Mailspring does not open on Fedora 29 Rawhide

[pbirkbeck]

When running the latest version of mailspring from applications menu nothing happens. When running from terminal I get this -
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

Also snap package does not open either

Hey thanks for reporting this—can you try running mailspring from the command line like this:

ELECTRON_ENABLE_LOGGING=true mailspring

I've seen this before specifically with the Snap package when it's getting AppArmor violations and needs additional permissions, but not in the un-snapped version.

I'm having the same problem. The above command unfortunately doesn't output any more information though.

Running:

• Linux Kernel 4.17.13 on Arch
• Mailspring version 1.3.0

Might be fixed by newest version but AUR package hasn't been updated yet.
The issues might be related to glibc according to the comment section on the AUR repo.

can confirm, after thunderbird version 60 giving me some issues, I am looking at what else is out there, and mailspring wont start, comment on aur is saying that it needs older version of glibc

arch is on glibc 2.28
suppose to work with 2.27

Seems like a bigger issue with electron. The workaround mentioned in the aur by patching the binary worked for me.

Newest version of Mailspring has the problem as well

Tracked here https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/59550

The workaround is to update to Electron. The issue has been fixed

I'm still having this issue on Fedora 29 using the snap package. I get the following in the terminal:
