Hello !
I had a working install of Blender 4.1.0 on my ubuntu 22.04 machine, and it suddenly stopped working. When starting Blender, either by clicking its icon or from the terminal, the blender icon shows on the dock, but the GUI never shows.
I tried to install a few different versions from snap
(3.6, 4.0, 4.1, 4.2) and from the blender.org download section, and got the same behavior everytime.
Here’s the output from blender --debug --debug-all --debug-gpu
:
Switching to fully guarded memory allocator.

I managed to get it working once, by deleting the preference folders at ~/.config/blender/
and rebooting, but the no GUI bug is here again, and deleting these files don’t seem to do the trick anymore.
Any help is greatly appreciated !
