[Wayland] Intermittent segfault crash on startup

kevinoid commented 1 year ago

[x] I have searched open and closed issues for duplicates
[x] I am using Signal-Desktop as provided by the Signal team, not a 3rd-party package.

Bug Description

Signal Desktop Beta v6.3.0-beta.1 crashes shortly after starting, when started with --ozone-platform=wayland, approximately 50% of the time.

Steps to Reproduce

Run signal-desktop-beta --ozone-platform=wayland

Actual Result:

The Signal window briefly appears then disappears. On the next execution, the "Application crashed" dialog appears. (Note: This occurs ~50% of the time. The other 50% Signal does not crash.)

Expected Result:

Signal does not crash.

not sure if this is the same issue, but I can reproduce this behaviour on fedora sliverblue (since version 6.5.0):

Unfortunately we don't officially support Fedora Linux right now, so I'd advise reaching out to maintainers of the package to see if they can help. Thanks!

omeid commented 1 year ago

Same thing happens on Archlinux.

dumol commented 1 year ago

Using Signal 6.8.0 through Flatpak on a Void Linux musl-based installation, similar issues…

scottnonnenberg-signal commented 1 year ago

@dumol Unfortunately we don't officially support the Flatpak installation technique, or Void Linux, at the moment. I'd recommend that you reach out to the folks maintaining that Flatpak installation technique, see if they can help you out.

dumol commented 1 year ago

@scottnonnenberg-signal Thanks, but the idea was to document that the same issue manifests itself when running Signal under Flatpak. So there's really no reason to look for solutions somewhere else, anyone else affected should wait for Signal (or Electron?) to fix this, AFAICT.

hacktivateit commented 1 year ago

Also happening to me Archlinux fully updated as today, Wayland with Sway, Signal-Desktop 6.9.0-1 installed from community

Signal-desktop manually launched with signal-desktop --enable-features=UseOzonePlatform --ozone-platform=wayland --enable-features=WaylandWindowDecorations

Segfault after 4-5 seconds, this is the full output

wooque commented 1 year ago

Intermittent segmentation faults happen with latest Signal - 6.15.0 on Debian 12 as well.

ghost commented 1 year ago

Segmentation fault happens moments after the window pops up - version 6.15.0 on Alpine Linux edge (musl based).

eclairevoyant commented 1 year ago

Wait a month until signal starts using electron 23 (see #6112), that should fix this

posting logs is not really going to help unless you've compiled signal yourself with debugging symbols enabled and can post a full backtrace

wooque commented 1 year ago

I found workaround for greater stability. I start Signal first without arguments, that starts Signal on Xwayland and after it does initialization and sync, I close Signal and start as Wayland native app with --enable-features=UseOzonePlatform,WaylandWindowDecorations --ozone-platform=wayland arguments. I haven't experience any crashes. Seems that initialization/synchronization has something that depends on Xorg. But after that it works on Wayland without problems.

aerosol commented 1 year ago

For anyone interested, I had the same issue on Arch until 6.18.1-1, it works fine at last. Maybe it helps to identify the cause?

ghost commented 1 year ago

I can't seem to reproduce anymore either.

aerosol commented 1 year ago

For anyone ending up here via search -- actually, it's not the package update, my own setup was faulty.

Having the following commands executed (here: via hyprland config) makes it not segfault anymore:

exec-once = systemctl --user import-environment WAYLAND_DISPLAY XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP
exec-once = dbus-update-activation-environment --systemd WAYLAND_DISPLAY XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP=$XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP

Please let us know how Signal Desktop 6.20.0-beta.1 works for you - it is on a newer version of Electron.

Please let us know how Signal Desktop 6.20.0-beta.1 works for you - it is on a newer version of Electron.

Thanks, I noticed 6.20.0-beta.1 and 6.19.0 share the same Electron version.

Tried 6.20.0-beta.1 briefly then installed 6.19.0, both didn't crash for me yet.

hacktivateit commented 1 year ago

Archlinux, sway on Wayland, extra/signal-desktop updated to 6.20.1-1 lauching with

signal-desktop --enable-features=UseOzonePlatform,WaylandWindowDecorations --ozone-platform=wayland

I also remove .config/Signal for a completely fresh start

No segmentation fault, but the windows is not showing :sob:

@hacktivateit it starts minimized to tray, add --use-tray-icon to see it.

hacktivateit commented 1 year ago

it's working! thanks @wooque

Complete working command for wayland users signal-desktop --enable-features=UseOzonePlatform,WaylandWindowDecorations --ozone-platform=wayland --use-tray-icon

EDIT: Signal should now follow the electron-flags.conf file here

wooque commented 1 year ago

@hacktivateit UseOzonePlatform is not needed anymore, it's default now, so you can omit it. And if you use Sway you don't need WaylandWindowDecorations as well, it's only useful for GNOME

hacktivateit commented 1 year ago

thanks again! updated command signal-desktop --ozone-platform=wayland --use-tray-icon

I see no tray icon, and manually inspecting my DBus session bus it doesn't show up as registered to either of the two StatusNotifierWatchers that are running.

thanks again! updated command signal-desktop --ozone-platform=wayland --use-tray-icon

I have another helpful argument for you: if you try sharing your screen in a video call, Signal will immediately crash, unless you use --enable-features=WebRTCPipeWireCapturer

norpol commented 1 year ago

@PhoenixClank Using --enable-features=WebRTCPipeWireCapturer on Signal v6.17.1 on Wayland and clicking the "Share screen" results in a crash for me with swaywm. Chromium/Firefox are able to share the screen though.

wooque commented 1 year ago

It was fixed, but now in 6.23.0 startup crashes are back again

trevor-signal commented 1 year ago

6.23.0 included an upgrade to Electron v25.2 -- you might try a fix suggested in https://github.com/electron/electron/issues/37531 and linked issues.

Until it's resolved on upstream electron follow this comment for workarounds https://github.com/vector-im/element-desktop/issues/1026#issuecomment-1614384744

Strangely, adding --use-tray-icon in desktop file resolve all my issues (this bug and #6368).

When launching, tray icon now appears in my waybar and is working
No need to launch a second instance to have Signal windows appearing. Just clic the tray icon display it.
No more crash when launching additional instance. Windows just display correctly.

pm4rcin commented 10 months ago

I have tried Element and Tutanota flatpaks which were crashing constantly for me too but they have updated to Electron 26 and they started working normally on wayland. Looks like Signal will have to update electron in order to stop crashing.

Hi, this workaround is not working on my debian 12 on Sway, as I use this option already and Signal crashes when clicking on the tray icon ( happens ~ half the time).

maximbaz commented 9 months ago

When no workaround helps, automation will always come to the rescue!

Run this very sophisticated script in the morning and go brew yourself some coffee, by the time you are back you'll have a working Signal instance :grin:

Sometimes it takes over 10 attempts for me to launch Signal, so this is a huge time saver :wink:

#!/bin/bash

while true; do
    # Launch the main instance - it will run in background if you don't use tray
    signal-desktop > /dev/null 2>&1 &
    pid=$!

    # Launch a second instance - it will exit, bringing the main instance to foreground
    sleep 1
    signal-desktop > /dev/null

    # Move mouse cursor over the Signal window to trigger an intermittent segfault
    sleep 1
    ydotool mousemove 3 0

    # Check if the main process has crashed
    sleep 1
    if kill -0 $pid 2> /dev/null; then
        echo "Signal has finally launched!"
        exit 0
    else
        echo "Signal has crashed, let's try again..."
    fi
done

wooque commented 9 months ago

After recent update there is nothing intermittent anymore, it crashes every single time. Had to switch to running it under Xwayland.

GregDMeyer commented 9 months ago

for anyone who didn't follow the link from @pm4rcin I wanted to write it explicitly here---for me at least, the issue seems to be with running signal in wayland with tiling (I run sway). Immediately pressing mod+shift+space to make the window float (or, ideally, modifying your config to default signal to a floating window) prevents the crash for me!

EDIT: ok, sometimes the window doesn't appear for some reason? but it seems running it under XWayland once and then launching it under wayland makes the window appear 👍

I can confirm that Signal doesn't crash when it's floating by default (for_window [app_id="signal"] floating enable), but as soon as I make it non-floating it crashes.

Well, this work on non-HDPI display on my laptop, but my desktop PC still crash!

Adding info about my setup (not sure if this relevant): integrated laptop screen is HiDPI (4K, scale factor: 2), external screen is not (1440p, scale factor: 1). Still 100% crash chance to crash Signal when output is external display.

AndreasBackx commented 8 months ago

To confirm, 6.37.0 does not fix the issue for me.

wooque commented 8 months ago

I jumped to conclusion because 6.36.0 crashed 99% of time for me, now it's occasional, but startup crashes are still there.

h-2 commented 8 months ago

I can confirm this problem on Ubuntu 23.10—which is officially supported, right?

I am also using sway. Previously it worked to start 2 or 3 times with --ozone-platform=wayland --enable-features=WaylandWindowDecorations. Recently this stopped working.

This works for me, but it is a ridiculous workaround. Why can't signal just publish a decent library that interfaces with its server and then let regular devs make a frontend in Qt or GTK that doesn't suck?

pm4rcin commented 7 months ago

It's finally fixed! :) Let's hope that electron won't introduce more regressions like that in the future.
