firefly: FATAL:gpu_data_manager_impl_private.

Issue description

Hi, I upgraded from Fedora 34 to 35 and since this latest version, I enabled Wayland (I had to do this manually, because I have an NVIDIA graphics card, where the support is somewhat experimental). Since then I can’t start Firefly anymore, because it crashes immediately.

Firefly version

1.2.0

OS details

Feora 35 (Wayland)

Can the issue be reliably reproduced?

Yes

Steps to reproduce the issue

Just start the app

Expected behaviour

Actual behaviour

@StefanoD someone reported that --disable-gpu-sandbox works. Can you try that?

Just adding some notes:

@viossat is also able to reproduce this issue and we’re able to detect the killing of the GPU process by handling the child-process-gone event. I’m wondering if we can detect this event and automatically relaunch Firefly with hardware acceleration disabled, as that might work around the issue in the meantime until we update Electron

Ok. After some research it looks like this was resolved in later versions of Electron (possibly 13.5.0 and later), so it may take us a little while to resolve this issue. The --ignore-gpu-blacklist flag may be necessary for a little bit
