Can you get past the initial login screen? (I can't, it just prints error messages about SSL handshakes to stderr on the konsole where I started it) What environment are you running spectral in?
Looks like you can use http://matrix.org as the home server (instead of https which is what spectral defaults to) and it can connect. On the other hand, premium hosting via modular.im will redirect to https and then fail.
(In reply to Adriaan de Groot from comment #3) Clicking randomly in the "empty window" causes this: > spectral & [1] 872 > DPI: 1 qt5ct: using qt5ct plugin qt5ct: D-Bus system tray: no QSystemTrayIcon::setVisible: No Icon set QKqueueFileSystemWatcherEngine::addPaths: open: No such file or directory qrc:/imports/Spectral/Panel/RoomListPanel.qml:255: TypeError: Cannot read property 'id' of null qrc:/imports/Spectral/Panel/RoomListPanel.qml:286: TypeError: Cannot read property 'name' of null qrc:/imports/Spectral/Panel/RoomListPanel.qml:317: TypeError: Cannot read property 'avatarMediaId' of null qrc:/imports/Spectral/Panel/RoomListPanel.qml:348: TypeError: Cannot read property 'accessToken' of null qrc:/imports/Spectral/Panel/RoomListPanel.qml:379: TypeError: Cannot read property 'deviceId' of null qrc:/imports/Spectral/Panel/RoomListPanel.qml:410: TypeError: Cannot read property 'accessToken' of null No packets can be seen when monitoring the net interface.
A commit references this bug: Author: adridg Date: Sun Apr 14 14:15:43 UTC 2019 New revision: 498907 URL: https://svnweb.freebsd.org/changeset/ports/498907 Log: Missing dependencies for net-im/spectral. These are effectively *run* dependencies, since the build is not affected; however, installing just spectral without image support or QQC2 into a twm environment gives you one that won't start, or won't show everything you might encounter in Matrix. Doesn't fix the referenced PR, but is related. PR: 236598 Changes: head/net-im/spectral/Makefile head/net-im/spectral/pkg-descr
I just updated the port with some missing runtime dependencies, based on installing xorg, twm, and spectral in an otherwise new 11.2 VM. After that it starts and works normally. I still can't reproduce your problem with the empty window, but hope it goes away with the fixed-up dependencies.
Tried again (twm, 11-stable), and no issues. None of the warning messages you show, are printed here. It may have something to do with your environment, but that's just guessing. I'm going to close this as "works in twm and KDE Plasma, can't reproduce". Please do update the port, now that the dependencies are fixed though.
