Hi all,

I’m having an issue with the latest version of Plexamp running on Linux…

Previous versions have worked under the same conditions and method of launching (I still haven’t figured out the chrome sandboxing thing yet, hence the `--no-sandbox`)

Plexamp Version#: 3.4.7

> Edit: I just tried 3.4.6 and it seems I am having the same issue here as well. Version 3.4.5 works so the change occurred with 3.4.5 → 3.4.6

```auto
wheatly@debian-pc:~/Applications$ ./Plexamp-3.4.7.AppImage --no-sandbox

Warning: Ignoring XDG_SESSION_TYPE=wayland on Gnome. Use QT_QPA_PLATFORM=wayland to run on Wayland anyway.
Started Media Service: false
libva error: va_getDriverName() failed with unknown libva error,driver_name=(null)
Linux: Registering MPRIS service.
plexamp: intel_memman.c:38: intel_memman_init: Assertion `intel->bufmgr' failed.
plexamp: intel_memman.c:38: intel_memman_init: Assertion `intel->bufmgr' failed.
plexamp: intel_memman.c:38: intel_memman_init: Assertion `intel->bufmgr' failed.

```

Any Linux gurus able to help me out?

Cheers,  
Wheatley
