Problem

[serapath]

The debug command mentioned on the website runs through.

my npm start command gives me:

 λ npm start

> [email protected] start /home/serapath/workspace/friends
> npm run build-css && electron index.js 2>&1 | silence-chromium


> [email protected] build-css /home/serapath/workspace/friends
> mkdirp dist && stylus -u nib css/app.styl -o dist/ -c

  compiled dist/app.css

But I'm stuck with a window that opens and has a white background and nothing loads.
How can i debug the problem?

I think what you need is npm run rebuild-leveldb first

[ungoldman]

Yep, leveldb needs to be rebuilt for electron as they forked V8
