Telegram-Desktop won't start

Hi All

Telegram has been working perfectly in Artix for at least a year, on my laptop. Suddenly today it all changed. Now it loads up for about two seconds & then the app disappears. Here is the error script when I use the command line :

"
$ telegram-desktop

(telegram-desktop:5148): lib_base-WARNING **: 06:53:17.416: Unfortunately, GTK integration conflicts with qgtk2 platformtheme and style. Therefore, QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME and QT_STYLE_OVERRIDE will be unset.
lib_base-Message: 06:53:17.419: This can be ignored by setting DESKTOP_APP_I_KNOW_ABOUT_GTK_INCOMPATIBILITY environment variable to any value, however, if qgtk2 theme or style is used, this will lead to a crash.
lib_base-Message: 06:53:17.419: GTK integration can be disabled by setting DESKTOP_APP_DISABLE_GTK_INTEGRATION to any value. Keep in mind that this will lead to some features being unavailable.

(telegram-desktop:5148): Telegram-WARNING **: 06:53:17.484: Application was built without embedded fonts, this may lead to font issues.

Help ! I am a relative Newbie to Linux.

Thanks in advance - - -

I can't reproduce on MATE, but you seem to run a Qt-based desktop. Post more info and also try to identify what update (if any) caused the problem.
In the meantime, open a terminal, issue
Code: [Select]
$ export DESKTOP_APP_I_KNOW_ABOUT_GTK_INCOMPATIBILITY=1
$ telegram-desktop
and see if it helps. If not, continue:
Code: [Select]
$ export DESKTOP_APP_DISABLE_GTK_INTEGRATION=1
$ telegram-desktop
and post results.
