Blank screen on opencode desktop on Linux(Ubuntu) #5683
Description
Description
Tried to use opencode but it just blanked screen. The issue seemed to be because of bad config folder, since when CLI updated it started throwing
Directory "commands" in /home/azemzale/.opencode is not valid. Rename the directory to "command" or remove it. This is a common typo.
I have not used opencode in a while so that might also be part of the issue. When I remove said folder it all starts to work again.
I didn't find any similar issues for Linux specifically, or that they have a reason found for them.
OpenCode version
1.0.164
Steps to reproduce
mkdir $OPENCODE_CFG_DIR/commands- Run opencode desktop
- See blank screen

This issue might be a duplicate of existing issues. Please check:
These issues appear to have the same symptom (blank/empty screen on launch across different platforms). While your issue specifically identifies a config directory problem as the root cause, it may be worth checking if those other issues also involve config-related problems or if there's a common underlying issue affecting multiple platforms.

@zemzale In the latest, you should see an error screen for this case, can you confirm?

Yeah, shows the error message now.
it's a bit cut off, but you can still easily understand it.
