From 0b1348c33b48f7206be4843decae1716c863700c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: 0xtriboulet <0xtriboulet@gmail.com> Date: Tue, 3 Mar 2026 19:09:16 -0500 Subject: [PATCH 1/9] Fix Linux display crash, add AppImage/deb build targets MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit - src/index.mjs: add ozone-platform-hint=auto for Linux before app.whenReady() so all instances (including rnio:// deep-link second-instances) auto-select Wayland or fall back to X11 — no manual --ozone-platform flag needed. - build/config.js: change Linux target from [snap] to [AppImage, deb, snap]; add snap plugs (x11, wayland, desktop-legacy, opengl, home, network, browser-support) so the snap version works without manual plug connections. - build/version.mjs: fix import.meta.dirname → fileURLToPath pattern for Node 18 compatibility (import.meta.dirname requires Node >=20.11). - build/webapp.js: skip webapp rebuild when dist already present; pass empty SENTRY_AUTH_TOKEN so Sentry CLI plugin degrades gracefully on local builds. - .github/workflows/linux.yml: upload AppImage and deb as CI artifacts alongside the existing Snap Store publish step. - build.sh: convenience build script for local Linux builds. - RAINDROP-REPORT.md: analysis, changes, build instructions, binary path. Upstream changes merged: raindropio/desktop@4601c1a (webapp submodule update).

Exiting. +Segmentation fault (core dumped) +``` + +### Root Causes + +| # | Cause | Detail | +|---|---|---| +| 1 | **Snap GPU confinement** | The only Linux build target was `snap`. Snap isolates the app inside a container and restricts GPU driver discovery to the snap's own GNOME platform prefix (`/snap/raindrop/.../dri`). The host GPU drivers (nouveau, swrast, etc.) are invisible to the snap without the `opengl` plug being connected. | +| 2 | **Wayland-first crash** | Electron/Chromium attempts Wayland by default and crashes with a segfault when no Wayland socket is available (e.g., on an X11-only session or when the snap doesn't have the `wayland` plug). There was no fallback to X11 configured in the application code. | +| 3 | **Deep-link login failure** | The workaround of passing `--ozone-platform=x11` on the command line only fixes the manually launched instance. When Raindrop's OAuth flow completes, the browser opens the `rnio://` deep-link URI, which causes the OS to spawn a *fresh* `raindrop` process (or the snap binary) **without** the user-supplied flag. That new process also hits the Wayland crash before it can hand the URL to the already-running first instance, breaking the login flow. The fix must be applied **inside the application code** so every spawned instance benefits. | + +--- + +## Changes Made + +### 1.

Exiting. -Segmentation fault (core dumped) -``` - -### Root Causes - -| # | Cause | Detail | -|---|---|---| -| 1 | **Snap GPU confinement** | The only Linux build target was `snap`. Snap isolates the app inside a container and restricts GPU driver discovery to the snap's own GNOME platform prefix (`/snap/raindrop/.../dri`). The host GPU drivers (nouveau, swrast, etc.) are invisible to the snap without the `opengl` plug being connected. | -| 2 | **Wayland-first crash** | Electron/Chromium attempts Wayland by default and crashes with a segfault when no Wayland socket is available (e.g., on an X11-only session or when the snap doesn't have the `wayland` plug). There was no fallback to X11 configured in the application code. | -| 3 | **Deep-link login failure** | The workaround of passing `--ozone-platform=x11` on the command line only fixes the manually launched instance. When Raindrop's OAuth flow completes, the browser opens the `rnio://` deep-link URI, which causes the OS to spawn a *fresh* `raindrop` process (or the snap binary) **without** the user-supplied flag. That new process also hits the Wayland crash before it can hand the URL to the already-running first instance, breaking the login flow. The fix must be applied **inside the application code** so every spawned instance benefits. | - ---- - -## Changes Made - -### 1. Pull upstream changes (`raindropio/desktop`) - -Upstream had one commit ahead (`4601c1a "Force deploy"`) updating the `webapp` submodule -pointer. This was merged via fast-forward: - -``` -git remote add upstream https://github.com/raindropio/desktop.git -git fetch upstream -git merge upstream/master # fast-forward, webapp submodule updated -``` - -### 2. `src/index.mjs` – Ozone platform hint (Linux display fix) - -```diff - // Fix webview fail for Twitter - app.commandLine.appendSwitch('disable-features', 'CrossOriginOpenerPolicy') - -+// Linux display compatibility: auto-select Wayland when available, fall back to X11. -+// This must be set before app.whenReady() so it also takes effect when a second -+// instance is spawned by the OS to handle rnio:// deep-links (OAuth callback). -+if (process.platform === 'linux') -+ app.commandLine.appendSwitch('ozone-platform-hint', 'auto') -+ - // Security (snap doesn't work properly with sandbox) - if (process.platform !== 'linux') - app.enableSandbox() -``` - -**Why `ozone-platform-hint=auto`?** -- Tries Wayland first; silently falls back to X11 if no Wayland socket exists. -- Applied via `app.commandLine.appendSwitch` (in-process) so it is **always** active, - including for the second instance launched by the OS for `rnio://` deep-links. -- No user-visible behaviour change on Wayland desktops. - -### 3. `build/config.js` – Linux build targets + snap plugs - -```diff - linux: { - ... -- target: ['snap'], -+ // AppImage and deb run outside snap confinement so GPU/display issues don't apply. -+ // snap kept for Snap Store publishing. -+ target: ['AppImage', 'deb', 'snap'], - ... - }, - - snap: { - artifactName: 'Raindrop-${arch}.${ext}', -+ // Grant display and GPU access so the snap version works without manual plug connections. -+ plugs: ['x11', 'wayland', 'desktop', 'desktop-legacy', 'opengl', 'home', 'network', 'browser-support'] - }, -``` - -- **AppImage** – self-contained, no install required, no sandbox/confinement. -- **deb** – standard Debian/Ubuntu package; installs to `/opt/Raindrop.io/`. -- **snap plugs** – grant the snap access to display servers and GPU so the snap version - also works without users needing to manually `snap connect`. - -### 4. `build/version.mjs` – Node 18 compatibility - -`import.meta.dirname` is only available in Node ≥ 20.11. The system Node (18.x) is used to -run the pre-build step, causing a crash.
