Building and installing the package resolves the issue for me.

Hello, i have updated to last electron and rocketchat-desktop. But unfortunately i am still getting the exact same error: blank gray screen after conntecing to my server

Rocketchat-desktop version: 3.8.3 electron version: 18.0.3

Error Message on Console

/usr/bin/../lib64/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/11.2.0/../../../../include/c++/11.2.0/bits/unique_ptr.h:659: typename std::add_lvalue_reference<element_type>::type std::unique_ptr<blink::CSSSelector []>::operator[](std::size_t) const [_Tp = blink::CSSSelector [], _Dp = std::default_delete<blink::CSSSelector []>]: Assertion 'get() != pointer()' failed.

3.8.2 was not compatible with electron18. 3.8.3 now is according to the changelog: https://github.com/RocketChat/Rocket.Chat.Electron/releases/tag/3.8.3

so all good now

I ran 3.8.3 under Wayland just fine; I can't vouch for X11, however. Please let me know if anyone else can't run this package. I will consider pinning this package to electron17 as listed below if this is a widespread issue.

For now adding community/electron17 as a dependency and patching /usr/bin/rocketchat-desktop to call 'exec electron17 /usr/lib/rocketchat-desktop "$@"' solves problems.

After this last update, now i have a blank gray screen after connecting my server. My electron version is v18.0.3

When i run from terminal i got this error:

$ rocketchat-desktop

update of electron to 16.0.7-2 breaks the ability to scroll up in Rocketchat (reinstalling/recompiling with a clean build does not solve the problem). The client freezes and turns grey, has to be reloaded from the View-menu but you still can't scroll up without the issue reappearing. I switched to the rocketchat-client-bin package because that one does not rely on the installed electron.

Lifesaver!!!

Co-maintainer spots are open, as I don't use this often enough.
