spacefm segmentation fault

I've just installed spacefm. When I launch it I get a warning about

not having my root editor configured, and then I get a segmentation

fault. Nothing ever appears graphically. I believe these issues are

unrelated, but I can't be sure.

(spacefm:18027): SpaceFM-WARNING **: 13:01:17.628: No root settings

found in /gnu/store/6drirn0mil0maz1wjzf5q6hhnsdc3hq0-spacefm-1.0.6/etc/spacefm/

Setting a root editor in Preferences should remove this warning on

startup. Otherwise commands run as root may present a security risk.

zsh: segmentation fault spacefm

guix version:

Just adding some info, I'm using Sway on Wayland. I noticed another

program, pcmanfm-qt was complaining about missing a plugin for wayland

support, so perhaps spacefm needs to support wayland and doesn't

currently.

I also couldn't get spacefm to launch a while ago when I tried

Wayland. However, I notice that the developer has a separate

"spacefm-wayland" repository with a link to an issue on why normal

spacefm doesn't work in Wayland.

It says it's a temporary branch so I suppose eventually spacefm will

support it, but if you want to get it working now you'd probably

have to build from here instead:

I just discovered that the segmentation fault on wayland can be avoided by

starting spacefm with:

WAYLAND_DISPLAY= spacefm

Hopefully this enables you or anyone else to be able to keep using this

great file browser while on wayland.

Hello,

Thanks for sharing the tip.

As this is a Wayland-specific upstream issue unresolved [0] since 2014,

I'll close this on our side.

Thanks for reporting!
