Linux AppImage crashes on launch with EGL_BAD_PARAMETER #29

Description

@OthmaneZ05

Summary

The Linux AppImage opens a blank window and then crashes immediately with an EGL error.

Version

Sinew_0.1.43_amd64.AppImage

Error Output

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

Environment

OS: Linux
App format: AppImage
Session type: Wayland/X11
Desktop environment: GNOME/KDE/etc.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Download Sinew_0.1.43_amd64.AppImage.
  2. Make it executable:
   chmod +x Sinew_0.1.43_amd64.AppImage
  1. Launch it:
   ./Sinew_0.1.43_amd64.AppImage

Expected Behavior

Sinew should launch normally and display the application UI.

Actual Behavior

A blank window appears, then the application aborts with:

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

Workarounds Tried

I tried launching with common GTK/WebKit/software rendering workarounds:

WEBKIT_DISABLE_DMABUF_RENDERER=1 \
WEBKIT_DISABLE_COMPOSITING_MODE=1 \
LIBGL_ALWAYS_SOFTWARE=1 \
GDK_BACKEND=x11 \
GSK_RENDERER=cairo \
./Sinew_0.1.43_amd64.AppImage

The crash still happens.

Additional Notes

When using APPIMAGE_EXTRACT_AND_RUN=1, I also see this warning:

WARN tauri_utils: `APPDIR` or `APPIMAGE` environment variable found but this application was not detected as an AppImage; this might be a security issue.

However, the main blocking error remains:

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