Hi,
Upgrading from nrfConnect for Desktop from v 2.6 to v 2.7 and higher and its associated apps seems to hang on Linux (ubuntu 16.04). 'strace' suggests that the problem may be related to fusefs and appImage.
I originally installed the development environment for the 9160DK using the 'Getting Started' app for nrfConnect 2.6. The 'LTE monitor' app worked as expected with at_client, as did asset_tracker.
When nrfConnect offered to upgrade to v 2.7 and later to v 3.0, I accepted both times. I also upgraded the 'Getting Started' app, via the 'add/remove apps' menu. With both 2.7 and 3.0, I observe the following failure:
Launching the 'Getting Started' app (now at v 1.0.0), hangs with a blank window and spinning blue icon. The 'LTE monitor' app (still at v 0.9.0, since I didn't upgrade it) also hangs with a blank window and spinning blue icon.
Returning to nrfConnect v 2.6 lets the 'LTE monitor' (still at v 0.9.0) app work again, but the 'Getting Started' app (now at v.1.0.0) still hangs with the spinning blue icon.
Running strace on nrfConnect v 3.0 and running the 'Getting Started' app (v 1.0.0 ) shows a mount permission error and a /bin/fusermount error.
Given the EPERM error, I tried running nrfConnect as root. This hangs hard, with strace showing a tight loop of read/write calls between the AppImage and /dev/fuse.
Any suggestions?
