Operating System

Debian GNU/Linux 12 (bookworm) x86-64 (Plasma 5.27.5)

2. Open a .cbz file

Expected Behavior

1. Open a .cbz file
2. The file load successfully
3. You can start reading

   3a. OpenComic freeze to a black screen or white screen depending on theme

Error message

The following is the error message that I get from the console via DevTools:
error.log

Additional Information

I also tried to replicate the freeze on my Arco Linux system, and I have noticed the exact error message appears. But on my Arco Linux system everything works fine. For clarity I use the console log of the Arco Linux system cause for some reason I can't save the Debian console log neither.

Sample file

No response

Thanks for reporting!

This error is fixed in the master branch (40c1b22#L128), although it should not affect the functioning of OpenComic.

What package did you use to install OpenComic? I will build the master branch to see if the error still persists.

[teor0]

I tried both the AppImage and the .deb package on Debian. In both I bumped into the bug. Also I tried opening a .cbz file on Windows and it worked, but this showed open in the console if that helps you:
error.log

[ollm]

Try the following master builds:

AppImage: https://mega.nz/file/nL4EVQ4A#KN5ZWcfMHpUDFkx4w2QpWFBWLbaAehU-UrRqBHA67pY
deb: https://mega.nz/file/nax2mSaR#VsJ_YwsgV9lrDHuOLIyMunFEzjqpv0Qpfjqc4WMPQyg

I have tested the AppImage and it opens cbz correctly at least on Ubuntu 24.04.

So I tried the AppImage, and it worked but for a very little file (circa 8MB). Then I tried to open a bigger one and it froze then I closed it. I started the AppImage via the terminal opened the file and got a bunch of errors:
error.log
Added some comments in it too.

[ollm]

Try this before running the AppImage via the terminal:

export G_SLICE=always-malloc

It seems to be a issue with sharp lovell/sharp#3817 (comment) (Used for thumbnails and image interpolation methods) and electron electron/electron#38048, I also had this issue with Ubuntu 22.04 but not in 24.04.

The solution would be a specific build with an older version of sharp, since this bug only occurs in the latest versions lovell/sharp#3817 (comment)

[teor0]

I have tried the workaround and it finally works. Thanks
