Plexamp 3.0 doesn’t start on my Arch system. All packages updated. Electron is v8.2.2. I’m not sure what is shipped with the AppImage or what else information might be helpful. > **this is the terminal output** > > ```auto > ./Plexamp-3.0.0.AppImage > Started Media Service: false > Linux: Registering MPRIS service. > ../../sandbox/linux/seccomp-bpf-helpers/sigsys_handlers.cc: **CRASHING** :seccomp-bpf failure in syscall 0230 > ../../sandbox/linux/seccomp-bpf-helpers/sigsys_handlers.cc: **CRASHING** :seccomp-bpf failure in syscall 0230 > (node:11637) Electron: Loading non context-aware native modules in the renderer process is deprecated and will stop working at some point in the future, please see https://github.com/electron/electron/issues/18397 for more information > (node:11637) Electron: Loading non context-aware native modules in the renderer process is deprecated and will stop working at some point in the future, please see https://github.com/electron/electron/issues/18397 for more information > ../../sandbox/linux/seccomp-bpf-helpers/sigsys_handlers.cc: **CRASHING** :seccomp-bpf failure in syscall 0230 > > ``` ---

Seems possibly related to [this issue reported on redhat](https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1773289), where glibc broke quite a lot of software (chrome, firefox, openssh, etc). I will ask someone more familiar with build tools if something needs to be changed for linux here. ---

I’ve also seen Arch users mentioning downgrading to Electron 8.0.0 for other AppImages. I’m trying to sort out my own issues with AppImage and Debian over here. I’m starting to think AppImage is trash. EDIT: I stand corrected, it’s not AppImage that’s trash, it’s Electron. And only because it doesn’t play nicely with new versions of Debian without making some questionable changes. ---

PlexAmp will start for me, but the sign in button does nothing. This is still one step better than the previous version, which didn’t launch at all. 😃 ---

I did not but I’m glad that flag works for you. I’m using the latest version of `glibc`, I’ve read it’s required for WebRTC in Electron. Maybe that’s a fix? ---

> It works on Arch Linux with KDE but not on Manjaro with i3-wm. I have it working on my Manjaro i3. I followed the guide here: [Run Plexamp v3.0.0 on Debian 10](https://forums.plex.tv/t/run-plexamp-v3-0-0-on-debian-10/576423) which works great and does away with annoying Library folder being created in our home directories. Once that was done, I added the following to my i3 config: > bindsym $mod+F5 exec /home/USERNAME/.local/Plexamp/Plexamp-3.0.0.AppImage --no-sandbox After that it launches fine. ---
