It seems likely this app is not compatible with wayland. Try to launch it with,

QT_QPA_PLATFORM=wayland sioyek

if it works set QT_QPA_PLATFORM=wayland as your environment variable (easily doable in /etc/environment file)

If it fails then,

QT_QPA_PLATFORM=xcb sioyek

It will launch sioyek with xwayland and might be blurry. If this works then yes wayland is your issue. You can two options,

Switch to x11. When booting up from sddm just below the password field there is a small drop box to switch between x11 and wayland.
make a copy of sioyek .desktop file (present in /usr/share/applications/) and store it in ~/.local/share/applications and edit it. Go to the Exec= field and edit it to include this env. variable so that it lauches your program in xwayland mode when you click it’s launch icon.

neither options worked when running on wayland with the same errors above

EDIT:
Hey just found this bug mentioned on AUR,

https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/sioyek#comment-957588

It seems sioyek-git works right now. No hackery needed for it. Just do a,

paru -Sa sioyek-git

can you try,

sudo downgrade jbig2dec

and downgrade jbig2dec just one version the current version it’s on? The curr ver can be checked with

pacman -Qs jbig2dec

This seems to be a recurring issue for mupdf and everytime jbig2dec seems to be the culprit.

If this is not the culprit you can simply update it again,

sudo pacman -S jbig2dec

If that doesn’t work check this out,

Although what they suggest is for zathura you can apply it to sioyek as well. Just use paru to pull the AUR package like this,

paru -Sa sioyek

Hmm how about git cloning the AUR repo and running makepkg -si in it?

Just ran the same paru command you ran and it seems to work perfectly no problem? Maybe you just have bad net.

Yeah sioyek-git seems to work for me as well.

I’m using zathura, simple app, good for viewing and printing on hyprland.
