Some services requires the app to open the windows in electron. An example is github that requires authentication using oauth.
We are defaulting in opening the links in a external browser, but links can be open ina electron windows by using the 'Crl+Click' combination.
Switching the userAgent with the persistence turn on sometimes have the side effect of "loosing" the channels history. Removing the data under the appropriate config directory should fix the issue.
The following is a list of locations depending on your type installation:
| Type of install | Location | Clean-up command |
|---|---|---|
| Vanilla install | ~/.config/outlook-for-linux |
rm -rf ~/.config/outlook-for-linux |
| snap | ~/snap/outlook-for-linux/current/.config/outlook-for-linux/ |
rm -rf ~/snap/outlook-for-linux/current/.config/outlook-for-linux/ |
| --user installed flatpak | ~/.var/app/com.github.mahmoudbahaa.outlook_for_linux/config/outlook-for-linux |
rm -rf ~/.var/app/com.github.IsmaelMartinez.outlook_for_linux/config/outlook-for-linux |
| From source | ~/.config/Electron/ |
rm -rf ~/.config/Electron/ |
Some notifications daemons in linux don't support the implementation that Microsoft implemented in the browser.
Some users have reported a blank page on login (with the title Microsoft Outlook - initializing).
The following workarounds tend to solve the issue:
- Right click on the Microsoft Outlook icon tray and click on Refresh. (Ctrl+R)
If the above doesn't work:
-
Close the application and delete the application cache folder
-
.config/outlook-for-linux/Partitions/outlook-4-linux/Application Cache -
for Snap installation,
snap/outlook-for-linux/current/.config/outlook-for-linux/Partitions/outlook-4-linux/Application Cache. -
for flatpack,
~/.var/app/com.github.IsmaelMartinez.outlook_for_linux/config/outlook-for-linux/Partitions/outlook-4-linux/Application\ Cache/
Check the config locations to find other installations location
Refer to #171 for more info
If when you reload or close the application you get the blank page again, please repeat the second workaround.
