Describe the bug

Previous versions of warp would occasionally hang my system causing a hard power off reset. Newest version crashes window manager causing a reboot.

The system is a Macbook pro 10.1 runnig Kubuntu 23.10 with the nouveau video driver. That driver has proven to be problematic at times.

To reproduce

Starting warp-terminal, my display manager crashes and I'm presented with login screen.

Expected behavior

A terminal window should open.

Additional context

X11, issue is graphical but if I run the command provided it hangs my system requiring a power off reset.

Does this block you from using Warp daily?

Yes, this issue prevents me from using Warp daily.

Is this a Warp specific issue? (i.e. does it happen in Terminal, iTerm, Kitty, etc.)

Yes, this I confirmed this only happens in Warp, not other terminals.

Research direction

Reproduce the reported warp-terminal launch on Kubuntu 23.10 under X11 with the nouveau driver; first verify whether the display manager crash occurs and collect relevant system and window-manager logs. Done means Warp opens a terminal without hanging the system or crashing the window manager, with behavior compared against the other terminals noted in the report.
