Unresponsive when launching through NickelMenu on Kobo Libra 2

[gwoob]

When I launch UltumateMangaReader through NickelMenu my Libra 2 goes unresponsive and requires a hard restart to regain responsiveness.

Latest version of everything.

I do have the same Problem :C

[Hirngreifer]

Yes but I don't think he works on this project anymore at least not in the near future.

Same here. Worth noting that /mnt/onboard/.adds/UltimateMangaReader/logs.txt does not contain any logs after this happens.

Same issue on the new Kobo Libra Color

[kuzniarz]

The problem sadly still persists on the newest release with Kobo Libra 2! Is someone working on this?

@kuzniarz i'm trying to take a look at it, but am not very experienced with C++ so I have no idea if I'll figure out what's wrong. I'm on Kobo Libra Color so i may need your help testing it on the Libra 2, maybe the issue's different.

Ok after building from source (was a huge pain) with debug symbols enabled and trying to make some minor changes, I'm getting some error logs:

This is on Kobo Libra Color, previously to this log.txt was empty so I think i am onto something. I'll try over the next few weeks to figure out what's going on. Wish me luck 😅

[kuzniarz]

@mehanix Best of luck! You got this! Let me know if I can be of any help. I'll for sure be able to at least verify the same behavior on my Kobo Libra 2 or test your fix, if you're able to get it working!

@kuzniarz After updating fbink to the latest version in the platform plugin and moving to qt 5.15.2 i got it to boot on my Libra Color without freezing my system! The screen's unresponsive though but it's not frozen (responds to magnetic cover). Progress, certainly, but still a long way to go. I expect it'll take me a few months to get everything in a nice enough shape, if i can figure out the critical issues.

I'll have to note these steps all down so they're reproducible 😅
