Problem

when running the AppImage (using this command: ) it seems as if it's starting regularly, but it gets stuck on this line:

(node:58876) [DEP0018] DeprecationWarning: Unhandled promise rejections are deprecated. In the future, promise rejections that are not handled will terminate the Node.js process with a non-zero exit code.

here is the full Terminal output:

hi, did you use the prebuild linked in the Q&A?

[Itai-Nelken]

I used the arm64 version from here: /~https://github.com/GitSquared/edex-ui/releases/tag/v2.2.4

[GitSquared]

Could give the output of uname -a?

[Itai-Nelken]

Linux UbuntuPi4-ultra-4gb 5.8.0-1007-raspi #10-Ubuntu SMP PREEMPT Thu Nov 5 17:52:40 UTC 2020 aarch64 aarch64 aarch64 GNU/Linux

[GitSquared]

Possibly related: microsoft/vscode#106656

Could you get me the ldd --version on the Pi?

How's progress coming on this issue?

[GitSquared]

Haven't reproduced because i don't have an arm device, so, nothing to share for now...

I have a spare Raspberry Pi that you can play around with using a remote desktop. Interested?
If so, I'll send you an email.

[GitSquared]

Damn spam. Thanks for the offer but I'm afraid I don't have the time to schedule a synchronous remote debugging session. Keep in mind this repo is, officially at least, unmaintained...

I would leave my Pi on 24/7 so you could login to it anytime you wanted to. (So no scheduling required)
But if that's not something you're interested in, I understand.

[GitSquared]

You might want to check in v2.2.6, which has updated C libs and more ARM support (also an armv7 target, wich might work on the Pi)

[Itai-Nelken]

thanks!

[Itai-Nelken]

the release isn't appearing, how much time does it take until it appears on the releases page?

[GitSquared]

Check back in a few minutes, I'm just finishing writing the changelog ;)

[GitSquared]

@Itai-Nelken Just released. /~https://github.com/GitSquared/edex-ui/releases/tag/v2.2.6

@Itai-Nelken Just released. /~https://github.com/GitSquared/edex-ui/releases/tag/v2.2.6

See issue #1051. Hopefully it's an easy fix.

If you'd like, I can lend you one of my Pies as a remote desktop for you.

[GitSquared]

@Botspot I'm gonna take you up on that offer. I can send you my ssh key's fingerprint if you'd like - drop me a mail: gabriel@saillard.dev
