Starting with wire-desktop --no-sandbox works

Is there any known fix for this yet? I don't use Wire personally but this issue affects every form of Chromium on my system, including the standalone browser, CEF, and everything based on Electron. I'm using OpenSUSE Tumbleweed.

Used these apps with Xorg (instead of wayland) or with no-sandbox flag is the only workaround what I know.

However desktop screen share also not works with wayland.

Does --disable-gpu help?

Does --disable-gpu help?

Using --disable-gpu caused the same crash. This is using the Appimage on X11.

The issue may be related to the one described here:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/glibc/+bug/1944468/comments/9

If so, the issue appears fixed in chromium as of June 2021:

https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+/218438259dd795456f0a48f67cbe5b4e520db88b

From what I can tell, Wire uses version 87.0.4280.141 of chromium, which is from January 2021.

I wonder if there are also security implications to using a browser engine that is this old.

There are.

welcome to 2022 one of the biggest social network owners :) whatsapp web still does'nt work on latest arch linux in 2022 for exactly the same error. There's no friggin reason whatsapp functionality wise that i see that you cannot support the web version without extra GPU. I understand you cannot support any legacy old stuff and the service hasn't been working for month, but i'm on the latest version of chrom/ium/FF but at this point i feel a big resentment for a couple month. If a company doesn't deem users of up2d8 browsers worth using their service, i'll just switch to recommend to my recommend to my 200 private trustees using matrix. the idea is better anyway. thanks for giving me a good reason. Love to the developers, disappointment to the ppl making stupid long term decisions. good job everyone 💩

It seems this got fixed in the 3.27.2944 (linux) release, at least I don't need to set --no-sandbox anymore.
