[SOLVED] Some apps don't start since Plasma 5.3

After updating to Plasma 5.3 (wayland), I have problems running couple of apps.

signal-desktop requires --ozone-platform=x11, otherwise it works, but fails to show the UI. I know it works, by looking at logs, it even receives messages.

flatpak run us.zoom.Zoom hangs without any output given. I can kill it normally.

flatpak run org.zulip.Zulip hangs without any output given. Requires kill -9.

Both Zoom and Zulip hang on the same strace output:

924118 21:15:13.672926 openat(40, "keybase", O_RDONLY|O_NOFOLLOW|O_CLOEXEC|O_PATH) = 41
924118 21:15:13.672965 fstatfs(41, 

I'm sorry, I know this is very little information, but it's all I have. I guess the first question would be, how to even look for possible reasons in this situation?

One bonus tip, not sure if related: kscreenlocker_greet doesn't allow me to unlock, I have to use "loginctl unlock-session".
Everything else works fine and stable, including Electron apps.

Do you mean 6.3? cause Plasma is on 6.3 right now not 5.3

Sorry, of course your're right, "6.3.1.1-1".

Another one: flatpak run org.kde.dolphin

The same reason, stuck on:

1274287 10:43:13.395451 openat(37, "keybase", O_RDONLY|O_NOFOLLOW|O_CLOEXEC|O_PATH) = 40
1274287 10:43:13.395501 fstatfs(40,

Re: [SOLVED] Some apps don't start since Plasma 5.3

I've asked Perplexity R1, this is the solution:

keybase config set mountdir ~/.local/share/keybase/fs

I didn't think of it, because I run keybase on a different user (one laptop, multiple users with separate plasma sessions).

Still no idea why some apps try to use Keybase, not sure what's going one, but at least my problem is solved. The new AI era...
