1 year ago Hi @rzel I'm sorry to hear you've run into problems.
Is there a way to disable the GPU?
nwjs does offer a command line switch:
https://docs.nwjs.io/en/latest/References/Command%20Line%20Options/#-disable-gpu
You can edit source/package.json to add switches to the "chromium-args" property.
Good luck!

I've been using TiddlyDesktop for at least 3 years, never had a problem until I upgraded to Ubuntu 22.04.1 64 bit from Ubuntu 20.04. It's a Radeon 7 GPU.
I tried running the pre-compiled binary and it throws the error in the title. Then I tried building from scratch - it built without a single error, but when I tried running "nw" again it threw the same error.

The error is something to do with the GPU:

I can use a browser plugin until you get this fixed, however I have lost data with the browser plugin and never with the desktop app.
Thanks a lot for the great product, I hope we can get this fixed.
