Simulator freezes only when running unit tests (Ubuntu 24.04)

has anyone else faced this before and found a solution?

what i have tried so far:

  • use different sdks (for compiling and running the tests)
  • launch everything from the cli without vscode

this has started just recently. since switching to different sdks doesn't change anything i am inclined to believe the issue is on my end somewhere.

running an executable in the simulator without the -t flag works just fine...
