Blank screen when opening app

[Grant12311]

Steps to reproduce

1. Open Element Desktop.
2. See blank white screen.

Outcome

What did you expect?

For the app to display normally.

What happened instead?

All I see is a blank white screen. It turns black in portions sometimes when resized. My mouse still turns into a hand when hovering over where buttons should be. Below is a small sample of the seemingly endless terminal output I see if I run the app from the terminal. It would seem to me like the shaders aren't compiling, breaking the rendering but keeping at least parts of the general app logic functional.

Operating system

Ubuntu 22.04

Application version

1.11.35

How did you install the app?

Offical install instructions on the site. Many moths ago. It just broke today.

Homeserver

matrix.org

Will you send logs?

No

[Grant12311]

I didn't send logs because I don't know how or if it's even possible with the app unusable.
