In ArchLinux with GNOME Wayland, YACReader is stuck without window after starting up. The process itself does not exit, but there is simply no window being shown. I got this issue after doing full upgrade of arch packages to the latest (pacman -Syu).
Some observations:
- If I switch to GNOME Xorg, YACReader run normally without issue. The issue occur when I use GNOME Wayland.
- There are no error logs from stdout and stderr, simply nothing.
- If I run YACReader with strace, I got:
```

poll([{fd=5, events=POLLIN}, {fd=7, events=POLLIN}, {fd=15, events=POLLIN}], 3, 16) = 0 (Timeout)

```
After that, the poll is repeated infinitely. I guess this poll is normal, but I don't have any clue anymore other than this.
Some attempt to solve that I've tried:
- Tried rebuilding libpdfium and YACReader, still not solved.
- Tried removing xdg-desktop-portal and xdg-desktop-portal-gtk as suggested in
bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=262897
, still not solved.
- Tried removing home .cache folder, still not solved
Personally, I think the problem reside in GNOME Wayland, but I am still not sure.
I might switch between Wayland to Xorg as a workaround every time I need to use YACReader, but this is not ideal and not solving the root cause.
Other details:
I use yacreader package from aur (
aur.archlinux.org/packages/yacreader
).
I use EndeavourOS (rolling release, latest update).
Any suggestion to solve this?
