Catlight does not work on debian stretch

Hi, I have debian stretch installed, and I tried to install Catlight 2.15.4, I saw that it needs libicu52 which it does not exist on stretch, so I used jessie repo to get it, then install Catlight-2.15.4.deb with dpkg, it started but with empty content, it has only menu, but it does not work if I try to sign in, or add a connection, but it can redirect me through the browser if I click on "Report a Problem".

I attached a screenshot for it.

Best regards,

Thanks for sending the logs!

CatLight app has two processes - background service that does the build status checking and a UI process that communicates with background service using a local TCP port. 

Looks like the UI part cannot connect to the background service. This could happen if some firewall is blocking the connection, or if there is a proxy server configured that intercepts connections to localhost. 

If you have a firewall/proxy running, you can try suspending them to see if that changes the situation.

Hi,

Is it a fixed port or it's a dynamic ? if it's fixed, what is the port number ?

Thanks

The port is dynamic, but the client and server are both on 127.0.0.1 , so allowing communication from local ports to local ports might help.

Humm, weird, because I have docker services, and normally docker use iptables and I can connect from one service to another without any problem, maybe it's a port conflict, I need to check about this.

Thanks

Hi Again,

I checked that I don't have ufw installed, and also I ran these for iptables just to be sure that internal connections will work:

  • sudo iptables -A INPUT -i lo -j ACCEPT
  • sudo iptables -A OUTPUT -o lo -j ACCEPT

I reinstall catlight, and started it with sudo first it gave this error

"arkan@debian:~$ sudo catlight
Gtk-Message: Failed to load module "canberra-gtk-module"
[2017-11-29 14:36:24.738] [INFO] main - Starting app
...etc"

Then I installed it

arkan@debian:~$  sudo apt-get -y install libcanberra-gtk-module

Then run it again and I got, and you will find in the below logs there are some clickings from the UI, which I tried from the UI, but it's just logged here like "Tray icon clicked", "Global settings clicked", "Open Dashboard clicked", ...etc, but nothing happens on the UI:
