Originally created by @tomorrow-nf on GitHub (Aug 1, 2025).
Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/Drop-OSS/drop-app/issues/91

Attempting to run the Drop.Desktop.Client_0.3.1_amd64.AppImage client on CachyOS but hitting the following error:

Could not create GBM EGL display: EGL_SUCCESS. Aborting...
fish: Job 1, './Drop.Desktop.Client_0.3.1_amd…' terminated by signal SIGABRT (Abort)

Client seems to start up and immediately crash.

  • Open NVidia drivers 575.64.05
  • Linux 6.16.0-5-cachyos
  • KDE Plasma 6.4.3

Can you try the workaround mentioned here for NVIDIA?

I should've mentioned, apologies: I did see these steps but it doesn't seem that the .desktop file even gets created before the AppImage fails out.

Oh sorry, AppImages don't use .desktop files.

You can run the workaround via the command line like this:
WEBKIT_DISABLE_DMABUF_RENDERER=1 ./<appimagename>.appimage

Ah gotcha, I may be stupid

Seems like it made some progress, immediately followed by this new one:

Double checked and I do have libayatana-appindicator and libappindicator-gtk3 installed. I'm actually seeing this exact same error on my steam deck, but didn't want to flood the reports 😅

I think the AppImage is broken for non-Debian based distros, due to that dependency.

From my understanding, CachyOS is based on Arch Linux. We have AUR packages that should work, if you want to try those while I fix the AppImage:

https://aur.archlinux.org/packages?O=0&K=drop-oss-app
