Anki "not responding" on startup

Anki Desktop
1

I have installed the last version 2.1.58 QT6 on Ubuntu 22.04

It is a new, fresh install, but hangs on startup when selecting profiles.

Al so I tried 2.1.58 QT 5, but I then the menu was not sowed (and I repaired database)

The command line shows this:

$ anki
Anki starting…
Initial setup…
Running with temporary Qt5 compatibility shims.
Run with DISABLE_QT5_COMPAT=1 to confirm compatibility with Qt6.
Preparing to run…
Wayland support is disabled by default due to bugs:

You can force it on with an env var: ANKI_WAYLAND=1

Any Idea?

Had been looking at this post trying to figure out what was going on since you tried both Qt6 and Qt5

with the recent screenshot, can only redirect for workarounds present in Blank Main Window - Anki Manual

While you are in the manual, try others solutions/workarounds from 2.3.2-2.3.8 (left side)

hopefully it can fix the issue, if not, we gotta wait for one of the devs or someone with experience on linux
