With Wayland, Signal interface is just a black and void window with the following verbose in console: $ signal-desktop NODE_ENV production NODE_CONFIG_DIR /opt/Signal/resources/app.asar/config NODE_CONFIG {} ALLOW_CONFIG_MUTATIONS undefined HOSTNAME undefined NODE_APP_INSTANCE undefined SUPPRESS_NO_CONFIG_WARNING undefined SIGNAL_ENABLE_HTTP undefined userData: /home/loup/.config/Signal config/get: Successfully read user config file Set Windows Application User Model ID (AUMID) { appUserModelId: 'org.whispersystems.signal-desktop' } x-attr dependency did not load successfully config/get: Successfully read ephemeral config file making app single instance libva error: vaGetDriverNameByIndex() failed with unknown libva error, driver_name = (null) Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Launch a Wayland session (not X11) 2. Launch Signal Actual Results: Signal with black and void window Expected Results: Signal window with its normal content. Operating System: Gentoo Linux KDE Plasma Version: 5.23.0 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.87.0 Qt Version: 5.15.2 Kernel Version: 5.14.13-gentoo-x86_64 (64-bit) Graphics Platform: Wayland Processors: 8 × Intel® Core™ i7-9700K CPU @ 3.60GHz Memory: 31.3 Gio of RAM Graphics Processor: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660 Ti/PCIe/SSE2
It seems that launching signal-desktop this way from console works: signal-desktop --enable-features=UseOzonePlatform --ozone-platform=wayland
Please do include emerge --info in reports, but sounds like glibc-2.34/clone3.

It looks like this was only needed for 5.20.0 as newer versions have electron >= 13.5.0 ? https://github.com/signalapp/Signal-Desktop/blob/v5.21.0/package.json#L248 Which does have the clone3 fix: https://github.com/electron/electron/pull/31091 signal works fine here with glibc-2.34[clone3] (though I do not use Wayland)
