Obsidian not opening on arch DWM

I have been trying to get Obsidian installed and working on my system and I am getting an error that I have found no working solutions for.

I am running Arch Linux with DWM.

Below is the error that I am getting when I run the program.

Even I’m facing this problem while trying to install obsidian. I’m using Arch and hyprland. I tried installing both from pacman and from AUR. Both give me this error. I have another system where I had installed a while back with no issues. It error seems to be related with the new package.
