Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Firefox OS Graveyard :: Gaia, defect)

Description

[Jeremy Chen ([e-mail])]

I'm trying to debug on B2G desktop client. After I make DEBUG profile and run b2g with profile-debug, I always get an empty homescreen. This happens on both Mac and Linux.

STR:
1. change to Gaia folder and execute make DEBUG=1
2. run B2G desktop client with Gaia's debug profile
ex. ./mach run -profile [gaia path]/profile-debug

Expect:
B2G desktop runs normally

Actual:
B2G desktop get an empty homescreen and stop there

Frequency:
always

For those who want to run B2G desktop w/ DEBUG profile like me, I found a temporary work around. 

1. Start B2G desktop w/ DEBUG and get into empty homescreen.
2. mouse down on top of view port and scroll down to wake notifications.
3. press settings in the right-bottom corner
4. press home button (Fn + <- on Mac) to go back to homescreen again.

In this way, you can get your normal homescreen back.

I'm guessing that entering any app and press home button to back to homescreen can be a work around for now.

Close this bug since B2G desktop has been replaced by Mulet.
