Instant crash on kali linux

Micropad crashes the second i try to open it.
installed from the snap store on kali linux
@Pruizcoder Hi, that's not good. I'll look into it. In the meantime does the AppImage or .deb version run for you?
Also, what version of Kali Linux are you running?
@Pruizcoder Could you also please try and open MicroPad from the terminal and post what it prints. To open micropad from the terminal, open your terminal and type in micropad.
tried to uninstall it and install the deb package but nothing changed, the kali version is 2022.3, just updated, if i try to run it form the terminal i get this message [2470:1005/091337.173541:FATAL:gpu_data_manager_impl_private.cc(894)] The display compositor is frequently crashing. Goodbye. zsh: trace trap micropad
Hmm, I just installed Kali and it ran fine for me. According to some searching it appears that there is a bug with how Electron interacts with the proprietary NVIDIA driver (see https://www.reddit.com/r/openSUSE/comments/srbswv/any_suggestions_with_running_appimage/)
The suggested fix is to launch the app with micropad --disable-gpu-sandbox or micropad --no-sandbox.
Hopefully a future release of Electron or the NVIDIA driver will fix this issue. If neither of these work, you can access MicroPad with your browser by going to https://web.getmicropad.com. The browser version of MicroPad is fully featured with the same functionality and privacy as the desktop version.
your suggested fix worked, it's strange that it's a Nvidia graphics driver problem since i have a radeon ATI graphics card on my pc
Weird. I'll close this for now. Thanks for bringing this to my attention.
