"Press Enter or Space to continue" but neither works

[otonoton]

Upon startup I get:

Startup Warnings

AWS init failed: operation error ec2imds: GetRegion, request canceled, context deadline exceeded

Press Enter or Space to continue...

However neither key seems to do anything, the message stays on screen forever.

Terminal: kitty 0.43.1 on ubuntu 22.04 (amd64), Xorg

Thanks for reporting!
This happens when no region is configured - the AWS SDK tries EC2 IMDS for region detection, which times out on non-EC2 environments.
Could you try running with -r flag?

claws -r us-east-1

Also, do you have a region configured in ~/.aws/config? Adding one should also fix this:

[default]
region = us-east-1

(We're also aware of the keyboard issue - that's a separate bug we'll fix.)

Yes that seems to fix the error message, although it is now simply stuck at "loading..." forever on all the panels. I'm guessing proxies are not supported as my network requires one. The q key to quit also isn't working, but I assume that's part of the same keyboard issue.

Thanks for the additional info!

Proxy: claws uses the standard AWS SDK, so HTTP_PROXY/HTTPS_PROXY environment variables should work.
Quit key: Sorry, q to quit isn't actually implemented yet (the help text is wrong). Please use Ctrl+C for now.

We'll fix these issues in the next release:

• Keyboard not responding on warning screen
• q key to quit

I am using ALL_PROXY with a socks5h URI, so I am assuming the AWS SDK does not support that?

[yimsk]

Go's net/http probably doesn't read ALL_PROXY - it looks for HTTP_PROXY/HTTPS_PROXY instead.
Can you try:

HTTPS_PROXY=socks5h://your-proxy:port claws -r us-east-1

If this works, we can update claws to respect ALL_PROXY.

yep that works!
