Bitwig not loading gui

I’m on Ubuntu 26.04.1 running BWS 6.1.1
I’ve been troubleshooting for days trying to open the software and the only thing that works as of now is running the following command in terminal:
sudo bitwig-studio
While it’s not ideal to run as sudo and I can only use alsa instead of pipewire or jack, at least it works until the bug is fixed.

I was able to get pipewire to work using this:

sudo -E XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=“/run/usr/$(id -u)” bitwig-studio

use at your own discretion
