Crash on startup

[xleb-normal]

What are you trying to do, and what do you expect to happen?

I'm trying to run blockbench and expect it to run.

What happens instead?

When running Blockbench on a linux system, the program crashes out

Model format in which the issue occurs

Blockbench variant

Program

Blockbench version

4.10.3 Deb

Operating System

Linux Mint 21.3 x86_64

Installed Blockbench plugins

None

[xleb-normal]

This also happens in the AppImage version
And in Flatpak version

I also tried deleting all files that had anything to do with blockbench, but it didn't work

I am unable to reproduce this issue.

This issue is happening for me too, also on Linux mint 21.3. When running from the terminal:

❯ blockbench
Checking for beta autoupdate feature for deb/rpm distributions
Found package-type: deb
[1]    171627 segmentation fault (core dumped)  blockbench

@JannisX11 Are you going to fix this bug?
Apparently it happens ONLY in Linux Mint 21.3 since you have not been able to replicate this bug.
Here is more information
When running blockbench through the console, the following message is displayed

Segmentation error (memory image dumped to disc)

If run via sudo blockbench

I'm also on Linux Mint 21.3 (specifically Cinnamon), when starting Blockbench it opens a blank window before closing out.

Bump, been having this issue since Blockbench 4.10.0 and newer. I don't use the app professionally, so I've been content to downgrade to 4.9.4 (which still works fine), but it's a shame to not be able to access the newer tools and plugins.

I'm running Linux Mint 21 (Vanessa), with Cinnamon 5.4.12. I get the exact same error as @Xleby4ek when trying to run from Terminal. It'll open to the empty grey screen for a moment before crashing out with the message, "Segmentation Fault".

EDIT:
Figured it was worth adding, the webapp version runs without issue. So whatever is happening, it's specifically with the .deb instillation.

This should be fixed by upgrading electron to 30.0.5 or newer (electron/electron#41839). Upgrading to newer electron versions has been held up by (#2364) so far, which is another electron issue, so I need to make sure that one is fixed before upgrading.
