Launch obsidian. I have been using it for one year on Linux. But the App recently failed to load. I can see Obsidian window is launched, but the content is blank.
Things I have tried
Following is the trace.
%obsidian.AppImage --trace-warnings

Same here after latest update to 1.5.3
My system is Ubuntu 20.04
Deleting obsidian-1.5.3.asar in .config/obsidian helps but just until the next launch when obsidian is upgraded again.
Tried a brand new vault without any plugins and all the default settings - still no luck: blank black screen on startup with the same message:
Failed to load URL: app://obsidian.md/index.html with error: ERR_BLOCKED_BY_CLIENT
I am facing the same problem on ubuntu 22.04, also just getting a blank black window.

I was able to fix my own problem by uninstalling and re-installing the obsidian snap. Somehow the snap was an old version but automatically ran a newer one automatically…
In my case I used AppImage which was updated automatically.
So I resolved the issue by just downloading AppImage 1.5.3 from https://obsidian.md
After starting just add your vaults by hand - and then everything works fine and the problem is gone.
I’m having the same issue. Was working just fine one day, then I turned on my computer the next day without changing anything and it won’t load. Deleting obsidian-1.5.3.asar works, but it seems to downgrade it to an older version or something that doesn’t even have tabs, and of course it’s just a temporary fix so I’d love a proper solution.
I have installed Obsidian on Ubuntu 22.04 using the .deb file.
After upgrading all apt packages I had a white screen and the error message
app://obsidian.md/starter.html with error: ERR_BLOCKED_BY_CLIENT
I deleted .config/obsidian/obsidian-1.5.3.asar and it worked again. Then I saw that a new Obsidian version is available, clicked on “Relaunch” and the screen went black.
I deleted the new file obsidian-1.5.8.asar in the config dictionary and my vault was loaded correctly (but with all files closed).
