After upgrading to ubuntu 24.04 beta, alacritty fails with the following message on startup:

thread 'main' panicked at 'called `Option::unwrap()` on a `None` value', /usr/share/cargo/registry/glutin-0.30.9/src/api/egl/surface.rs:246:44

Test Case
---------
Install alacritty on Ubuntu Desktop
Run alacritty
Run
echo $XDG_SESSION_TYPE
to verify you are using a Wayland session. The bug reported here does not affect Xorg sessions.

The bug seems to manifest only on wayland, with xorg it works.

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

I also have this problem after updating to 24.04. Would it be possible to update to alacritty to version 0.13.2 as part of a fix?

[Jeremy Bícha (jbicha)]

I successfully completed the test case with alacritty 0.13.2-1ubuntu1 on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS.

[Eustaquio Rangel (eustaquiorangel)]

Just updated and got the same error.

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

This bug was fixed in the package rust-alacritty - 0.13.2-1ubuntu1
