I can confirm this is still present on a fresh install of vivid/15.04 with MATE & liferea package 1.10.12-1ubuntu1.
On initial launch, Liferea just seems to hang and in `strace` it is stuck in a loop (`top` indicating <1% CPU usage) at recvmsg(7, {msg_name(0)=NULL, msg_iov(1)=[{"U\2;\1SP]\3\3\20\0\0\20\0\0\0\0\0\0\20\20\20\20\20\0\0\3\37\205\3\0\0", 4096}], msg_controllen=0, msg_flags=0}, 0) = 32 recvmsg(7, 0x7ffd814d5550, 0) = -1 EAGAIN (Resource temporarily unavailable) recvmsg(7, 0x7ffd814d5530, 0) = -1 EAGAIN (Resource temporarily unavailable) poll([{fd=3, events=POLLIN}, {fd=5, events=POLLIN}, {fd=7, events=POLLIN}, {fd=16, events=POLLIN}], 4, 3654) = 1 ([{fd=7, revents=POLLIN}]) recvmsg(7, {msg_name(0)=NULL, msg_iov(1)=[{"U\2;\1@R]\3\3\24\4\0\20\0\0\0\0\0\0\24\24\24\24\24\0\0\3\37B\2\0\0", 4096}], msg_controllen=0, msg_flags=0}, 0) = 32 recvmsg(7, 0x7ffd814d5550, 0) = -1 EAGAIN (Resource temporarily unavailable) recvmsg(7, 0x7ffd814d5530, 0) = -1 EAGAIN (Resource temporarily unavailable) However, if forced to show using `liferea --mainwindow-state="shown"`, then it appears. (Subsequent invocations also need `--mainwindow-state` as well, it seems.) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1186801 Title: liferea is completely invisible when running on xubuntu To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/liferea/+bug/1186801/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
