Author: minholiCreated Sep 10, 2026Updated Sep 10, 2026
Environment
- Hydra version: 4.1.3
- Electron version: 40.9.3
- OS: Omarchy / Arch Linux
- Installation: AppImage
- Desktop: Hyprland/Wayland
Problem
Hydra’s bundled chrome_crashpad_handler repeatedly crashes with SIGBUS during shutdown.
The crash occurred four times on the same day:
- 19:40:39
- 22:20:46
- 22:36:35
- 22:41:30
Each crash had:
- Signal: SIGBUS
- Code: BUS_ADRERR
- Identical Crashpad binary offsets
- The temporary Hydra AppImage mount was unmounted immediately before the crash
Representative stack:
chrome_crashpad_handler + 0x63490
chrome_crashpad_handler + 0x75785
chrome_crashpad_handler + 0x41ec7
libc.so.6
__libc_start_main
chrome_crashpad_handler + 0x374caThe main Hydra/Chromium process appears to exit normally. Only the Crashpad handler crashes. No OOM, filesystem, NVMe, or Btrfs errors were present.
Expected behavior
Hydra and its Crashpad handler should shut down without crashing when the AppImage mount is removed.
Additional information
The Crashpad database is located at:
~/.config/hydralauncher/CrashpadThe crash is reproducible across multiple Hydra launches. No user data loss was observed.
