Same situation. Debian13 on wayland

[cit-rus22]

Same with Fedora KDE 42 on Wayland

[talkshowsonmute]

repack with this maybe https://github.com/pkgforge-dev/Anylinux-AppImages

[mrostd]

Same with Fedora (GNOME) 42 on Wayland Update: No problem with RPM package.

[Vercixx]

Same with Arch Linux on Wayland

[Firestar-Reimu]

Same with Arch Linux on Wayland, is it a Wayland-issue?

Also I use KDE Plasma, not GNOME

same thing on arch, tried turning off wayland and using xorg, error switched to "No available configuration for the given pixel format"

and errors in console

[Firestar-Reimu]

For Arch Linux, directly use hiddify-next-bin 2.5.7-1 in AUR, don't use Appimage

[RomanLegkii]

For Arch Linux, directly use hiddify-next-bin 2.5.7-1 in AUR, don't use Appimage

Thank you! How did you know to use AUR? Was is in the manual somewhere?

[Firestar-Reimu]

No, I just tried, I know that hiddify is on AUR and I tried to downloaded it (as maybe AUR do not use appimage)

[juraq28]

I use ubuntu 24.04 / noble and have the same problem - how t solve it??

[arturuxui]

same issue on Ubuntu 25.04 after last update (today)

[Firestar-Reimu]

Ubuntu can use the deb package?

For Arch Linux, directly use hiddify-next-bin 2.5.7-1 in AUR, don't use Appimage

This use the deb package

[Fokines]

Tried .deb an AppImage, even reinstall my OS (Ubuntu 24). Still getting "No GL implementation is available" error

[minecraftlin]

Same with Ubuntu 24.04.2 LTS on Wayland

[Edios44]

try launching with xwayland env -u WAYLAND_DISPLAY ./hiddify.appimage

[AlekseyBykov]

I faced the same issue on Ubuntu 24.04 - the AppImage version failed to start with graphical errors (OpenGL + pixel mode). The installation script didn't work for me, but installing the .deb package manually solved the problem:

wget https://github.com/hiddify/hiddify-app/releases/latest/download/Hiddify-Debian-x64.deb
sudo apt install ./Hiddify-Debian-x64.deb

After that the application installed and launched normally.

System info for reference:

• OS: Ubuntu 24.04 LTS
• Display server: X11 (I switched from the default Wayland)

[martin-wanderer]

Had the same error on Ubuntu 25.04 with Wayland as long as with x11 . Exactly "No available configuration for the given pixel format"". Solved it by changing in NVIDIA Settings PRIME Profile from "NVIDIA On-Demand" to "NVIDIA (Performance Mode)"

[714kononov]

Я столкнулся с той же проблемой на Ubuntu 24.04 - версия AppImage не смогла начать с графических ошибок (режим пикселей OpenGL +). Сценарий установки не работал для меня, но установка пакета .deb вручную решила проблему:

wget https://github.com/hiddify/hiddify-app/releases/latest/download/Hiddify-Debian-x64.deb
sudo apt install ./Hiddify-Debian-x64.deb

После этого приложение установилось и запущено в обычном режиме.

Информация о системе для справки :

* ОС: Убунту 24.04 LTS

* Сервер отображения: X11 (я переключился с Wayland по умолчанию)

is it work! Thank you
