New Project fails in Ubuntu/kUbuntu with Plasma Desktop

General

I am able to run Alchitry Labs 2.0.23-BETA just fine in Ubuntu 24.04 LTS, and I can create a new project. Unfortunately, using the Plasma desktop the program fails to create a new project, the New Project window is not starting, and the program freezes. All I can do is to terminate Alchitry Labs. This happens identically on multiple different computers. ChatGPT suggested to start with this command to have the program working in Plasma Desktop:

env XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP=GNOME JAVA_TOOL_OPTIONS="-Dprism.forceGPU=false -Dprism.order=sw" /usr/lib/alchitry/alchitry-labs/bin/alchitry-labs

This command from console works sometimes, but randomly and occasionally only. Is there somebody else with this problem? Any advice how to fix it will be appreciated.

The same issue was reported in this thread.

I haven’t tested things with plasma but I’ll get a VM setup this week to see if it’s something I can fix.

Are you running this in a VM or directly?

I was able to fire up a VM, reproduce it, and find a fix.

It’ll work in 2.0.24-BETA

Great, Thanks! I will keep an eye out for 2.0.24-BETA

Great job, thanks! Not only that I can use it in Plasma 6 now, but I am running the latest kUbuntu 24.10
Again, thanks!
