[SOLVED] Electron/Webapps crashing with Segmentation Fault

The Issue:
When I play audio files on Discord, Segmentation Fault,
when I go to Steams download page, Segmentation Fault,
when I wanna move a Playlist in Spotify, Segmentation Fault.
I have this issue since August.
I dont know what to do anymore,

So it happens in Electron or in Web apps, like Spotify, Discord and Steam.

what I already tried:
- Turn Resizable bar off
- Turn Core Performance Boost off
- Downgrade glibc and lib32-glibc
- Downgrade Mesa, now i upgraded again after it didnt work
- Used X11 (bspwm), same problem there
- This issue also happens with Flatpak apps
- This issue does not appear on Windows 11 24H2 (I dual boot)
- Up to Date Kernel and every Libary is also up-to-date
- My Arch was installed on Silvester last year

My Setup:

Software Side:
- Arch Linux
- Linux 6.12.3-arch1-1
- Systemd-Boot as my Boot Manager
- Hyprland as WM Wayland, (previously bspwm)
- SDDM as DM (previously ly)
- Kitty as Terminal
- zsh 5.9
- I am using plymouth
- Newest Mesa, Vulkan and AMD Drivers

Hardware Side:
- CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 3700X
- GPU: AMD Radeon RX 6700XT
- RAM: 16 GB DDR4 Corsair Vengance RGB Pro
- MoBo: ASUS PRIME B450-PLUS
- SSD: Samsung Sata SSD (idk what it was)

Please check the https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Core_d … _core_dump and post a backtrace for such segfault.

If you're using the Adwaita cursor theme, switch to DMZ. Adwaita is *deliberately* broken for stuff that's not a "core gnome application".

I do not use the Adwaita cursor theme, I use Quintom_Snow, but thanks, did not know that.

(also happens with normal discord, but I use canary for screensharing rn)

There's an infinite recursion, it's your cursor theme.
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php … 4#p2207324
(Leads to a script in https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php … 1#p2082761 that should™ fix up your theme)

Re: [SOLVED] Electron/Webapps crashing with Segmentation Fault

So I just run the script and it does what?
I have some of my cursors in /usr/share/icons, bc of sddm and in .icons, will this cause an issue?

Re: [SOLVED] Electron/Webapps crashing with Segmentation Fault

If you enter the "cursors" directory of your theme and run the script it'll add symlinks for known cursor names.

cd /usr/share/icons/Quintom_Snow/cursors
sudo /path/to/script.sh
