Thanks. I can confirm the version = 2 fixes the issue, and the hash is correct.

But this bump seems to break Darwin. I get this error when starting the app:

I will check if Linux is also broken in a few minutes and update.

On Linux the app also crashes on startup:

I don't have debug symbols installed but I'd assume the trace will be similar to Darwin's.

My reading of v8 code suggests that the wasm trap handler was set twice, which is forbidden:

bool g_is_trap_handler_enabled{false};
std::atomic<bool> g_can_enable_trap_handler{true};

bool EnableTrapHandler(bool use_v8_handler) {
  // We should only enable the trap handler once, and before any call to
  // {IsTrapHandlerEnabled}. Enabling the trap handler late can lead to problems
  // because code or objects might have been generated under the assumption that
  // trap handlers are disabled.
  bool can_enable =
      g_can_enable_trap_handler.exchange(false, std::memory_order_relaxed);
  // EnableTrapHandler called twice, or after IsTrapHandlerEnabled.
  TH_CHECK(can_enable);
  if (!V8_TRAP_HANDLER_SUPPORTED) {
    return false;
  }

  // "Warm-up" the TrapHandlerGuard mechanism to ensure that if any
  // initialization is required for its thread-local storage, it is done now
  // and not inside the signal handler. We're being extra cautious here, it's
  // unclear if this is really necessary.
  TrapHandlerGuard active_guard;

  if (use_v8_handler) {
    g_is_trap_handler_enabled = RegisterDefaultTrapHandler();
    return g_is_trap_handler_enabled;
  }
  g_is_trap_handler_enabled = true;
  return true;
}

We are aborted by TH_CHECK call that validates that this function is called once with true.

I think we hit electron/electron#48975

[booxter]

git tag --contains eecca2cb199b481a891f83f6dfb946fb4849e4b9
v39.2.1
v39.2.2

We need a newer electron_39.

[booxter]

@kachick why closing it though? I'm going to post a bump request for electron_39 in a few. Once we merge the electron bump, we can land this PR.

[booxter]

In case you are curious, there are some details about what exactly happens (in some crashing apps) here: electron/electron#48983

[booxter]

I'd just keep it as draft for now.

electron_39 bump: #463086

[kachick]

The coredump is gone. The dashboard now starts on x86_64-darwin and x86_64-linux (X11).
However, the dashboard does not show up when starting on x86_64-linux (Wayland).

I am unsure if this is related to issue podman-desktop/podman-desktop#14123, since I could launch the dashboard on Wayland with current 1.22.1 + electron_38.
Should we add a workaround similar to podman-desktop/podman-desktop#14383?

Thanks for digging out the electron wayland issue!

---

I tried it on my Linux desktop (barebones hyprland) and yes - the app correctly opens the window but the DPI looked crappy. See screenshot. (Note blurred fonts.)

Maybe I'm not configuring x11 emulation properly, not sure. But I didn't have this issue with the Wayland backend. Any ideas?

---

I see electron/electron#48600 was merged and is supposed to be the fix for the original issue that required the x11 hack. But it was included in electron-39-x-y branch, so I wonder what's going on here... And here someone was complaining that while a fix in Electron fixed crashes, the window not showing up is still an issue: podman-desktop/podman-desktop#14123 (comment)

[booxter]

I am unsure if this is related to issue podman-desktop/podman-desktop#14123, since I could launch the dashboard on Wayland with current 1.22.1 + electron_38.

This is not true for me. If I run it from c8d4dabc4357a22d1c249a9363998bdb00122544 that was the last version we built from electron_37, then the window is popping up (blurred!) while with current version (built with electron 38) it doesn't.

Which makes me think that perhaps the dashboard missing issue is not specific to this bump - and perhaps better handled separately from this PR. I'd drop the x11 patch and land the version bump for now. WDYT?

---

UPD: nevermind, I think my issue with blurry app was because xwayland wasn't configured to unscale wayland scaling. The blurriness was fixed for me with this change to my home manager config: booxter/nix@167dad2

Since there's a fix for the blurriness, I'm ok with merging the PR as-is.
