Bug report

Hello folks,
I recently switched from MacOS to Arch Linux.
I now encounter some issues while startup. Inkdrop needs up to 30 seconds to start, which is crazy.
Some member in the dc community recommended to use the --enable-logging flag - brilliant:

So, apparently it is an issue with my stack of hardware/environment configs.
When I start inkdrop with disabled gpu and gpu-compositing, it works as expected.

NOTE: Log with disabled gpu:

I don’t know IF this is something really necessary to be fixed within the application, because I downloaded other electron applications to test it like discord and obsidian, but they just work fine out-of-the-box.

Hi @anon7780473 ,

Thanks for the report.
It looks like a GPU memory allocation failure according to these logs:

intel: the execbuf ioctl keeps returning ENOMEM
GPU process exited unexpectedly: exit_code=134
The GPU process has crashed 1 time(s)

How did you install the app? The deb package or snap package?
How did you install the other apps?

The version of Electron in the stable Inkdrop binary might be outdated.
Is it possible to reproduce the issue on v6-canary?

Also, you have a keyring issue:

  app:error Failed to migrate credentials to safeStorage: Error: Error while encrypting the text provided to safeStorage.encryptString. Encryption is not available.

Bumped up Electron to 39.4.0 in v5.11.8:

The user has already quit though, I hope it addresses the startup time issue for other people.
