On linux, Hermes has a transparent window and/or shows strange artefacts

Modified on Thu, 1 Aug, 2024 at 12:18 PM

This can be caused by having desktop effects enabled on your linux system. To determine if this is the cause, please disable desktop effects and see if Hermes launches properly.

If it does, then you can eliminate the problem even with desktop effects enabled by editing the script run_application.sh and add the line

XLIB_SKIP_ARGB_VISUALS=1; export XLIB_SKIP_ARGB_VISUALS

somewhere before the end.​
