Hi All

I have an issue with the exam enviroment AppImage. when opened i get a blank white screen

if ran via terminal i get the following response

“./Applications/Exam.Environment_1.5.0_amd64_ddc96526f5e4865680e286ae39930e67.AppImage
Gtk-Message: 15:16:59.593: Failed to load module “appmenu-gtk-module”: ‘gtk_module_display_init’: /usr/lib64/gtk-3.0/modules/libwindow-decorations-gtk-module.so: undefined symbol: gtk_module_display_init
Could not create default EGL display: EGL_BAD_PARAMETER. Aborting…

** (exam-env:4385): WARNING **: 15:17:24.704: atk-bridge: get_device_events_reply: unknown signature”

other AppImages work as expected

any advice on this would be greatly appreciated

Thanks

Did you generate a signature and copy/paste it into the app?

3

When opened there is no text at all so no where for me to enter the signature generated

Which operating system and version?

EDIT: aa.. “CachyOS” is your OS?

7

yes CachyOS is my os its rolling release so doesnt really have a version number as such

Looks like it could be a compatibility issue with Linux or this distro. I’m not really sure if this is the same thing, but maybe there’s something that needs to be updated…

That was my concern its unusual that other AppImages work perfectly but this one doesn’t

this usualy indicated a graphics driver issue but the system and all drivers are up to date

i am currently working out how i can install this from source maybe that may help as i can not find this on any repo or the AUR

if i can get it working another way i will update

I don’t think this app is open source

you can try to write to support@freecodecamp.org with the details of your system

Ok I see you were already on to this.

Maybe a Windows emulator?

I have a similar problem:

(same on my laptop running fedora 43 and my desktop with fedora 42)

$ ./Exam.Environment_1.6.0_amd64.AppImage
Could not create default EGL display: EGL_BAD_PARAMETER. Aborting…

Same happens with Fedora 43 (both KDE & Gnome). Installed Debian 13 and it works fine. Personally don’t like Ubuntu, hence want to avoid it unless I HAVE to use it.

I had the same error: “EGL display: EGL_BAD_PARAMETER”. And the issue is that my Arch system has libraries it needs to launch apps, but the libraries bundled with the appimage are either outdated or non-existent, outright.
So here it is a fix for Wayland:
```
LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libwayland-client.so ./Exam.Environment_1.7.5_amd64.AppImage
```
Replace the “1.7.5” with the current version, and open the terminal in the place where the image is.

THANK YOU, it fixes it for me as well
