No, that is not setting an env variable:

export APPIMAGE_DEBUG=1
./Signal-7.85.0-1-anylinux-x86_64.AppImage

or

APPIMAGE_DEBUG=1 ./Signal-7.85.0-1-anylinux-x86_64.AppImage

@RasheedAZ What's your hardware? For some reason no driver can start.

[RasheedAZ]

Running in VM - sorry should've mentioned earlier.

[Samueru-sama]

Yeah you might wanna setup gpu passthru or something.

It also runs fine on my alpine distrobox container and the application was requested by an alpine linux user

---

Something weird is that the logs show that it attempts to load libvulkan_freedreno.so, but this is a vulkan driver for aarch64 adreno devices. 👀

I'm also trying on Alpine-based postmarketOS Edge live session with GNOME - off USB not in VM. It's not too different from Alpine but it has systemd instead of openrc. Please let me know if I should open another issue instead of continuing here.

Signal Desktop appimage appears to be running in the background based on system monitor, but GUI doesn't show up.

signal-appimage-debug-log-postmarketos.log

I also successfully launched blender, gearlever, kdnelive, ladybird, obs-studio, servo and supertuxcart from https://github.com/pkgforge-dev/Anylinux-AppImages Only Signal GUI is not showing up.

[Samueru-sama]

Works fine here, on a bare alpine image that doesn't even have bash, file, fuse, etc

What hardware are you using though?

I did a test on a NixOS VM and noticed a similar issue, the application actually runs but I only get the icon in the menu bar, no GUI window renders, most likely because the softare renderer and it can't use a gpu on the VM.

[RasheedAZ]

What hardware are you using though?

Asus laptop Intel / Nvidia. The installed Ubuntu based OS is able to use the integrated and dedicated graphics and switch between them. Other appimages work fine.

I can try the live session with other PCs later if that would make a difference...?

Let me know if the latest release works, there was a problem with nvidia that was fixed recently.

I will also likely switch to using the deb releases directly if I can find a way to scrap their links, this might be a bug in the archlinux package.
