I've used this PPK2 since December last year, and on another machine (Linux Manjaro) it worked fine for all this time.
Now I want to use on a lab machine running Linux Manjaro and the PPK software fails to connect to the PPK2. The error message I get is "Failed to start PPK". I've tried different USB ports and cables, but no difference.
In the logs I get:

I've tried to remove the directory in .config and .nrfconnect-apps and retried again from fresh installation, but no difference.
Versions:
- nRF connect v4.1.2
- nRF PPK v3.5.5
- JLink (on system from Arch AUR) v7.88k
- OS: Manjaro, all packages last updated yesterday.
- Linux kernel 5.15.106-1-MANJARO
Unfortunately I do not have access to a Windows machine. Unfortunately nRF connect fails to render a GUI (blank screen) inside a Windows 10 VM.
