Linux AppImage desktop app not starting

I too am fighting with this issue on Arch. It seems to load up in X11 no questions however Wayland is another story.

I have gotten it to a state of…. well it runs every second try after I kill it the first time.

I recommend making a backup of the two folders under

~/config/

Joplin and joplin-desktop

My kinda, sorta workaround is to remove all the folders named cache, resources, & tmp

I would also remove them in the base folder joplin-desktop

Select all processes that are named electron and force terminate if they don’t go away and try again.

Joplin is version 3.4.12 as of this post.

This is my system is currently

KDE Plasma Version: 6.5.0
KDE Frameworks Version: 6.19.0
Qt Version: 6.10.0
Kernel Version: 6.17.5-arch1-1 (64-bit)
Graphics Platform: Wayland

I seems if you just remove both of Joplin and joplin-desktop then it doesn’t seem to have this issue anymore but I haven’t tested in depth.

I’m currently using the aur package from AUR (en) - joplin

I have also had this issue with the aur appimage and the stable & beta appimages from the github repo.
