Signal Desktop quits (crashes?) when returning from suspend and /home is on NFS

[haraldhh]

Using a supported version?

• I have searched searched open and closed issues for duplicates.
• I am using Signal-Desktop as provided by the Signal team, not a 3rd-party package.

Overall summary

I'm running Ubuntu 24.04 and Signal Desktop 7.2.0. My /home is on NFS and I use suspend. When I return from suspend my Signal Desktop window has disappeared. I can't find anything relevant in ~/.xsession-errors or in ~/.config/Signal/Crash\ Reports.

Steps to reproduce

1. Have your Ubuntu with /home mounted from another computer
2. Start Signal Desktop
3. Suspend the computer
4. Return from suspend. Signal Desktop is gone

Expected result

Signal Desktop should be running after returning from suspend

Actual result

I would love to find error messages, please help me finding any relevant logs.

Just noticed that 7.3.0 is out, upgraded to that and it has the same behaviour.

Hey there! I'm sorry this is happening to you - can you try installing https://www.electronjs.org/fiddle then running a few different electron versions through suspend? That will help us track down where the issue is - in our code, or in Electron. Thanks!
