I don't see any problem here

I have another Linux Mint Mate 22 amd 64 machine, and it displays the browser window page just fine! I don't have have any problem with any other apps on the Ubuntu Mate 22.04, it might be a problem of rendering the page, I hoped that you can suggest me any options (related to graphics) I should try to pin the problem. I disabled the OpenGL for media (thought I don't think it is using it).

I remember there are problems with proprietary nvidia drivers, to the point no webkitgtk-based browser work (even the gnome web). Switching to nouveau usually helps.

Thanks, I will try that and come back with information! Teo

Switched from nvidia-driver-470 (proprietary) to nouveau, reboot ... still the page is not visible.

Does gnome web (epiphany) work for you?

No, I cannot see any pages in epiphany, just the same as in Telegram Browser! Teo

Perhaps something is broken system-wide 🤷

Yes, something is wrong with the video driver!

I experimented on the same computer with Live versions of Linux Mint 22, Debian 12, both of them had the same problem! Finally, I tried the latest AVL MX Linux (for AudioVideo production) supported by Debian AND IT WORKED JUST FINE!

It seems the the live distribution has installed the nouveau driver and everything was OK, I can see the page in Telegram Browser. I'm leaving here the information about video driver and configuration from AVL MX Linux.

I'm closing this issue because obviouosly it's a driver/card problem, not from Telegram Desktop! @ilya-fedin thanks for your help! Teo
