   • Are you using the default Ubuntu 21.10 install, with its default desktop environment?
   • Is EDB installed from Ubuntu repositories or from other source?
   • What exactly does "failed to display" mean? Do you get a message box, an error message in the terminal, or does EDB seem to ignore the command?

   This doesn't look like a fix, more like a workaround. Native dialog is supposed to work fine too.

   No, if you install ubuntu 21.10 default desktop, and edb dump window -> save to file will always hung even stop the whole destop.
   but the ubuntu 18.x works well.

   I get a transparent window, rather than hung desktop, but yeah, Qt integration with Ubuntu desktop seems broken. A less intrusive "fix" may be to run EDB with XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP=kde environment variable:

   XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP=kde edb
   

   This will work even if you don't have any part of KDE installed, the effect will just be to avoid desktop integration.

   Its not working for me on latest kali rolling, it's transparent even with XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP=kde env set.
