i3 tray issue

Hi folks,
On my i3-wm config file, I have those lines:

exec joplin-desktop
exec riot-desktop --hidden
exec quiterss
exec /usr/bin/signal-desktop --start-in-tray
exec keepassxc

It was working well but since 3 days now, riot and signal failed to start.
When I try to run them manually with the --hidden option for riot and --start-in-tray for signal, they don't appear on the tray bar as expected.
I have no idea on how to better diagnose this issue but I suspect it is an electron js issue.
Am I alone? How to fix it?
Thanks

Probably a similar side effect to https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=252838

Thanks for the clue but downgrading glibc to 2.30-3 doesn't solve the problem.

Re: i3 tray issue

Then start them in a terminal and check/post the output.

FWIW this might also be session issues, how are you starting i3? Check your

loginctl session-status
journalctl -b

When I start them in a terminal, I have no specific message. Seems like everything is ok, no errors.

And, I also launch Joplin on start up. It's also based on electron and it works perfectly and appears on the tray bar as expected.

Re: i3 tray issue

but is the process itself running? Maybe you can check with

ps aux | grep <name>
