@its-wednesday I cannot reproduce this issue. Do you have libnotify installed on your system? If yes, can you run the appimage through catchsegv and strace and paste the output here?

[ColinDuquesnoy]

@its-wednesday Is it the first time you use MellowPlayer's AppImage on VoidLinux or was there a version that worked for you (I am trying to see what change cause the segfault on your system).

[it-is-wednesday]

This is the first time I've tried using it on Void. Here's the catchsegv output

[it-is-wednesday]

And the strace output

[ColinDuquesnoy]

Thank you. Looks like there is an issue with the nouveau driver. Qt/QML has a lots of issues with old nouveau drivers. If they are available, I'd suggest you switch to the proprietary nvidia drivers.

I am closing this issue because there is nothing that can be done in MellowPlayer's code base to fix this issue.

[it-is-wednesday]

Thanks for pointing that out. The problem has been solved by installing nvidia's proprietary drivers:

# xbps-install -Sy void-repo-nonfree
# xbps-install -Sy nvidia

[ColinDuquesnoy]

I added an entry in the FAQ about open source NVIDIA drivers.
