On (K)Ubuntu 22.04 preview shows no images

How to reproduce:

  • make a fresh install of the lastest jalbum package jalbum_28.1-1_amd64.deb
  • no customizing at all
  • open project "Sample Portfolio" coming with jalbum (or create a tiny new project with just one or two images)
  • Make album

The internal bowser opens the album and shows the title and empty frames only, no images. Clicking on an empty frame will open the "image" which consist of a little white pumping ball.

Any ideas?

Not sure why it's failing, but it doesn't really matter. Go to Tools > Preferences > General > Preview, and choose External browser and Use embedded web server.

In that case, I have no clue. These things work just fine in Windows and macOS, which covers about 98% of the users.

Maybe David has the time to wade into it.

Please open jAlbum's system console (F7), then copy and paste the following in the upper panel of the console window:
Desktop.getDesktop().browse(new URI("http://jalbum.net"));
Now hit the execute button to execute this statement. This should open jalbum.net in your default browser. Does it?

No, it doesn't :-(

Seems to be a problem of detecting the default browser firefox (via flatpak)

xdg-settings get default-web-browser says:

org.mozilla.firefox.desktop

and the System console log says:

An unexpected error occurred. Please see detailed description below:

The error 
java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException: The BROWSE action is not supported on the current platform!
makes me suspect that your Linux distro doesn't play well with JavaFX 14. We're working towards making the move to JavaFX 18. That will hopefully resolve this.

+1 on the problem.
Just upgraded (K)Ubuntu 20.04 to 22.04 and have the missing images on preview.
Worked perfectly on 20.04.
I've used jAlbum long enough to trust that everything is working as it should, so, I just upload the album and check it once it hits my web server; to verify my changes. A slight pain, but not a deal-breaker.

The upcoming jAlbum release will run on Java 18 instead of Java 14. This will hopefully fix this issue. If not, let the (K)Ubuntu people know.

I have/had the same problem after upgrading to Ubuntu 22.04 a few days ago (20220913).

But after executing your test script, jalbum.net opens in Firefox as a new tab. No error messages in the console.

Only pictures don't show, but videos in the album can be played in the local viewer.

After following Jeff Tuckers' suggestion, “Go to Tools > Preferences > General > Preview, and choose External browser and Use embedded web server”, the album shows OK in the Firefox browser.
So with my Ubuntu 22.04 it's only the internal viewer that doesn't work.

Another difference with the original poster is that I use XUbuntu, with XFCE desktop and he uses KDE desktop.
I don't think that should be an issue.

Does this give another view on the issue?

Can you give the latest jAlbum beta a try on your Linux machine? All at https://jalbum.net/forum/thread.jspa?messageID=357338&#357338

This beta runs on Java 18. Hopefully they've addressed some of the Linux specific problems now.

I tested v28.2b5 Java18 and tested all 3 preview options (integrated, windows, external).
All 3 are working fine now.

Problem solved?
