AppImage not longer working on Ubuntu 22.04

[aramshan]

Hi folks,

Obsidian not longer starting on my Ubuntu machine.

Ubuntu 22.04
AppImage 1.0.0 freshly downloaded from website
Integrated in system with AppImageLauncher.
On startup I see a message in the UI:

“An error occured while loading Obsidian. TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefinde (reading ‘on’)”

Starting Dev Console shows:

TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading ‘on’)

Starting the app from a terminal shows:

2022-10-20 18:50:20 App is up to date.

I’m not sure if my problem is the libva error from the terminal or the javascript error from the developer tools.

I’m a Catalyst user and I’m unfortunately not quite sure, if before trying to make a fresh install there was a 1.0.0 or a 1.0.1 on the system. The AppImage 1.0.1 is, as far as I know, not available online.

Any hints on how to analyse this further?

I would recommend to search the forum before posting:

Obsidian 1.0.1 won't start

Obsidian 1.0.1 won’t start for me. I get the following error and then the UI hangs: [image] Things I have tried: Reinstalling Obsidian: Didn’t work, got same error. Deleting my .obsidian folder for the vault: Didn’t work, got same error. Deleting the .config/obsidian folder: Worked (effectively downgrading me back to 14.16), but upon re-upgrading back to 1.0.1 I got this error again. Manually downgrade to 1.0.0: Worked, but when I upgraded to 1.0.1 it broke again. Here is my debug outpu…

Hi Uwe, it looks like there might be an issue with 1.0.1 on Linux.

In the meantime, I suggest rolling back to 1.0.0. That’s what I did (running on Ubuntu) and Obsidian is working fine for me. I have auto-updates turned off for now.

I did search for the error messages in UI and console. The original poster provided a screenshot. That’s the reason I always provide the error messages as text, to be found easier. Thanks for your suggestion though.
