tilda 1.3.3 does not start anymore (segfault)

[rompetroll]

My arch linux got a lot of upgrades yesterday, mostly gnome components 3.20 -> 3.22. After the reboot, tilda is not starting anymore.

This is the coredump/gdb info that is created when it fails.

 ❯ coredumpctl gdb 6004 tilda                                                                                                                                                             [08:34:41]

Gnome switched to wayland as the default session in 3.22, and tilda doesn't seem to run on wayland. I've switched back to xorg for now.

[rompetroll]

so then this is the same issue as https://github.com/lanoxx/tilda/issues/150.

Not sure this should be ignored though, because it's a "bigger" issue now with wayland being default. Anyway, good to know why it stopped working :)

[lanoxx]

Yes, unfortunately Tilda will not work under wayland and its not easy to fix that, we would need to get rid of some X11 dependencies first, and tilda assumes to know the global window coordinates for the show / hide animation which is also no available under wayland. I do not think I will support wayland anytime soon.

[lanoxx]

I am closing this because I have no plans in the near future to support wayland.

FWIW, running tilda like this seems to work for me: env GDK_BACKEND=x11 /usr/bin/tilda
