launch script that builds the directories in the .local/share folder. For whatever reason, our snap is not completing this build out correctly on Debian.

I installed electrum snap (bitcoin wallet based on Qt) and the directories were created perfectly fine....

[mikefedyk]

I can reproduce the problem on Fedora 27 Plasma as well.

[mttkrb]

With the actual Fedora Updates I have to create following links:
ln -s /snap/keepassxc/37/usr/share/fontconfig ~/snap/keepassxc/37/.local/share/fontconfig && ln -s '/snap/keepassxc/37/usr/share/fonts-*' ~/snap/keepassxc/37/.local/share/'fonts-*' && ln -s /snap/keepassxc/37/usr/share/fonts ~/snap/keepassxc/37/.local/share/fonts

[aspyct]

I'm also having this issue on Debian Stretch, but it seems it is yet again slightly different. I didn't have the fontconfig file/folder nor the fonts-*.

After linking the fonts, everything seems fine.
ln -s /snap/keepassxc/current/usr/share/fonts ~/snap/keepassxc/current/.local/share/fonts
(where current is 37)

[roben]

ln -s /snap/keepassxc/current/usr/share/fonts ~/snap/keepassxc/current/.local/share/fonts
worked for me, too. Thanks! (Debian stretch)

[droidmonkey]

Please see if this still persists with the latest snap build posted.

[ilmaisin]

Now the text seems to be fine.
