If I manually set DBusActivatable to false in the desktop file, the app launches normally.

Hi, @Ghoelian. How did you install it? by deb or zip file?

I installed the deb file on my Ubuntu 22.04, and it's working fine. Therefore, I suspect there might be a system issue related to the D-Bus service.

I can reproduce this issue on a fresh Kubuntu 22.04 install as well, so might have something to do with KDE Plasma in particular.

@Ghoelian Do you know whether this problem still occurs with the current release?
