Weird UI in Arch/Manjaro linux (The UI is broken)

[abedih]

Hi
I updated the XDM to the latest version. but the UI became completely useless. I used both the AUR package and the stand alone package from here. I've attached the screenshot.. my system:

OS: Linux Manjaro (updated to the latest version)
DE: KDE
Monitor resolution: 4k (HiDPI)
java version: openjdk version "13.0.2" 2020-01-14

Logs (when I run xdm from terminal):
[ main ] loading... [ main ] 13.0.2 5.6.12-1-MANJARO [ main ] Loading config... [ main ] Creating folders [ main ] starting monitoring... [ main ] Init app [ main ] Loading fonts [ main ] java.lang.NullPointerException: Unexpected EOF at xdman.XDMApp.loadDownloadList(XDMApp.java:811) at xdman.XDMApp.loadDownloadList(XDMApp.java:795) at xdman.XDMApp.<init>(XDMApp.java:235) at xdman.XDMApp.getInstance(XDMApp.java:384) at xdman.monitoring.BrowserMonitor.getSync(BrowserMonitor.java:119) at xdman.monitoring.BrowserMonitor.updateSettingsAndStatus(BrowserMonitor.java:48) at xdman.monitoring.BrowserMonitor.startMonitoring(BrowserMonitor.java:37) at xdman.XDMApp.start(XDMApp.java:201) at xdman.Main.main(Main.java:25) en [ main ] Loading language en [ main ] Context initialized [ Thread-1 ] java.net.BindException: Address already in use at java.base/sun.nio.ch.Net.bind0(Native Method) at java.base/sun.nio.ch.Net.bind(Net.java:469) at java.base/sun.nio.ch.Net.bind(Net.java:458) at java.base/sun.nio.ch.NioSocketImpl.bind(NioSocketImpl.java:643) at java.base/java.net.ServerSocket.bind(ServerSocket.java:374) at java.base/java.net.ServerSocket.bind(ServerSocket.java:328) at xdman.monitoring.BrowserMonitor.run(BrowserMonitor.java:186) at java.base/java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:830) [ Thread-1 ] instance already runninng

Thanks @subhra74
but it didn't work. I tried it several times but the UI did not fix

[subhra74]

Please post the log again. If you performed the suggested steps properly then below error should not appear in log
java.net.BindException: Address already in use at
Also post the terminal output of the mentioned steps

this is the log from termial:

From the log it looks like the download list has been corrupted.
First kill xdman using ps- ef|grep xdman to get current XDM process and use kill -9 <PID> to kill that process.
Then remove the $HOME/.xdman directory. (Warning: it will clear download history).

@subhra74
sorry for the delay
I've done that but without any success. also today I installed xdm on a fresh installation of Manjaro (using AUR) and it was the same.

is it because of my Java version? I'm using openjdk-jre version 14

[subhra74]

Problem should not be caused by any installed jdk, as XDM uses its own.
I would suggest to perform the mentioned steps again and post the copy of the terminal output ( not just the log, but output of ps, rm etc )
