**OS: Fedora 29, 4.19.301 Kernel

**GPMDP Version: 4.6.1

**Issue Descriptions:
Starts up, I get a brief white screen with a circle, then it gets to a black screen and that's it. I can use the keyboard shortcut ctrl+shift+g to open, but since nothing is being rendered it's not the most helpful.

google-play-music-desktop-player --disable-gpu
Starting Sentry
error: Failed to load bonjour with error: {}
Bonjour is required to use Chromecast Support or to enable ZeroConf for the PlaybackAPI
On linux you need to install "avahi"

I can navigate to the site, and play with a chromium browser with no issues.

**Steps to Reproduce: Start the software.

I have the same problem, I really miss the App :-)
I have had it running on Fedora 29, but for some reason it suddenly went blackscreen on me

I have the same error on windows 10 with the "launch when windows start" option. it works after I re-launch the app manually.

[AppelonD]

I just build a RPM there works with Fedorta 29, please use
dnf copr enable appelond/google-play-music-desktop-player
I'll try to keep up with the builds

[AngelusDulcis]

I enabled @AppelonD 's repo, the app is working a treat on Fedora 29 build. Thank you!

[FreedomBen]

Was seeing core dump immediately upon initialization on F29, but @AppelonD 's repo fixed the problem

[MarshallOfSound]

Fixed in master, will be fixed in the next release
