OpenDeck window opens for a second then crashes

Hey there! I'm running on Nobara 41 and have tried both the flatpack as well as the .rpm file but neither seem to work for me. The application opens up for a brief second and then crashes. I'm new to linux, if there's logs I can provide I'm happy to do that, just don't know where I would find them. About this System:

There might be some more logs if you run OpenDeck from the terminal with opendeck But most likely, as you have an NVIDIA GPU, the fix is this one: https://discord.com/channels/1143819637897834571/1295870906849165342/1296239170347602004

after running it in the terminal I got this:
 opendeck
Could not parse file "/home/timothyr/.local/share/applications/com.feaneron.Boatswain.desktop": No such file or directory
/usr/bin/xdg-mime: line 885: qtpaths: command not found

Yeah that's the same logs as the person in the thread I linked had I've just found something that would allow this fix to be applied automatically, I'll get that in for 2.4.0 Are you on Wayland or Xorg?

wayland running WEBKIT_DISABLE_DMABUF_RENDERER=1 /bin/opendeck got it to open for me

Awesome Yea just wanted to ask as the fix I found only applied it on Xorg, so I wanted to make sure that it wasn't only a Xorg issue so I could remove that condition before I added it

I don't totally understand this part: https://canary.discord.com/channels/1143819637897834571/1295870906849165342/1296239479740305471 I cd'd to /etc and I don't have an environment file or folder, do I just touch that file and add the webkit variable? roger

yeah that didn't seem to work, I'll wait for the update :) I ended up throwing the variable in my application properties and that got it working for now. you wouldn't happen to know of a media plugin that works for linux do you? I tried to install spotify but it said it was unsupported on linux, also tried SoundDeck, but it's not working at all. all I need is: Previous - Play/Pause - Next

also here's a little bonus bug, it says "failed to install" but adds it to my list of installed plugins anyways.

the Elgato spotify plugin is mac-only, try the BarRaider one "unsupported on platform linux" @\Dem was working on one at some point, but there's the amixer command that @Percy_Ikana might be able to give you their commands you can use with the Run Command action for As for adding it to the installed list anyways, that's also fixed for 2.4.0
