exact same problem as topic https://itch.io/t/1259697/itchio-linux-app-wont-open-after-installation

I also have no virus scanner.

Lubuntu 22.04 LTS
kernel 5.15.0-47-generic
Nvidia RTX 3070
Intel i7-8700T

I immediatly tried to run it in the terminal with ./itch & to show that it exits out, right after starting.

all I see is the twitch window at the center of my second monitor for about 1 sec, and then it exits.

Console output:

tim@Tim-Lubuntu:~/.itch$ ./itch &

Here's qps processlist filtered by "itch".


I'm having the same issue under Pop!_OS 22.04 LTS. I get more or less the same debug output and then it launches a new window that's just a gray box and then it crashes before rendering anything.
