Hello,
My OS is Fedora Linux 35 with Gnome desktop on wayland.
I downloaded the 64bit linux IDE, extracted the file and run ./arduino from terminal, but the top toolbar is blank, although if I hover the left aria, I can enter the submenu but the font is missing. The only error I from terminal is:
'Gtk-Message: 12:06:19.062: Failed to load module "pk-gtk-module"'
Running Arduino via flatpak works fine. So, something's wrong with the font settings.
What might go wrong?
Thanks in advance...

Hi @AlexTheoto . It sounds like the same problem as reported here:
opened 04:08PM - 10 Jan 21 UTC
Type: Bug
OS: Linux
Component: IDE user interface
Arduino 1.8.13 (using your Software Download) was working ok until I did an Arch… system upgrade. See screenshot below. The options are there, but not visible. If I click on "Open", for example, and blindly follow down and click on something - a sketch will open.
I did a system downgrade (rollback) using the Arch Archive to the previous upgrade date, and the IDE worked correctly again. I don't know which package(s) caused the problem as there were 124 packages upgraded after a 3-week interval (remiss of me). So, I brought my system back up-to-date and tried something else:
In the IDE download folder there is a folder named 'java'. I renamed it to something different and launched the IDE - everything working ok. **This is my solution for now.**
Being curious, I also installed the Arch Arduino 1:1.8.13-2 package using pacman package manager . I note that the 'arduino' folder /usr/share/arduino does not contain a folder 'java'. I prefer to use your Arduino Software, so I will stay with that.
I have another machine running Archlinux, it behaved the same way as above.
You may not consider this to be an arduino.cc issue, but I just wanted to make you aware.
OS: Archlinux 64-bit
Desktop: LXQt
Java Environment: java-14-openjdk

Someone shared a workaround in that thread.
