GitkKraken crashes at startup most probably related to my nvidia graphics driver on Fedora 37

Question

I'm running GitKraken 9.2 and since recently it started crashing when I tried to start GitKraken on my Fedora 37.

The crash dump and log seems that the crash is related to my graphics driver installation, which is.

$ inxi -G
Graphics:
  Device-1: NVIDIA GP107GL [Quadro P400] driver: nvidia v: 525.89.02
  Device-2: Dell Integrated_Webcam_5M_IR type: USB driver: uvcvideo
  Display: server: X.Org v: 1.20.14 with: Xwayland v: 22.1.8 driver: X:
    loaded: nvidia unloaded: fbdev,modesetting,nouveau,vesa dri: swrast
    gpu: nvidia,nvidia-nvswitch resolution: 1: 3440x1440~60Hz
    2: 2560x1440~60Hz 3: 2048x1152~60Hz
  API: OpenGL v: 4.5 Mesa 22.3.7 renderer: llvmpipe (LLVM 15.0.7 256 bits)

The GitKraken produced log looks like this:

Answer 1

After failing with lots of trial and error, such as updating the driver, changing the OpenGL renderer, etc. I finally stumbled upon GitKraken's launch options, which solved my problem. The one option I used was for disabling hardware acceleration

$ gitkraken --disable-gpu

If this doesn't help for you, I've found two other options that may:

$ gitkraken --no-sandbox

or

$ gitkraken --disable-extensions

Good Luck!
