[SOLVED] Codeblocks not working

16 March 2025, 20:19:44

Hi, I have installed CodeBlocks but when it starts I can't interact with it, I can only select the compiler on the opening window but when the interface is loaded I can't select any icon or menu, if I start it in safe mode the menu and the icons are usable but I can't start a project because I can't see any kind of project to select and so I can't go on.

From the shell when I start it in normal mode I can see:

Code: [Select]

I'm using Lxqt as DE and runit.

Anyone have an idea of what's wrong?

Hi,
I feel very stupid, only now I have discovered a window requesting information about the spell checker, the window was covered by the main window of CB so I couldn't see it, only now I have seen it and once done with it CB works.

So thanks anyway.
