Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/Drop-OSS/drop-app/issues/124

Describe the bug
This is partially related to #91.
Initially i had found that bug because I could not launch the appimage. However, after following the workaround, and installing the package from the AUR, I get a new error that is Wayland specific.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Use Endeavour (Wayland)
  2. Install the app yay -Sy drop-oss-app umu-launcher
  3. Try to run the app.

Expected behavior
App should launch

Log

(drop-app:212564): libayatana-appindicator-WARNING **: 16:42:01.692: libayatana-appindicator is deprecated. Please use libayatana-appindicator-glib in newly written code.
Gdk-Message: 16:42:02.082: Error 71 (Protocol error) dispatching to Wayland display.

Desktop (please complete the following information):

  • OS: Arch Linux
  • App Version [e.g. 22] unknown

Additional context
This appears to be a Wayland related bug.
The package depends on umu-launcher, but it does not get automatically installed if it is not found.

Sorry, our AUR packages are a little out of date because we had difficulties connecting to it through the recent DDoS/downtimes.

What display environment and GPU are you using? We have a bug with Nvidia: https://docs.droposs.org/docs/guides/client-troubleshooting#im-on-linux-with-nvidia-proprietary-drivers-and-drop-wont-launch

Just FYI, Wayland is the display protocol, not the display/desktop environment.

We chose to not hard dependent on umu-launcher because it is optional, Drop works fine without it installed.

Doing the NVIDIA fixes worked. But, the umu-launcher, it is a hard dependency, at least in the AUR script currently. It won't build or install without it. So if it is meant to be optional, might want to look into that. But my issue is resolved as i was able to get it to launch with the Desktop file edits.
