I am at my wit's end here. I'm having the strangest issue with Bitwig, whether installed via package or run through the extracted .deb file. I had been running it just fine since I setup Arch months ago, but all of a sudden the other day this issue started. It seems like it's starting up but then exits before showing the GUI. I see the window show up in my WM's bar, but it goes away before I see the actual UI. I've tried everything I can think of:
contacting support (they had me try flatpak, which also exhibited the same behavior
looking through pacman logs and removing packages I installed between the last time Bitwig worked and when this started
running from terminal to see log output
using the early access release
removing ~/.BitwigStudio, ~/Bitwig Studio, ~/.BitwigPosix, /dev/shm/bitwig-posix-{user}
downgrading to older versions (1.x worked, but 2.x starts breaking)
I use yabridge for VSTs via wine, I tried removing the wine prefix folder
reinstalling dependencies
changing between window managers & display servers (qtile with X, sway, plasma with X)
running with and without midi controllers plugged in
switching audio from pipewire back to pulse
There's probably more, I've tried a lot. I don't see any errors in the log output except for something around slf4j not being on class path. I That makes me think there could be log output I'm missing. I did try putting `slf4j-simple.jar` in
/opt/bitwig-studio/lib/cpand
/opt/bitwig-studio/binbut I still get that message. I'm pasting the output that I see below.
Does anyone have any ideas of what might be going on here? I'm at a complete loss.
Thanks!

Fixed it. Turns out I had a corrupt plugin in my `.vst3` directory.
Some detail for those running into a similar issue:
I decided to try watching my system log with
dmesg -w. Although I had done this previously, I apparently had missed something about a coredump. This led me to learning about
coredumpctland using that I found that it was crashing on a particular file (
libbase-file-notification-linux.so). A quick Google for this file brought me to a previous post, https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=271906. Lesson: I should have searched here first. All good now though.
