Hah, this helped:

./fether-0.3.1-x86_64.AppImage --no-sandbox

Initially it still caused an error ... but then not anymore when I had started parity --light before.

Now the next issue ... isn't there a way to RESIZE that window?

[drandreaskrueger]

while this workaround for v0.3.1

./fether-0.3.1-x86_64.AppImage_ALT --no-sandbox

worked ... it doesn't anymore for v0.4.2:

./Parity-Fether-0.4.2.AppImage --no-sandbox
i18next: languageChanged en
i18next: initialized {
  debug: true,
...}
error: unknown option `--no-sandbox'

any hints? Thanks.

[drandreaskrueger]

tried another way (avoiding the possibly malformed AppImage):

sudo gdebi fether_0.4.2_amd64.deb
which fether 
/usr/bin/fether

/usr/bin/fether

ls /opt/Parity\ Fether/chrome-sandbox -la

one error less, but still:

Trace/breakpoint trap

by the way, the new version 0.4.2 has made it worse over version 0.3.1 because this CLI switch stopped working: #573 (comment)

dunno if versions matter ...?

nodejs --version; npm --version; uname -a
v10.17.0
6.13.0
Linux ... 4.19.0-6-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 4.19.67-2+deb10u2 (2019-11-11) x86_64 GNU/Linux

it is debian, but now version 10 "buster"

Alright, giving up, going back to my workaround:

./fether-0.3.1-x86_64.AppImage --no-sandbox

Questions: (a) is there any known security issue with that version 0.3.1, or am I save when I continue to use that ? or: (b) which newer fether version would also still work with that switch --no-sandbox? and (c) do you have any idea what could cause this problem, and how to fix it, for a version 0.4.3 ?

Thanks a lot.

Tried with the newest version, same error:
