Postman showing empty boxes when browsing file manager

Hi;
Since almost two weeks of searching for any solution did not bear any fruition, I need to ask for help.:slight_smile:
I have seen number of threads with this exact problem, but not one was able to fix my issue. If someone have time to help, I will provide more details. Thanks!

Summary

I use postman every day - no issues - you are most likely missing a font - other than that - no clue

Summary

This issue looks like a GTK language or font issue. I assume you are russian or ? Maybe Cyrillic letters need other fonts than used in postman. I don’t know how you installed it. Maybe start postman in terminal with language reset?

LANG=C postman

Thanks for replying; I’m Serbian, but I use English language on my device.
This is the output I got when I executed LANG=C postman command:

Please ensure you have the packages xapp and libcanberra is installed.

sudo pacman -Syu libcanberra xapp

Check which languages are set:

grep -v "#" /etc/locale.gen 

(change it if needed)
and generate it again:

sudo locale-gen

I guess I had somehow a similar problem with GTK Apps in the past which was solved this way.

That’s not by chance a snap package is it?

I did, problem still persists.

[ Desktop]$grep -v "#" /etc/locale.gen

Yes, it is…

ok… then locale-gen has no effect to snap packages… no idea what can be done here since I don’t use snaps. Since it is officially supported and the developer is verfied, go and ask the devs whats wrong there with the snap. The snap holds all dependencies and don’t use Manjaros libraries and locales.

At least you can download the package from here and just run it.

Or use the AUR. There is a PKGBUILD, which will install the same binary with one command globally.

pamac build postman-bin

Ahh - I don’t use snap - but install using the AUR pkgbuild

Enough said. Plenty of snaps do that. Main reason I never use them. I would do what @megavolt suggested and install via AUR.
