Joplin-2.14.21 serious bug

GreatWhiteShirt · 2024-05-21T12:26:27.959Z

Operating system

macOS

Joplin version

2.14.21

Desktop version info

Version 2.14.21 (2.14.21)

What issue do you have?

Hi, I just got prompted to update to Joplin-2.14.21 which I just did. The prior version (I always update as soon as notified) worked just fine. 2.14.21 is completely unresponsive.

When I launch Joplin it's very slow and just hangs. The main Joplin window displays eventually but there is no data or content visible. See attached screenshot.

Desktop version of Joplin. Apple Silicon M1 Macbook Pro. Sonoma v 14.6.

Could you please confirm which file you downloaded? Was it " Joplin-2.14.21-arm64.DMG "?

Edit: it works for me on Macbook with Intel processor

I downloaded the file that Joplin automatically prompted me to download. It is titled:

Joplin-2.14.21.dmg

UPDATE:

I just manually downloaded "Joplin-2.14.20-arm64.DMG" reinstalled it (I had to reset the master password) and I seem to be up and running again. It appears to be functioning normally.

It appears Joplin may have erroneously prompted me to download the Intel version. I just assumed it was appropriate.

I'm also getting an error with Joplin 2.14.21 on MacOS Sonoma (x86_64):

Edit: ~~Could this be related to Chore: Fix nan · laurent22/joplin@00d0cd1 · GitHub
Edit 2: It seems that the ARM64 version of SQLite is included in Joplin-2.14.21.dmg:

> fs.readdirSync('/Applications/Joplin.app/Contents/Resources/app.asar/node_modules/sqlite3/lib/binding/')
['napi-v6-darwin-unknown-arm64']

Same error here. Downloaded latest as prompted this morning. Macbook Air Intel, macOS 14.4.1 (23E224). Tried to find older downloads, no luck.

Update: restored to 2.14.17 via Time Machine, working fine.

Based on the build log, I think we're experiencing this issue:

github.com/actions/runner-images

macos 14 is only arm64

Area: Apple OS: macOS bug report

### Description I specify ``` build-bindings: strategy: matri…x: settings: - host: macos-latest target: x86_64-apple-darwin ``` but I get an arm64 host. Are there no more x64 hosts for macos 14? ### Platforms affected - [ ] Azure DevOps - [x] GitHub Actions - Standard Runners - [ ] GitHub Actions - Larger Runners ### Runner images affected - [ ] Ubuntu 20.04 - [ ] Ubuntu 22.04 - [ ] macOS 11 - [ ] macOS 12 - [ ] macOS 13 - [ ] macOS 13 Arm64 - [X] macOS 14 - [ ] macOS 14 Arm64 - [ ] Windows Server 2019 - [ ] Windows Server 2022 ### Image version and build link Image: macos-14-arm64 Version: 20240415.6 ### Is it regression? not sure ### Expected behavior should get latest macos with x64, even if that's not the latest macos ### Actual behavior get arm64 ### Repro steps ask for x64 macos-latest runner

The workflow being used to build the x86 version of MacOS Joplin in CI runs on macos-latest, which seems to now be ARM64.

Same problem here as well, also used Time Machine to roll back successfully to Joplin 2.14.20 (prod, darwin)

Same issue on Macbook Pro M1, macOS 14.5

On the Joplin website, the macOS M1 link still points to 2.14.20.

You can manually download and install the latest version using this link, which fixed the issue for me:

DO NOT DOWNLOAD v2-14.21!!! It will totally wipe out all your files and you'll just get a blank white page. It will not quit. You will have to force-quit twice. Fortunately, I had backed it up on Time Machine just a couple days ago so I was able to reinstall v2.14.20. I'm not trying anything else until I'm sure this bug has been fixed.

MacBook Air, M2, 2023, Sonoma 14.5

Thanks for the Workaround! It helped me instantly.

bigern77 · 2024-05-21T14:46:29.163Z

Same problem on MacOS High Sierra (Intel). The app just shows a white screen. I reverted to v2.14.20 because I still had the .dmg file, and now it works again.

lavapuffer · 2024-05-21T14:53:13.833Z

Same problem on iMac with OS Catalina (10.15.7) with 3.5 GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i7.

I also did what bigern77 did. I had the "2.14.20.dmg" file. Always keep the previous version in your computer.

laurent · 2024-05-21T14:55:41.188Z

If you have downloaded this release please revert to the older one:

For M1: https://github.com/laurent22/joplin/releases/download/v2.14.20/Joplin-2.14.20-arm64.DMG
For Intel: https://github.com/laurent22/joplin/releases/download/v2.14.20/Joplin-2.14.20.dmg

Thank you.

I also had the problem with 2.14.21 on Ventura 13.3.1(a) / Quad Core i5. I'm providing a screenshot of the error message in case the additional detail is helpful:
