Xtreme Download Manager : Not Opening

Hi there!
I reinstalled Xtreme Download Manager Latest today but it is not opening on my Ubuntu 22.04 LTS .
See the full log below.

When I clicked the button(the button on bottom left corner) on login screen it shows me two options:

1. Ubuntu
2. Ubuntu on X.org
   I clicked the second one and logged in and Xtreme download manager was working fine.
   But when I relogged in with first option it doesn't start and show any gui.

It shows the following log after run.

$ xdman

I got the same problem on Fedora 40. Is there any fix ??

[choc1024]

the fix for this problem (currently) is to use a X11 session instead of wayland. Most systems should come with X11 by default, so log out, and see if there is any place with the option to choose either X11 (or Xorg) or Wayland.

I think this is because of the need to display a system tray icon and that has conflicts with wayland, but Im not sure

I got same problem on Fedora 40.
I kill xdm-app background task and re-open it then it works.
I think it need a tray icon.

Thank you. now it works

Until someone fixes the problem in wayland, use this trick.

1. Save the script below with the name of your choice. I went with xdm.sh

#!/bin/bash

xdman

sleep 1

pid=$(pgrep -f "xdm-app")

if [ "$pid" != "" ]; then
    kill -9 "$pid"
    xdman
fi

2. Make it executable

chmod xdm.sh

3. Change the Exec property of xdm-app.desktop to the following.

The .desktop file is usually found in /usr/share/applications

Exec=env GTK_USE_PORTAL=1 "/path/to/the/script/xdm.sh" %U

I just automated what #1237 (comment) said

I am using v8.029 btw!
