linux itch app does not launch on linux mint 21

I just updated my computer. It was working fine on mint 20 (based on ubuntu 20.4) but crash at launch on mint 21 (based on ubuntu 22.4). I made sure libgtk-3-0 is installed, is there any other dependency? Can I get any clue to make this work?

Thanks!

Have you tried running it with --no-sandbox flag? In a terminal:

.itch/itch --no-sandbox

It works for me but is there a way I can edit the app so I dont have to use the terminal every time

Just create a script and place it on your desktop, panel or menu where you can simply click on it.

you can edit the application launcher in ~/.local/share/applications directory. edit the io.itch.itch.desktop file to add –no-sandbox at the end of the Exec= line

Yes, it works fine with the –no-sandbox parameter. I will use it that way then.

Thank you!

Glad it worked. It's apparently been a known issue for a while now. Something to do with an outdated electron version:

No sandbox option does NOT work for me, also using Mint 21, Ubuntu based.   ; (
