Ferdi: Ferdi v5.5.0 AppImage crashes on startup

[obvionaoe]

Describe the bug
Every time I start Ferdi it tries to start by opening the window but immediately crashes and disappears

To Reproduce
Just try and run the AppImage

Expected behavior
Ferdi should run. like normal

Desktop:

• OS: Manjaro Linux, Kernel 5.5.16-1
• Ferdi Version 5.5.0 AppImage

Reporting same crash on Manjaro 20 (up to date at time of writing) with kernel 5.5.19-1 with pre-built and built from sources AUR packages, I guess some dependency is messing up.

Log when launching ferdi in terminal

❯ ferdi
(electron) The default value of app.allowRendererProcessReuse is deprecated, it is currently "false".  It will change to be "true" in Electron 9.  For more information please check https://github.com/electron/electron/issues/18397

If I can assist in any way, please tell me how (:

Issue seems to be resolved at time of writing this comment, note I didn't rebooted since my first comment.

Maybe it is related to the display of the "What's new" page ?

Same issue, also Manjaro. Also seems to have resolved itself. Occasionally crashes on first launch, launching the second/third time works. Since upgrading to 5.5 the autostart option has no effect/is not working, possibly related.

@MattMattV Does "Launch ferdi at start" work for you?

Mine doesn't "fix itself" I can't use Ferdi since I updated, this is what I get when running it from the terminal:

$ ./Ferdi-5.5.0_6198d990b5154094abf05bee4a7cff50.AppImage 
Gtk-Message: 13:47:39.891: Failed to load module "appmenu-gtk-module"

For me, this seems to be related to the AppImage itself as the Ferdi binary from the AUR is working like a charm!

You're right, ferdi-bin from AUR works fine. Cheers

Apparently it isn't related to the AppImage as after I rebooted Ferdi (AUR ferdi-bin) started crashing once again, and becomes completely unusable

[obvionaoe]

Installing the ferdi package (not the binary but the 5.5.0-2 package) from the AUR seems to have fixed it for now, let's see if it is consistent

[obvionaoe]

It isn't, after a reboot it started crashing again
