nRF Connect, Ubuntu Gnome 17.04, blank window

Ladasky

Hello everyone,

I'm usually on the cutting edge with Ubuntu Linux. I upgrade my development box frequently, because I like the precompiled binaries in the Ubuntu repository. I prefer to use my time building nRF52 apps from source, rather than building Linux apps from source.

I just upgraded to Ubuntu Gnome 17.04. I also have nRF Connect v 1.1.1. I have a PCA10040 board connected to a USB port, to use as a BLE receiver.

I had everything working in 16.04, save for a mysterious, but apparently harmless, JavaScript error message which occurred when I closed nRF Connect (click here if you're interested).

On 17.04, nRF Connect starts up correctly. The Select serial port pull down menu shows my PCA10040 board attached to /dev/tty/ACM0. However, when I select that board, the whole nRF Connect window goes... blank.

Please advise, thanks.

    Thanks for your reply, Jørgen. I didn't know about the console log window. It does not appear that I can post a screen shot, so I will have to type what I saw, and it may run longer than one post.

    Item 1 in the console log:

    /home/john/bin/nrf-connect-linux-x64/resources/app/node_modules/nrfconnect-appmodule-ble/node_modules/react/lib/ReactDOM.js:75

    Download the React DevTools and use an HTTP server (instead of a file: URL) for a better development experience: https://fb.me/react-devtools

    Item 2:

    bundle.js:8483

    Database is not ready yet. Storing entries in queue for later storage in DB.

    (to be continued)
