I am running Guix System

Here is the output after running `spacefm` from my terminal

Setting a root editor in Preferences should remove this warning on
startup.   Otherwise commands run as root may present a security risk.

Are you using Wayland? If so then there is a workaround. Try launching
it like "WAYLAND_DISPLAY= spacefm" (notice the space). Spacefm doesn't
support Wayland natively.
A similar file manager that does support Wayland is Thunar.

This works! Thanks.

I'm all-set for a file manager. I just noticed this problem while
comparing several of them and their performance. I believe pcmanfm,
pcmanfm-qt, thunar, caja, and dolphin all worked okay on Wayland. At the
least they didn't crash on launch.

I guess it sounds like this is an upstream bug then. Not sure if this
should be closed or not. I'll leave that up to someone else to decide.

I agree; it's an upstream bug.

Thanks for the report!

Closing.
