Expected

I expected the program to start

Observed

I made a fresh VM of Fedora 35 and tested the same rpm/appimage of Simplenote. I got the same results as this bug report. I don't know why mine is different or if it related.

Reproduced

1. Start simplenote within the terminal

Where did you see the bug

• System Make: AMD Ryzen 5 2600, AMD Radeon RX 470, 32gb ram
• OS: Fedora 35 + Cinnamon DE
• Simplenote app version: 2.21.0-x86_64 RPM & appimage
• my neofetch

I can confirm that this issue also happens on Fedora 35 + Gnome (Both Xorg and Wayland). It happens regardless if you started via terminal or via desktop shortcut.

EDIT:
Intel i7-10510U
UHD Graphics 620

Fedora 35 KDE - same issue (5.14.17-301.fc35.x86_64)

[brajevicm]

Temporary workaround would be to edit desktop shortcut, and make the following change:
Exec=/opt/Simplenote/simplenote %U -> Exec=/opt/Simplenote/simplenote --no-sandbox %U

On Fedora 35 + Gnome, the shortuct is located at /usr/share/applications/simplenote.desktop

[Jed28]

The workaround works, thanks.

[PinkFrosty]

Thank you for the workaround. It's now working for me on F35 xfce4 spin.

[coderGambit]

Thanks @brajevicm , this workaround works for ClickUp in F35 KDE

Probably related/similar problem from 4695050-zen:

... at the moment simplenote will not run on the latest version of Fedora 35. It generates a gpu_data_manager_impl_private error. I also have seen this error report in another place that has nothing to do with your great program, so it is likely a Fedora issue. I see the same problem with both the rpm and AppImage versions, and I do not see any problems on my KDE Neon system which is based on an older Ubuntu LTS base. Also the Windows version works fine, but it pains me to have to run Windows! Apple and Android versions are also good.

Simple-linux-2.21.0-x86_64.rpm is installed and produces this output:

al@xvb:/home/al $/opt/Simplenote/simplenote
[12257:0124/112406.809083:FATAL:gpu_data_manager_impl_private.cc(415)] GPU process isn't usable. Goodbye.

I am running Fedora 35, which while it is not completely bleeding edge stuff is one of the more advanced and progressive distributions of Linux:

Linux xvb 5.15.16-200.fc35.x86_64 #1 SMP Thu Jan 20 15:38:18 UTC 2022 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

As previously stated, this version runs OK on an Ubuntu LTS based system (KDE Neon, older kernel and libs) and Windows. I also tried the AppImage here, and it fails exactly the same as the rpm version. I found that interesting as I thought an AppImage had all the required libs included as part of the image, thus removing various dependencies.

The same gpu error has been reported for another program on other distributions, so I do not think the error is specific to SimpleNote, but rather a Linux problem, possibly a change (update) in a lib package. See this error report:

Workaround 'works' on 5.17.5-76051705-generic Pop!_OS 22.04...

[ghostry]

-no-sandbox works on ubuntu 22.04

[vpicavet]

I had the same error with the Linux Zoom client, and launching it with --no-sandbox allows the program to run. No idea why though, but thanks for the workaround ;-)
