Yoshimi does not launch

Issues & Assistance Unsupported Software (AUR & Other)

When I installed Yoshimi synthetiser it first launched correctly but for some time it doesn’t launch at all. Here is the return when I launch it on the terminal.

Do you have an idea how to fix that ?

It’s probably an upstream issue in that package when used with wayland (which should be your case, but you didn’t post your garuda-inxi as required in the topic template).
See e g.

There are a couple of interesting links about that issue and a possible workaround. A fix seems to be ongoing (in the -git package), but if I read correctly not working well yet.
Or try an Xorg session.

Ok, sorry, I didn’t need that much assistance on the forum, so I wasn’t used to post here. Here is my garuda-inxi :

Indeed, I am on Wayland, the only possibility I have on the connection page. How can I switch to Xorg ?

You can select it in the login screen.
I’m on Mokka, and there’s a small wheel on the bottom-right.
Change Plasma (Wayland) with x11.
If you’re on Dr460nized, it should be very similar.

IIRC, it is on the lower left side, but I use very old installations.

I don’t have a choice on my login screen. When I click on the wheel, there is only Plasma (Wayland)

It means you should probably install the plasma-x11-session package
