Description of Bug

I am on Linux Opensuse, Nvidia GPU with proprietary drivers. Definitely not an npm/atom guy. Just thought I'd report. I read things about electron and possible issue with new glibc, but I don't have time to dig further now. So probably not an issue with your stuff in the first place.

$ npm start  

> [email protected] start
> npm run build && electron ./dist/main.js


> [email protected] build
> tsc

Wow, that's interesting. We don't even use the GPU explicitly. I mean, other than just ordinary rendering of the electron window. No clue why that's failing honestly.

Same error.

Arch Linux, also nvidia gpu with cuda drivers.

[Despe01]

Same there, Fedora also with nvidia gpu and cuda drivers.

You can get past this error by editing package.json:

"start": "npm run build && electron --in-process-gpu ./dist/main.js"
