[BUG] - GPU process isn't usable error message
Describe the bug The appimage is unable to run on arch linux using kde plasma.
I have an nvidia RTX 2080 TI and an AMD CPU.
To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:
- Download the appimage here or on thunderstore on arch linux, kde plasma, linux-lts or linux, using an nvidia rtx-2080 TI
- Attempt to run it from either dolphin, terminal, etc. after making it executable
- You will see the following errerror
[rashino@thearchdimension Downloads]$ ./r2modman-3.1.45.appimage
xdg-mime: application argument missing
Try 'xdg-mime --help' for more information.
starting server on /tmp/app.r2mm
starting TLS server false
starting server as Unix || Windows Socket
[9899:0103/142337.249839:FATAL:gpu_data_manager_impl_private.cc(445)] GPU process isn't usable. Goodbye.
Trace/breakpoint trap (core dumped)
Expected behavior I expected it to launch without issue.
Screenshots
- The application launches like this briefly and displays the messages up until
Windows Socket. It will then crash after displaying the message after it.
Additional context This only happens with this appimage. I tested a lot of things and nothing is wrong with the GPU.
A possible workaround for me is to run the AppImage with the --no-sandbox argument. I've experienced this before with different Electron apps, but I'm not sure how to actually fix this one, I don't know too much about Electron sadly.
Edit: This is on Ubuntu 21.10 with nvidia-driver-535
I can confirm this problem occurs as well on Linux Mint 21.2 x64 when running with nvidia-driver-535, and also that the --no-sandbox workaround above appears to work.
I'm on Arch Linux 6.6.10-arch1-1 x86_64 w/ NVIDIA driver version 545.29.06, and I'm getting the same error. Using --no-sandbox works. Also, I'm using the pacman version from the AUR.
also getting this on fedora with nvidia 545, and AMD Radeon 760M. --no-sandbox fixes it.
