Application does not open and crashes. Icon on OS shows it is opening and the gray screen with part of them is showing but then it closes down.

Hi, the exact error says: pencil project gpu_data_manager_impl_private.cc(894)] The display compositor is frequently crashing. Goodbye.

With --disable-gpu-sandbox works.

therealayayron commented 2 years ago

Yes, this works.

Do we know when this will be amended where we will not have to use the command to correct this?

alienator commented 2 years ago

No. but if you don't like to open it by typing the command in the terminal, you can edit the menu launcher. I did it with menulibre available in fedora repos. Just add the options.

therealayayron commented 1 year ago

Please note that I have tested this on other Distros and this error does not occur, without having to edit the menu launcher:

Figured I'd give the Dev's More info on this.

Hi, the new version of Pencil (3.1.1) is working fine in fedora 37, no need to modify the launcher as mentioned before.

therealayayron commented 1 year ago

I noticed, after reinstalling.

What is the best way to update application without reinstalling?

alienator commented 1 year ago

Hi, this should work: sudo dnf update Pencil

I didn't test it, 'cause I couldn't download an old version of pencil

therealayayron commented 1 year ago

appreciate it.

I tried using the Ubuntu version of this to update it but it didn't work. Just uninstalled and reinstalled new version.

I'll close this out as it's solved.
