Description

### Kernel

Linux 6.19.6-2-cachyos

### Desktop Environment / Window Manager

KDE Plasma

### CPU

Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-8250U

### GPU / Driver

Intel UHD Graphics 620 @ 1.10 GHz [Integrated]

### Description

After a recent system update on CachyOS (KDE Plasma), Kodi fails to start properly. While the application icon appears in the Task Manager/Panel, the actual window remains empty or transparent. The workspace does not render the Kodi interface; instead, it appears to "vibrate" or flicker slightly, making it impossible to capture a meaningful screenshot of the issue.

### **Version Information**

❯ kodi --version
Kodi Media Center 21.3 (21.3.0) Git:20260226-nogitfound
Copyright (C) 2005-2025 Team Kodi - http://kodi.tv

```

1. Update CachyOS to the latest packages.
2. Power off/Reboot the system.
3. Attempt to launch Kodi.
