similar issue on Fedora 42, same intel graphics and wayland, but instead the AppImage download SIGABRTs shortly after launch.

~/programming/probe/radicle-desktop main 14.62s
12:46:20 ❯ ~/AppImages/radicle.appimage
Could not create surfaceless EGL display: EGL_BAD_ALLOC. Aborting...
fish: Job 1, '~/AppImages/radicle.appimage' terminated by signal SIGABRT (Abort)

~/programming/probe/radicle-desktop main* 2.58s

was able to compile and run the binary + run on dev as well but i wasnt able to get the appimage bundled in.

May 12 2025 Update: I was able to bundle the AppImage (mainly had to specify the architecture as an environment var first with ARCH=x86_64, whoops) and I was able to run it successfully without any startup issues.

It seems like @geigerzaehler ran into the same issue with Arch Linux btw

He said he’ll take a stab at fixing this.

Let’s see if this patch fixes it. Re-open this issue if the bug still persists.

Doesn’t fix the issue, however it just gives a confusingly different error- and just segfaults

Below logs are on radicle-desktop 0.4.1, AppImage provided by radworks.garden, on Intel Graphics

~/programming/probe/radicle-desktop main*
18:13:36 ❯ ~/AppImages/radicledesktop.appimage

Cannot get default EGL display: EGL_SUCCESS
Cannot create EGL context: invalid display (last error: EGL_SUCCESS)
fish: Job 1, '~/AppImages/radicledesktop.appi…' terminated by signal SIGSEGV (Address boundary error)

Ok, we’ll have to look into it again.

Is there a way you could help us reproduce this or provide some more details on how your system is set up?

Marking this as wont-fix for now. As it seems to be an upstream issue that we can’t directly resolve.

I had this issue a few months ago, but today I tried radicle-desktop again (latest version) and it worked just fine!
