The pop up is a wails embedded browser kit (https://wails.io). The blank page may be caused by an error in the routing.

To debug, we can try to print the event that is sent to wails and see why the switch statement for the routing doesn't redirect to the expected page.

@Thykof how can I dump wails log after launching massastation in terminal ?

If I would do it, I would modify the code to add some LogPrint (https://wails.io/docs/reference/runtime/log/#logprint).

Still buggy after upgrading to station v0.6.1 after mainnet launch

From Wails FAQ:

My application has started to just show a blank window on Linux. What's going on?

It seems that there might be some issues with certain graphics card drivers that is causing this. One propsed workaround is to set an environment variable before launching: WEBKIT_DISABLE_DMABUF_RENDERER=1

While this might work, it might cause issues with other Webkit apps if set system wide since it will be applied to any Wekbit app.

A solution to this might be to create our own env variable such as STATION_WEBKIT_DISABLE_DMABUF_RENDERER. At wallet start up, before starting Wails, we check if this variable exists and is set to 1. If so, we then inject WEBKIT_DISABLE_DMABUF_RENDERER=1 into the running wallet env.

That way, we could ask users with this issue to set STATION_WEBKIT_DISABLE_DMABUF_RENDERER globally and other Webkit apps shouldn't have any issue due to WEBKIT_DISABLE_DMABUF_RENDERER

Man ! You're a lifesaver! That just worked fine!

I opened a terminal, ran "export WEBKIT_DISABLE_DMABUF_RENDERER=1" then ran massastation and... tada ! everything is fixed !
Thumbs up !
