Just downloaded and installed latest version of GWD. Installed with no errors.

Linux Mint Rosa 17.3 Cinnamon. I'm not behind a proxy and Chrome is up to date.

When I run cat ~/.local/share/google-web-designer/logs/browser.log I get:

peter@laptop ~ $ cat ~/.local/share/google-web-designer/logs/browser.log
E0219 10:44:06 ../../shell/cef_objects/ninja_cef_client.cc:382] NinjaCefClient failed to process a shell config.
E0219 10:44:06 ../../shell/core/file_io_manager_base.cc:75] CefRequest failed with error -107

Any help would be great.

Same here, even tried reinstall & open with to see if it would open a existing file.

I did notice there is no custom app icon in the panel button, just the generic app icon.

Ubuntu studio (willy) w/xfce

Same here - exact same logs (I have Verbose logging enabled and see the XML file download fail.) Have tried all the tricks I can find and it still fails. I can easily download the XML config file via Chrome, so it's not simple connectivity. I am also not going through a proxy.

Is the ninja I see in the logs a dependency that didn't get installed?

same problem

I installed with the terminal and got this


~$ google-webdesigner
The program 'google-webdesigner' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadDrawable (invalid Pixmap or Window parameter)'.
(Details: serial 659 error_code 9 request_code 72 minor_code 0)
(Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;
that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.
To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line
option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)


i tried with sync and re-installed x11, both did not work

We just released a new Google Web Designer version (1.6.0.0429, shell: 1.3.5) for 64 bit Linux. Please give it a try and let us know if the white screen issue on launch is resolved.


Thank you
San

broswer.log says:

E0504 15:20:33 ../../../../../../../../../../google/src/cloud/jmayhew/webdesigner_beta_release_branch/branches/webdesigner_beta_release_branch/google3/googleclient/webdesigner/shell/linux/main.cc:53] X error received: type 0, serial 301, error_code 8, request_code 42, minor_code 0

So, it's a different error this time around. Still a white screen.

Actually, the program runs if I run it as sudo. Why do I need elevated privileges to run this app?

Hi All

After downloading the updated app directly from the website, adding a dependency sqlite3 ( sudo apt-get install sqlite3 libsqlite3-dev), then re-booting.

The application finally works on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS

Thank-you
