Sparrow doesn’t start on nixOS (aarch64)

[theprivacydesigner]

I’m trying to run Sparrow on nixOS aarch64.
I’m getting this crash as soon as I launch Sparrow, though:

MESA: error: ZINK: failed to choose pdev
glx: failed to create drisw screen
No display detected. Use Sparrow Server on a headless (no display) system.

System

• Sparrow Wallet 2.0.0
• nixOS 24.05.6668

Details
NixOS offers a Sparrow package but it isn’t compatible with aarch64.
This means it’s necessary to rely on the generic Sparrow binary and nix-ld.
NixOS cannot run dynamically linked executables and requires instead to create a library path that only applies to Sparrow.
The difficult part is listing out all the libraries Sparrow might need.
So far I have:

• xorg.libX11
• libGL
• gtk4

Could you please help me figure out which other libraries Sparrow relies on?

Here are the dependencies listed in the .deb control file:

Depends: libasound2, libbsd0, libc6, libx11-6, libxau6, libxcb1, libxdmcp6, libxext6, libxi6, libxrender1, libxtst6, xdg-utils 

Probably, not all of these are actually used, but I haven't tried reducing the set yet as they seem fairly standard.

For the error you encountered, it may be worth prioritising software over hardware rendering with

_JAVA_OPTIONS=-Dprism.order=sw /opt/sparrow/bin/Sparrow

Thank you, Craig.
Let me try and report back.
