bwrap launcher crashing
Describe the bug Launching protontricks --gui succeeds but then bwrap crashes after selecting a game container.
To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:
- Run command
protontricks --guiOR use desktop shortcut - Select game from zenity/yad display list (yad in my case, but have tried it without yad installed).
- Command fails and error is displayed
Expected behavior GUI should proceed to the winetricks menu.
System (please complete the following information):
- Distro: CachyOS
- Protontricks installation method: Cachy repository
- Protontricks version: run 1.12.1
- Steam version: No beta, version 1.0.0.82-2 packaged by Levente Polyak
Additional context All was working around a month ago when I was last gaming. I have tried rebooting and reinstalling both proton and protontricks. Now requires --no-bwrap to proceed.
traceback and log Protontricks was closed due to the following error:
Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/python3.13/site-packages/protontricks/cli/util.py", line 175, in wrapper return cli_func(self, *args, **kwargs) File "/usr/lib/python3.13/site-packages/protontricks/cli/main.py", line 337, in main run_command( ~~~~~~~~~~~^ winetricks_path=winetricks_path, ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ...<7 lines>... cwd=cwd ^^^^^^^ ) ^ File "/usr/lib/python3.13/site-packages/protontricks/util.py", line 522, in run_command raise RuntimeError( ...<2 lines>... ) RuntimeError: bwrap launcher crashed, returncode: 1

Can you try running the following command in a terminal emulator and copying the output? The error dialog cannot capture all output, most importantly including bwrap which seems to be crashing for some reason.
