AppImage won't run on NixOS and OpenSuse - EGL_BAD_PARAMETER

[willieseabrook]

Hi,

Downloading and running the AppImage on NixOS results in:

Could not create default EGL display: EGL_BAD_PARAMETER. Aborting...

A window pops up but it is empty, nothing inside it.

I googled the error and the most similar I could find is https://github.com/gitbutlerapp/gitbutler/issues/5282

NixOS Stuff

In case you are familiar with NixOS, i'm using https://ryantm.github.io/nixpkgs/builders/images/appimagetools/ and nix-ld to provide links to the necessary libraries:

  harfbuzz
  fribidi
  libgpg-error
  libGL
  e2fsprogs
  gmp

Someone mentioned something about the version of libwebkit2gtk. See a PR they made https://github.com/gitbutlerapp/gitbutler/pull/5301/files and I noticed you have libwebkit2gtk-4.1-dev in publish-tauri-releases.yml

Same issue here on OpenSuse.

I got the same issue on Arch Linux (Cachyos). Luckily someone provide a working version on AUR.

[willieseabrook]

@wladimiiir or @JoAllg any hints on a solution you have?

[wladimiiir]

@willieseabrook I haven’t had a chance to experiment with it yet, as I was hoping it would be handled. I’ll let you know if I come up with anything.

the 7.0.1 version on Arch/cachy isn't working for me - same blank screen,

Same here on Fedora

Same here on NixOS. I am trying to understand where it's coming from and so far stumbled upon this mention: This is caused by an upstream graphics compatibility issue related to how the AppImage was generated using Tauri. source

[willieseabrook]

This is still happening. Upstream Tauri issue is here: https://github.com/tauri-apps/tauri/issues/11994

Lots of other Appimage applications having similar issues.
