Can't start Firefox and VLC on xwayland: "Caught signal 4 (Illegal instruction). Server aborting"
Hi!
I'm using sway 1.4 on Arch Linux and since the last update with pacman -Syu
, I can't run Firefox anymore and VLC crashes too.
Running firefox &
produces this on the command line:
Unable to init server: Could not connect: Connection refused
Error: cannot open display: :0
Here's an excerpt from journalctl
when Firefox was started:
Feb 15 18:31:58 marathon systemd[1]: Started Process Core Dump (PID 794560/UID 0).

This is from sway -d
at the same time:

When starting VLC, this is what shows up in journalctl
:
