Description

I’m trying to build kDrive as a standalone binary (without AppImage containerization) but even if I thoroughly follow the prerequisites listed here, when launching the application the login WebView is pretty much unusable. All UI updates only happen when the cursor leaves the window or when closing the right-click context menu.

Steps to reproduce

In a fresh Ubuntu 24.04 VM, run the following commands (might take a long time):

cd ~

# OS dependencies
sudo apt install -y git cmake clang autotools-dev automake libtool m4 libcurl4-openssl-dev curl build-essential qt6-base-dev zlib1g-dev pkg-config qt6-webengine-dev qt6-5compat-dev libsqlite3-dev qt6-svg-dev libsecret-1-dev qt6-tools-dev pkg-config qt6-positioning-dev

objcopy --add-gnu-debuglink=$CONTENTDIR/kDrive_client-amd64.dbg "./bin/kDrive_client"
make DESTDIR=$APPDIR install
cp $BASEPATH/sync-exclude-linux.lst $APPDIR/usr/bin/sync-exclude.lst

# Run kDrive
../app/usr/bin/kDrive

# One could also use the CI build script instead
# cd ~/desktop-kDrive
# chmod +x ./infomaniak-build-tools/linux/build-ci-amd64.sh
# ./infomaniak-build-tools/linux/build-ci-amd64.sh
# cp sync-exclude-linux.lst build-linux/app/usr/bin/sync-exclude.lst
# ./build-linux/app/usr/bin/kDrive

Then you can reproduce the issue with these steps:

  1. Click on any of the login form input fields
    • Notice that the form don’t get the focus (at least as seen in the UI, in fact is is focused)
  2. Type something on your keyboard
    • Notice that nothing is shown in the input (but in fact the text is present in the input, it just doesn’t show)
  3. Move your mouse cursor outside the window to see the UI update
    • Alternatively, you can right-click in the window and click anywhere else than in the context menu to see the UI update

Expected behavior

One would expect to be able to build a fully working kDrive app without AppImage containerization. In fact, once you get past the login form pain, the app is usable and works fine!

Additional context

Basically, I’m trying to build a binary version of kDrive for NixOS. I managed to build the AppImage version but I have the same issue with the login form, so I tried to build it as a standalone binary and also succeeded with the same issue. I then decided to try to build
it on Ubuntu as a standalone binary to see if there was the same issue, and indeed the issue arise even on Ubuntu.

I know that kDrive is not meant to be built as a standalone binary, but I believe I’m not far from a working solution, I just have to figure what the heck is going on with the login form. Would love some help on this matter!

I might add that even if in the steps to reproduce I used the Qt packages from Ubuntu repositories, I also tried the build with the Qt tools installed through Qt installer, with the same result.
