appimage where are log files

[SvenGoord]

hello, I get at start.

No module named "core" occurred in /home/user/.FreeCAD/Mod/Reporting/InitGui.py

then tell me look in log file. I not found log file. wiki says start with --write-log but freecad not installed only appimage.

how I to know what is wrong, every time before I load any part.

Hard to say whats wrong here.


The only occurence of the word "core" is in "QtCore" in qtutils.py.
There is no import of a "core" module in the reporting workbench.

I think the problem must be somewhere else. Maybe some python conflicts on your system?

Thank you I not have path /home/user/.FreeCAD/Mod/Reporting/

Does appimage make logs? Where to find them?

Every time I start it say "please look in the log ......" but goes away to quick to read all of message.

Will a new install of Mint be fix?

Does appimage make logs? Where to find them?

It's the same as with the standard install, running FreeCAD:

Code: Select all

./FreeCAD.AppImage -l

Should create a log:

Code: Select all

$HOME/.FreeCAD/FreeCAD.log

It's the same as with the standard install, running FreeCAD:

ok, it work, why wiki say use --write-log
crazy

why wiki say use --write-log

Using -l or --write-log option, both should do the same thing.

Does it make sense to start the appimage with logs always enabled?

totally makes sense

In general the AppImage should try to behave the same, as the standard install. Therefore if the log file should be written by default, that is something FreeCAD should do by default. Otherwise such things only add to the confusion.
