neovide: Neovide fails to start on Ubuntu 19.10

Hi folks,

Thought i would give this project a try, I’ve installed the build dependencies per your instructions and compiled the application from source. Upon running, neovide seems to error out with the following error message:

 RUST_BACKTRACE=full neovide
X Error of failed request:  BadDrawable (invalid Pixmap or Window parameter)
  Major opcode of failed request:  149 ()
  Minor opcode of failed request:  4
  Resource id in failed request:  0x1c0000c
  Serial number of failed request:  239
  Current serial number in output stream:  247

I’m running Ubuntu 19.10, with i3 as a window manager, against the AppImage version of neovim, which is currently at version 0.4.3.

Please let me know what additional information I can provide to help diagnose!

I’ve got nothing for you unfortunately. If intel graphics works, then youre probably good

I meant building neovide from source just to be clear

Can you try running a debug build?

I’m running i3 with an Nvidia GPU and Ubuntu 19.10 so that shouldn’t be the problem. Are you using plain i3 or i3 + compositor?
