Re: [Geary] Main window not shown

[Jim Nelson <jim yorba org>]

Just to be clear, do you have 5 email accounts registered with Geary?  And, what version of GTK+ are you using?

Database upgrade 22 requires repopulating the attachment table, which can take a while with an old/large mail database.  That shouldn't be a problem with a fresh account, though, so I'm not sure that's the problem.  (Also, a progress bar should be displayed while it's working).

If you bring up System Monitor, do you see the Geary process spinning (i.e. approx 100% CPU)?

Hi all,

I've been running Geary since version 0.2 but have hit a snag in my latest upgrade. I'm using Arch Linux, and the behaviour is the same whether I use the repository version (0.8) or compile from git head.

I get my usual popup from gnome-keyring, but after this the geary main window isn't shown. geary --debug gives this output:

... and here it stops. The process does not terminate, but no window is shown. I don't seem to have any issues with any other modern gtk apps e.g. evince (which also complains about missing adwaita) .

Putting ~/.local/share/geary aside means I see the "create new account" dialog, but after setting one up I end up back in this situation again.

Any advice about how to debug this would be great!

Cheers,

Oliver
