Gnucash application crash

If I start gnucash, it crashes with

Gdk-Message: 12:23:38.351: Error 71 (protocol error) dispatching to Wayland display

Googling this error the most frequent fix is either

boot parameter nvidia_drm.modeset=1
or
GSK_RENDERER=ngl in “/etc/environment”

I tried both without luck. Does somebody have more information?

Be sure to use the code fence - select the pasted text and click the </> in the comment toolbar.

The result allows to include text which parses as links.

Just tested a new install on Plasma 6.4 using Wayland - work as expected.

So you may be correct in thinking it is nvidia related.

Perhaps it is related to desktop scaling.

Thanks for the “code fence hint”. I included system information in my fist post.

I do not use scaling

AMD/Sway here. No GnuCash issues.
