from what i gathered, this is a standallone client. You also need to install and configure openbazaard and run server.

It's not the standalone client it's the (https://github.com/OpenBazaar/OpenBazaar-Installer/releases/download/v1.1.0/openbazaar_1.1.0_amd64.deb)

It has the /usr/share/openbazaar/resources/OpenBazaar-Server/openbazaard as part of the install which it tries to launch. For some reason launching it fails both from within the app or launching directly and that's the issue.

@gcarq the interesting part of that strace are the few lines before the lines you posted.

When it tries to open the .pkg, that is already the fallback if it could not find the executable file.

@sjug @gcarq @ThomasWaldmann @loganmarchione it could be we packaged it with some permissions issue. Did you try:

 chmod a+rx openbazaard
