Black screen when launching

Screenshot attached here.. All 1Password windows are just a black window. I noticed I can still input my password on the Lock Page. (the mouse cursors changes shape when mousing over the master password text box.) So if I enter my password and hit enter it unlocks (but it is still Black. You can see in the screenshot the vault is unlocked by the window title bar). I can see elements in the Firefox extension, but the 1Password standalone app is still black. I have uninstalled, restarted my computer, reinstalled 1Password and the issue remains. I am using the 1Password repository to download.


1Password Version: Latest -- I can't check; black screen
Extension Version: 2.1.4
OS Version: Fedora 35

  • Hi, @fultonm.

    I have a few questions for you, and some suggestions that sometimes help in this situation.

    • What desktop manager are you using?
    • Is this X.Org or Wayland?
    • What graphics card do you have?
    • Is this a Flatpak installation?

    Starting 1Password from the command line with the --disable-gpu-sandbox is one of the things that we've seen fix this problem. Also, some NVIDIA users have fixed it by installing libglvnd-glx, libglvnd-opengl, and libglvnd-devel.

    Unfortunately, we don't know what causes this, nor can we reliably reproduce it ourselves. We're still collecting data.

    Hi Savanni,

    Thanks for your help and information. You have correctly guessed the company my GPU is from haha. ~~ And I understand, Supporting Linux must be a huge undertaking and I applaud 1password for doing that.

    Launching from command line with --disable-gpu-sandbox worked for me. Installing those packages you listed also worked for me for launching the application normally.

    To answer your questions:

    What desktop manager are you using? Gnome 41.2
    Is this X.Org or Wayland? Wayland
    What graphics card do you have? NVIDIA GTX 1060
    Is this a Flatpak installation? I do not believe so. It is installed from the 1Password Stable Channel and its files are in /opt/1Password/ and /usr/lib which seems "native" to me.

    Thanks again and let me know if you want any other data from my system.

  • Thank you. This is an important data point.

    I think that there are several problems with rendering on a few platforms, but it does seem that this one, where you're running directly on the host system and not in a VM, is related to XWayland (because 1Password doesn't run well in native Wayland mode yet) + Nvidia.

  • Oh, are you able to use Nvidia's native drivers, or are you using the Nouveau drivers?
