nrf connect desktop app blank screen

I have read the related issues, none of them provided a solution for me. There was one answer which suggested to downgraded libstdc++6 as a solution without giving any specific instructions on how to do that, what version etc.

So, the 'Bluetooth low energy app' is suddenly starting with blank screen after trying to flash the firmware at the start. Other apps work fine (e.g. power profiler).

I am on Ubuntu 22.04.2 LTS 64bit using nrfconnect-4.1.2-x86_64.AppImage, nrf-command-line-tools_10.23.0_amd64.deb

I would like to use the app to perform dfu upgrades. I also tried that with nrfutil (nrfutil 7.1.0 (c86ddc2 2022-11-29)):

nrfutil device program --firmware dfu_mtk_v0.11.3_7b555.zip --serial-number 1050312843

gorazd@gorazd-Victus-by-HP-Laptop-16-e0xxx:~/Programs/nrf-rust/firmware$ nrfutil device program --firmware dfu_mtk_v0.11.3_7b555.zip --serial-number 1050312843
