I recently started learning MongoDB, and initially, I had no problems with Compass. However, after updating all packages using yay
, Compass started malfunctioning.
When I run it, I first see a white screen, then the normal home page, but as soon as I try to move my mouse, the white screen reappears. I’ve tried refreshing the app, deleting and reinstalling a git version, and even manually deleting all Compass files, but I’m still experiencing the issue.
$ mongodb-compass --version
MongoDB Compass 1.40.2
Refreshing the app (Ctrl+Shift+R)
Deleting and reinstalling a git version $ yay -r mongodb-compass
yay mongodb-compass-git
Manually deleting all Compass files
$ sudo rm -r /home/byalykt/.cache/yay/mongodb-compass
$ sudo rm -r /usr/bin/mongodb-compass
$ sudo rm -r /usr/lib/mongodb-compass
$ sudo rm -r /usr/share/applications/mongodb-compass.desktop
$ sudo rm -r /usr/share/licenses/mongodb-compass

It seems to be an issue with the latest version. Version v1.39.0 worked perfectly fine after install link gere
The latest working version is v1.39.4. We can’t use
yay
to install a specific version, so you need to manually download thePKGBUILD
.mongodb-compass
:PKGBUILD
with the following content:https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/tree/PKGBUILD?h=mongodb-compass&id=f681e3b15b0a946a584250d6f2499b0c9b2e102f
