Same issue for me on fresh install of Ubuntu 24.04

Hmm. Not something I can replicate. Wonder if it's either an Intel or Nvidia issue? I exclusive run on AMD. But probably best to report it directly to Ulauncher: https://github.com/Ulauncher/Ulauncher.

@johnoscott What hardware are you on?

[johnoscott]

I have an nVidia GPU also

check if it's a wayland xorg thing. I think it's by default configured to startup using wayland.

[dhh]

Wayland is the default on 24.04. And that works fine with AMD and Ulauncher. Seems like there's something particular conflict between Ulauncher and Nvidia.
