After upgrading to net-im/signal-desktop-bin-1.40.0 the signal window is blank, further upgrade to net-im/signal-desktop-bin-1.40.0-r1 did not resolve the situation. Closing the blank signal windows still leaves signal processes running and they must be killed with -9. Moving the signal config folder ~/.config/Signal to another location to start fresh does not help.

Did exactly the same steps and same problem: net-im/signal-desktop-bin-1.40.0 => net-im/signal-desktop-bin-1.40.0-r1 => mv ~/.config/Signal ~/.config/Signal.previous
Okay I can reproduce this. If I remove ~/.config and ~/.cache altogether, it WORKS on first launch, but shows a blank screen after each launch. I can get it to work everytime I remove these directories. Preferably this'd need some gdb backtrace, I tried stracing but it provided no useful info.

For what it is worth, I have a system with which 1.40.0-r1 works fine. People who had a working installation of 1.40.0-r1 should *not* downgrade, since Signal will then complain about a mismatching database version and refuse to start. Thankfully I had 'downgrade-backup' set in FEATURES and could install the newer version again. Let me know if there's any info I can give about my system that could clear this up.
(In reply to Wolfgang Müller from comment #4) > People who had a working installation of 1.40.0-r1 should *not* downgrade, > since Signal will then complain about a mismatching database version and > refuse to start. I tried downgrading and it gave me a popup window stating this, but it offered to "delete data and continue" which worked. The previous version seems to at least launch fine now. > Let me know if there's any info I can give about my system that could clear > this up. I don't use signal so passing this on to the maintainer, but it looks like some feedback and collaboration is needed here.
I've also 1.40.0-r1 installed and it works fine for me. Downgrading is not an option as signal is not working then, resetting the database also is not an option as I'd loose message history. Why was 1.40.0-r1 deleted from portage after being committed instead of masked? In my view, masking is the proper way to handle this, as now, my portage wants to force downgrade my signal-desktop to 1.39.6 as this is the only available solution.

You don't have to kill the processes with "kill -9" as they will shutdown themselves over time, a couple of minutes.

I have been able to reproduce this now. I found this bug report upstream: https://github.com/signalapp/Signal-Desktop/issues/3281#issuecomment-592100185 Can you please try starting signal-desktop --disable-gpu and signal-desktop --enable-logging The former solve the problem for me, the latter showed GPU process crashes. If it solves the problem for you, please let me know which GPU and kernel version you're using and provide the console output again. Thanks!

I've tested this several times, so definitely something with the library libGLESv2.so in the bin package.
Looks like someone added a bug report on GitHub for this: https://github.com/signalapp/Signal-Desktop/issues/5047 So I added my information to it over there.
I installed on two Gentoo computers. One went directly to the blue screen. The other worked fine the first day, but upon second startup it went to blue screen as well. Interestingly, after overwriting the shipped libGLESv2.so with a symlink, the window became black, but now the application is responsive (i.e you can quit it with Ctrl+Q or via systray) and the crashes in dmesg are no longer there. /opt/Signal/libGLESv2.so -> /usr/lib64/libGLESv2.so
The github issue mentioned above discusses disabling GPU as workaround. It seems to work (test on only one of the computers): signal-desktop --start-in-tray --disable-gpu

Could you test signal-desktop-bin-1.40.0-r2? It just removes the bundled libGLESv2.so. Originally I tried using patchelf to load /usr/lib64 one, but signal-desktop loads it properly, just priorities /opt/Signal/libGLESv2.so over the system one if it's present. It now seems to work for me properly.
Also for any future reports please show: emerge -pv --nodeps mesa libglvnd

Sorry for the spam! Please test signal-desktop-bin-1.40.0-r3 now, which is still masked. Our chromium team member advised against linking libEGL.so to system libs since the chromium bundled one is a bit modified. So far this ebuild works fine for me, at least I get to login screen. I have a feeling "this was it".

signal-desktop-bin-1.40.0-r3 is working for me.
