Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/open-webui/desktop/issues/178

When using the .deb package. I get a gray screen when trying to connect to my remote server.

The app does launch with the deb package, unlike snap and flatpak on Ubuntu 26.04.

I can confirm this for the local connection and for a remote connection. Both are running in Web Browser Firefox.

@frenzybiscuit could you confirm the issue has been addressed with the latest release?

Since 0.19 I get a lighter grey screen than before - but still grey:

It works if I launch it using this command in terminal: open-webui --no-sandbox

However I can't use that as a workaround because SSO login opens in a new browser window and doesn't pass the session back.

Tested on: Ubuntu 26.04
Version 0.20.
