Anki Desktop on Manjaro doesn't work unless run as a super user

Anki Help

See title. I have tried deleting all local Anki stuff including everything in .local/share/Anki and .local/share/Anki2. I have also reinstalled Anki multiple times to no avail.

When running Anki without super user privileges, I’m just presented with a blank screen showing a toolbar, but no dashboard.

Running as a super user works completely fine, but is not ideal and I’d rather run as a normal user rather than root.

If any more information is required just ask for it and I will provide :slight_smile:

Thanks all,
Phos

A blank main window means something is preventing the webviews from loading.

Manjaro is based on Arch, so this will most likely help:

Time to update dmenu to run Anki with that flag

Cheers :slight_smile:
