Bug Description
When I try to open AppFlowy for Linux (via .deb or .AppImage file), you see a very short flash of a window opening, but it crashes directly after that.
How to Reproduce
Try to open AppFlowy on Linux via .deb or .AppImage file.
Expected Behavior
The app opening like normal.
Operating System
Linux (Ubuntu 25.04)
AppFlowy Version(s)
0.9.3
Screenshots
No response
Additional Context
Output of the terminal (afy.AppImage is the AppFlowy file):
myusername@mypc:~/Downloads$ ./afy.AppImage
(AppFlowy:9231): Gtk-WARNING **: 07:47:59.224: Could not load a pixbuf from icon theme.
This may indicate that pixbuf loaders or the mime database could not be found.

Seems similar to this: https://discussion.fedoraproject.org/t/gdk-message-error-71-protocol-error-dispatching-to-wayland-display/127927/13
@fwinn commented on GitHub (Jun 24, 2025):
For me, something similar happens.
Starting the app works, but when I go into settings from the initial screen, it crashes. Starting into anonymous mode as well as opening settings from within there works.
Last error message is
Segmentation fault (core dumped)And before there was

@blacklight commented on GitHub (Jun 27, 2025):
Same here.
I'm working on a new fresh installation on a new laptop (I didn't have any issues on my previous installation, but I also hadn't updated it in a few weeks).
Testing on Arch Linux + Sway. The crashes occur both with the Flatpak version and with the
appflowy-binAUR package.In my specific case it happens as soon as the application starts, when I click on Settings.
stracedoesn't give anything meaningful at the time the application crashes:I've also tried to downgrade the Flatpak image to earlier versions (up to commit
eda817eefbb33eab5ce781f7fb3a94fb86bafb77ee232c42b8ae0409affbce2f) to check if it's a regression introduced somewhere, but at least on this new installation also earlier versions fail the same way.@blacklight commented on GitHub (Jul 10, 2025):
Could someone please look into this? It replicates even on a vanilla AppFlowy Flatpak installation on Arch.
@linux4life798 commented on GitHub (Aug 4, 2025):
Issue still exist with version
0.9.4and0.9.5deb packages on Debian 13/trixie, which makes the AppFlowy desktop app unusable. I receive a Segmentation Fault right after the GUI window launches. Rolling back, even to version 0.9.2, does not resolve the issue.Releases

Still broken on
v0.9.6.@linux4life798 commented on GitHub (Aug 5, 2025):
WORKAROUND
I'm not sure what caused the original issue, but I was able to get the desktop client working again by just clearing the local state and re-authenticating.
@blacklight commented on GitHub (Aug 10, 2025):
Sorry but the workaround doesn't work in my case.
The crash consistently reproduces both with:
appflowy-bininstalled via AUR (after wiping~/.local/share/AppFlowy)However, the fact that such a serious and easily reproducible issue skipped all the levels of QA, made it into an official release, and then users were left with a broken application for weeks/months without an official response from the maintainers, makes me believe that this product is awfully immature to store my data. I'll go for alternatives.
