Rendering issues on ArchLinux/Cinnamon

[bruno-unna]

Hi Wouter!

First things first: thanks for sharing this great program. I can see many hours of fun in my future.

I was considering creating a package for ArchLinux (which is my platform of choice). So, in preparation, and following the instructions, I downloaded the NWJS binary (0.67.0), copied the music-pattern-generator files on top of that, and ran nw. The application runs, and I can even generate MIDI events, that I play with ZynAddSubFX 3.0.6. Fantastic.

Unfortunately, the animated rendering of the elements on the screen is not what I can see in the YouTube video. And I cannot compare it with the web application because that doesn't work for me (no menus, just a blank screen), although I reckon that might have to do with my browser extensions.

I tried the same using the same NWJS version you use (as per your documentation): 0.37.0, to no avail.

I'm running ArchLinux, with kernel 5.18.16-zen1-1-zen on an x86_64 architecture, using pipewire 1:0.3.56-1 and, perhaps more importantly, cinnamon 5.4.9-1.

I'm attaching a short screen video with what the UI looks like. If you think I can do something to help troubleshoot the issue, please let me know.

The web version does not work for me either, with FIrefox.
Its ok with a Chrome-based browser.
