On a Kubuntu system, with a brand new installation of netbird, netbird-ui hangs on startup.

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Either start Netbird from the KDE launcher or netbird-ui from the CLI.
  2. Every two seconds, 2025-11-02T13:12:52-04:00 DEBG client/ui/network.go:376: Exit node menu already up to date is written to the system log or stderr, respectively.
  3. No UI ever appears.

Expected behavior

Some kind of window should be displayed, even if only to say the program is broken.

Are you using NetBird Cloud?

NetBird Cloud

NetBird version

0.59.11

Is any other VPN software installed?

No.

Debug output

netbird status -dA
