Hello, I am new to Endless OS but very impressed.

It is possible the default Encyclopedia App pm the Desktop does not work in french ? I can type words, click them but nothing show up

I tried in english and same results ( installed Endless OS english in a VM to test)

JF
Good job to the team… I tried 10, 20 Linux distro and Endless is " SO Sharp / Clean, Simple"… Talking to people about it already

OK I realized I use the French iso and saw your website after that english is more fully supported
And my English test was done using the french iso choosing English as default language

Now I will download the English ISO to see if Encyclopedia is working better

Something that would help us a lot to understand the problem would be this:

  1. Open the application called ‘Terminal’
  2. In this application run the command:

eos-diagnostics

  1. The above command will create a file with the information of your system (example: eos-diagnostic-160614_111731_UTC + 0100.txt); Send us this file so we can analyze and see a possible solution

                                               This probably reflects a bug in the program.
                                               The error was 'BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes)'.

@ptomato any ideas? Fallout from a GJS or WebKit upgrade?

Ok, I found it.

if Endless is installed on a computer and not in a VM (Virtual Box), Encylopedia is working well

Huh, that’s very strange. This error usually shows up when misusing threads, but we don’t use threads in the Encyclopedia app.

From your update I’d guess that it’s a bug in WebKit with the VirtualBox video driver. Try turning off 3D acceleration in VirtualBox if it is on. I have definitely had problems with that before.

I will try and let you know
