Hello everyone, I recently installed Arch Linux, with the GNOME desktop environment, and I've been having this strange issue. Most the applications I install from the application center terminate immediately on launch. I observed this from the task manager; as soon as I launch the program, it terminates. The only exceptions to this are GIMP and Sublime Text which work normally. Apps that I've installed that terminate immediately on launch are Bitwarden, Discord, and Atom. Does anyone know why this may be happening?

The output was over 2000 lines, so I put it in a Pastebin for your convenience, let me know if you want me to just post it normally. Thanks!

pastebin.com is much better, thanks!
I have noticed some of your failed apps are network related. Are you experiencing network connection instability issue?

Do you have networkmanager and dhcpd services both enabled?
$ systemctl list-unit-files --state enabled

I'm not having any internet issues, I'm wired in via ethernet and everything is fine, but I can't get Wi-Fi to work for some reason; when I go into settings and click on the Wi-Fi option, at the top it says "Firmware Missing" and it just scans for networks forever without any coming up. I didn't think that this was much of an issue since ethernet was still functional. NetworkManager and dhcpd were enabled when I ran that command though.

What if you start atom from a terminal?

I'm sorry, but how exactly do you do this? I tried
$ atom
command not found: atom
$ Atom
command not found: Atom
$ atom-real
command not found: atom-real

it should be atom.
What exactly did you install? Afaik GNOME software might have flatpak or so integration and that might explain weird behaviors here.

Try installing the applications using the recommended method (pacman) instead of using snap/flatpak/whetever else that Gnome Software is trying to foist on you.

I installed it from pacman and when the program is run, it still terminates immediately. Running it from the terminal results in this:
$ atom

are you running programs as root?
Keep it simple, stupid.

Does it run as user?
Or as root with --no-sandbox

are you running programs as root?
Yes, and I know this isn't a good idea, so I made another user that isn't root but has sudo privileges. Running atom still doesn't work, it still thinks that I am root for some reason.

It runs fine as root with --no-sandbox, but it requires that even as another user, I think for some reason it still thinks I'm root but I'm not

How do you login as the none root user?

I just log out of the root account, then select that user, enter the password, and I'm in.

why did you make a point of saying the non-root user has sudo access? You aren't using sudo, are you?

For some reason, thats the only thing it doesn't show, but it shows everything else... this is strange, i'll try to find a way to fix this

I fixed the issue on my own by just reinstalling Arch from the documentary. Sorry for wasting your time, but thanks for helping me anyway.
EDIT: How do I close this thread?

Edit your first post and there is an option to change the thread title. Edit it and prepend [SOLVED] to the title. Shorten the title as needed if it does not all fit.
