Not sure if anyone else got the same error but the page where the print bed is turned up blank, seems to be an issue with NVIDIA drivers.
sudo nano /usr/share/applications/BambuStudio.desktop
Add "LIBGL_ALWAYS_SOFTWARE=1" to the Exec= line just before the path to the app executable. It disables the GPU acceleration so it will be quite heavy on the CPU but it's the only fix I've found so far.
Latest version as of 6/14/25 needs patchelf dependency
patchelf is missing from .SRCINFO.
patchelf should be added to the dependencies
This latest update fixes the libOSMesa.so.8 issue, as well as this issue: https://github.com/bambulab/BambuStudio/issues/5753
It seems to be working fine if the libOSMesa.so.8 dependency is removed manually. The Nix package has a patch during build for that: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/commit/4a596a3c6e7427ec2e9f1285c5cca5fcc8f675c8. On a whim, I just tried removing the dependency using patchelf which seems to be working fine as well. patchelf --remove-needed libOSMesa.so.8 /opt/bambustudio-bin/bin/bambu-studio. No issues so far.
For anyone having issues with libOSMesa.so.8 and libglapi.so.0, I did the following:
I extracted libOSMesa.so.8 from the Flatpak version of BambuStudio and libglapi.so.0 from libglapi-mesa_22.0.1-1ubuntu2_amd64.deb
Copied both .so files into a custom directory such as /opt/bambustudio-libs.
Installed patchelf if not already installed and backed up the original bambu-studio binary.
Used patchelf to set the runtime library path (rpath) of the binary to point to custom directory - this is important as bin will not pick up path from command line variable - at least it didn't for me.
Launch bambustudio as normal - as others have noted you get a momentary black screen and then it all works fine. Of course you could just use the flatpak version but it became a little unstable for me after awhile hence I did it this way.
@gvtz For the mesa source it's a89e40440857e5dd354130806c168190601b7ff8 (tag mesa-25.0.5),
for the arch package it's 1806368859e22bcdfb621f1d1382783e86412c43 (tag 1:25.0.5-1).
But you can just use the archive (https://archive.archlinux.org) to download the version, no need to manually build it.
@jasger what is the commit hash for 1:25.0.5.1? I cant seem to find it.
Instead of downgrading or switching any packages I simply copied the now removed libOSMesa.so.8 and libglapi.so.0 into /usr/lib/. The initial splash screen did not display properly, but the software otherwise ran fine and was able to slice models and send print jobs.

I recommend a light GTK theme for BambuStudio, as I had problems with text being invisible with a dark GTK theme. You can do this with for example
GTK_THEME=Adwaita bambu-studio
