App Not Working on Raspberry Pi

[dbalague]

Please agree to the following

• I have searched existing issues for duplicates

Summary

The screen is blank when running the desktop app

What software is involved?

• Operating System: Raspberry Pi OS / Debian GNU/Linux 12 (bookworm)
• OneKeePass: 0.17.0
• Hardware: Raspberry Pi 5 8GB

Steps to Reproduce

1. Compile
2. cd src-tauri/target/aarch64-unknown-linux-gnu/release
3. ./OneKeePass

Expected Behavior

The app should work normally

Actual Behavior

The main screen appears blank. If I click OneKeePass->About OneKeePass the screen is also blank. (See the images). When clicking the 'X' the windows does not close. None of the other menus work.

Reproducibility

Always

Relevant Log Output

2025-12-20 21:58:03 - Intit app is done
No language preference is found and will use current locale language instead
2025-12-20 21:58:03 - All webview windows are ["main"]
2025-12-20 21:58:03 - Application is ready
2025-12-20 21:58:09 - Window event is CloseRequested and will not be closed for window main

Anything else?

To compile the app, I modified the justfile adding a section for Linux arm:

aarch64-linux-build:
    #!/usr/bin/env bash
    set -euxo pipefail
    export BOTAN_CONFIGURE_OS='linux'
    export BOTAN_CONFIGURE_CC_ABI_FLAGS='-march=native'
    export BOTAN_CONFIGURE_CPU='aarch64'
    export BOTAN_CONFIGURE_DISABLE_MODULES='tls,pkcs11,sodium,filters'

    just build-cljs-bundle

    just -f ./onekeepass-proxy/justfile build-cp-linux-aarch64 true

    # This will build "release"
    cargo tauri build --target aarch64-unknown-linux-gnu

And in onekeepass-proxy/justfile I added these:

# aarch64-unknown-linux-gnu

build-linux-aarch64 release="":
    cargo build --target aarch64-unknown-linux-gnu {{ if release == "true" {"--release" } else {""}  }}

build-cp-linux-aarch64 release="":(build-linux-aarch64 release)
    rm -f ./binaries/*
    mkdir -p ./binaries
    cp ./target/aarch64-unknown-linux-gnu/{{ if release == "true" {"release"} else {"debug"} }}/onekeepass-proxy ./binaries/onekeepass-proxy-aarch64-unknown-linux-gnu

It would be nice if it could run on the Raspberry Pi

Hi @dbalague

I assume you have installed the required Linux packages as per https://v2.tauri.app/start/prerequisites/#linux .

Most of the steps what you are doing seems to be correct. You are able to compile and launch the app. So most probably the UI build output may not be there

Did you see the compiling of Clojurescript using the step 'just build-cljs-bundle' worked ? You should see 'desktop/resources/public/cljs-out/dev/main_bundle.js' if that step worked.

Thanks

Hi @jeyasankar!

Unfortunately, I am not familiar with the tools you use for developing the software, so I can't be more helpful...

But indeed, I installed the packages from tauri and I did find the file main_bundle.js in the mentioned directory.

[dbalague]

Just for the sake of my sanity, I tried to compile it also on MacOS with aarch64 and I get exactly the same behavior.

The binary you guys provide for MacOS works with no issues. But if I compile it from source I obtain the same issue as in the Raspberry Pi.

Perhaps there is something missing in the compilation instructions? I also found errors when compiling (I submitted a pull request with a fix).

Hi @dbalague,

You are absolutely correct.

The issue is some cljs compile issue. The call just build-cljs-bundle should be replaced by just build-cljs-bundle simple.

Using just build-cljs-bundle simple should work. Please let me know how that works

I will update documentation accordingly

Thanks for the nice works

Hi @jeyasankar!

Thanks for your reply. It is awesome that you guys put so much effort and care on this app. Indeed, changing the line to simple makes the app work.

However, there are a couple of things to take into consideration:

1. The app compiles and works. The only thing that did not get fixed is the OneKeePass->About OneKeePass window. Once it opens, the images do not work and the text does not appear. Here is what I observe on the Raspberry Pi and on MacOS:

2. On the Raspberry Pi, once I open the app, it starts rendering and it looks like this:

However, after resizing the window it shows normally. I don't think that is a bug on your side, but probably something on the Raspberry Pi. It happens every time I open the app.

Perhaps we should start a new threat regarding the "About" window?

Thank you again for your help!
