Description

  • I am on the latest Hyper.app version
  • I have searched the issues of this repo and believe that this is not a duplicate
  • OS version and name: Ubuntu 16.04.3 LTS on VirtualBox
  • Hyper.app version: 1.4.3
  • Link of a Gist with the contents of your .hyper.js: N/A
  • Relevant information from devtools (CMD+ALT+I on Mac OS, CTRL+SHIFT+I elsewhere): N/A
  • The issue is reproducible in vanilla Hyper.app: Yes

Issue

Opening hyper results in a black screen which freezes the machine (which is why I can't get any relevant info from the devtools). I have to do a hard shutoff of the VM. I installed hyper via the .deb and .AppImage files, both of which result in the same issue.

Research direction

Start by reproducing Hyper.app 1.4.3 on Ubuntu 16.04.3 LTS in VirtualBox, testing both the .deb and .AppImage installations. Done means Hyper opens without displaying a black screen or freezing the virtual machine.
