But the latest Gentoo version, 5.34.0 crashes on startup. Removing the ebuild, and all configuration, restarting the host, reinstalling sign-desktop-bin yields the sasme results. I want to got back a version or two, but 5.34.0 is the only one available. Can someone put the old one back up? Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. $ signal-desktop-bin Boom.

Perhaps starting with --disable-gpu could help you? If not, know it's inconvenient, but all old versions are available in git history[1] and could be copied to a local overlay[2] if need to test for regressions.

"--disable-gpu" worked. Thanks for the hint. I had tried to find the CLI options, but signal-desktop has no man page, and the -h and --help options were no help. Thanks for the hint about the ebuild history too. I hope I never need to work that hard on this, or any other ebuild. IMHO, Gentoo should not remove old ebuilds until the new one is known to work. BTW, I went to the signal gitlab page. No build instructions, and only binaries for Debian...
