Originally created by @giantpinkrobots on GitHub (Jul 27, 2022).

I've tried running RustDesk first with the .deb package, then with the AppImage, all have given me a blank screen. Then I tried to compile the 1.1.9 version from source and that has given me a transparent window:

(My screenshot utility gives it a blank background, but in reality it is transparent)

When I try to run it via the terminal, it gives me a blank screen and a warning, saying that it fails to load the following file:
/rustdesk-1.1.9/target/debug/src/ui/index.html" file, error=2
When I looked at the debug folder, there's no such src folder inside.

How to fix this?
I'm using KDE Neon with the KDE Plasma desktop environment. Based on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS

This https://github.com/rustdesk/rustdesk/issues/93 had the same issue, but I failed to reproduce on my KDE Neon. We are rewriting UI with Flutter to discard Sciter, https://github.com/rustdesk/rustdesk/tree/flutter_desktop, I believe the issue can be solved in Flutter. Please allow us some time.

I understand. Thanks for the swift reply.

I've fixed the issue by changing my system locale and region to American English. Now it displays properly.
