Can't run telegram-desktop anymore

I don't know when this started since there was a pretty good time I didn't use telegram-desktop but I noticed now that it doesn't open anymore (well, the process runs but nothing is shown).

Software version:

Quote
$ pacman -Q | grep telegram
telegram-desktop 2.1.13-1

Terminal output when I run the program:

Quote
$ telegram-desktop

(telegram-desktop:7564): Gtk-WARNING **: 16:23:22.812: Unable to locate theme engine in module_path: "murrine",

Some links I found on the internet that seems to be related but didn't solved:

https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/issues/14251
https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/65080

Any help on that? Thanks

Well, I'd use it if I could built it from AUR since I don't like installing bin packages from this repo. But building it give an kilometric error message (typical from c++ lol) that I don't want to handle now. But thanks for the information.

If you decide to install it, kotatogram-desktop-bin installs out of the box.

FWIW, most people in the Artix TG group use kotatogram-desktop.
On fresh instalation of Artix-Plasma-Runit, kotatogram-desktop also does not work

@0xf4b10 , if you are using the artix global theme, change that to breeze and tell us if telegram opens. I have the same issue with you and different theme solve the problem

Greetings,

If you wish to continue using the default Artix theme (or any other theme) and have an issue  with running/opening telegram-desktop, please run
Code: [Select]
 sudo pacman -S gtk-engines
That must solve the issue.

Cheers. :)
