While trying to run Lem by using the AppImage version, (The latest version on august 13) I get an non-responding empty window and the following errormessages. I am running Arch Linux with the I3 window manager.
To note is that the path to WebKitWebProcess shown below isnt the same on my system. On my system the path is /usr/lib/webkit2gtk-4.1/ instead of /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/webkit2gtk-4.1/
