Unable to start Komodo Edit X with Linux Debian

Support
1

Hi, today i installed Komodo Edit X. Installation was completed but i can’t start it. The “Let’s get started” box appears but there is no content in it and when i close it the program does not open…
We installed Komodo X on another Linux Debian PC there it worked but we couldn’t find out whats wrong.

@TopSecreT looks like there is an issue with the min height of the window.
Are you able to resize the window (clicking on the maximize button or grabbing the edge of the window and make it larger), so you can walk trough the start up settings?

4

Yes i can resize it but it still has no content so i didn’t add a pic of it. Y scroll is disabled, scrolling at x-axis shows nothing too

5

@TopSecreT can you maybe look inside your error log (pystderr.log for the file location look here), to see if there is a error causing this and report it back?

6

What DE are you using?

7

There’s no issue, this window has min-height. I’ve tested it.

Hello, i have the same problem, i try to install on Mac OSX 10.11.5.
The box “Let’s get started” is open, nothing inside, small height. I close it, but nothing appear and impossible to quit komodo edit. I can force it just width cmd+alt+esc.

Are you able to reproduce it with the nightly?

10

Yes, it works with the nightly for me !

I’ll try the nightly too

12

Could you share /home/dabluemel/.komodoedit/10.0/schemes/Meins2.ksf?

13

Sure but i can’t upload it via this post.
I opened it and the only thing in it is the string “version 39”

14

That’s very strange. You can remove it. It should be a color scheme, but it’s broken. Then try to run Komodo X (not nightly) again.

15

Yes i did this just at this moment but error is the same.

Could you rename your schemes folder to schemes.bak and try again? I think that there’s a bug with loading user schemes (when there’s an error, it shouldn’t be critical, but it seems to be a blocker for the wizard)

17

That’s it! Now it works. tyvm for your help

18

Aha, gotcha. Thank you, we’ve discovered a bug. Gonna file it! :slight_smile:

Note this issue is also addressed here:

http://docs.komodoide.com/Troubleshooting/Common-Komodo-X-Issues#common-komodo-x-issues_let-s-get-started-dialog-doesn-t-load

It has already been fixed in the latest nightly:
