@nktnet thank you, i added env to exec and it should work now from cli.

Nothing was opening for me (Wayland/Hyprland) - @verte.x comment helps.

Had to set the env: SKIKO_RENDER_API=SOFTWARE

Making the change permanent for the .desktop file (e.g. when opening with an app launcher like wofi)

  1. Copy the desktop file to ~/.local/share/applications
cp /usr/share/applications/com.abdownloadmanager.desktop ~/.local/share/applications/com.abdownloadmanager.desktop
  1. Edit the EXEC command in ~/.local/share/applications/com.abdownloadmanager.desktop to be:
Exec=env SKIKO_RENDER_API=SOFTWARE ABDownloadManager

@Ataraxy sorry for late response. i fix it and you can run the app from CLI.

Please put a symlink in /usr/bin so that this can be run easily from the CLI.

This is my package build . ZorinArch deleted his abdownloadmanager-bin pkg and filed for deletion on mine. I go out for one week and .... It's fine just keep this updated.

If you are facing the black window problem (like I did), here is a solution for others experiencing the same issue:

Close the app if it is currently open.

Open the Application Menu (the one you access with the Meta key).

Find the program, right-click on it, and select “Edit Application”.

In the KDE Menu Editor, add the environment variable SKIKO_RENDER_API=SOFTWARE in the environment variables section.

Click save, and you’re all set!
