Installed a number of 'Modules' and FreeCAD0.19 won't start

Post by ajoeiam »

Greetings

Added in a bunch of modules (I'm still exploring!) into FreeCAD v0.19-19443 running on Debian testing (11).

Trying to restart after the loading I get:

Code: Select all

I have no idea where to find the 'log' files (have been looking!) and its not clear what I need to do to get FreeCAD running again.

TIA

Re: Installed a number of 'Modules' and FreeCAD0.19 won't start

Look in your $HOME/.FreeCAD folder. There is a Mod folder inside it, rename it and you should be able to start FreeCAD again.

P.S. After best to test one by one and report the issue to the module developer.

A 'not fun' way to find the problem but this did get FreeCAD running again - - - - thanks!

While you are at it could you please try the following:
With all installed workbenches so far and FreeCAD NOT starting (crashing) select random workbench.
Move its folder outside Mod folder. Try freeCAD again. If it still crashes repeat moving another workbench folder outside from Mod folder.Repeat until FreeCAD starts properly.
Close FreeCAD.
Restore all moved folders. Confirm FreeCAD crashes again.
Try the same with another set of folders.

We need o get better at this.
Or example GDT is unmaintained, it may be corrupting things

Looks like what I had here FreeCAD crashes when many WB are installed (was BIM and Dodo WB update causes crash)

This problem doesn't seem like that one. This problem seems to be due to loading old or unmaintained workbenches, like GDT, and also not installing the dependencies of certain workbenches like cv2, gdal, gdalconst.

Not the hijacked thread, but it would seem more and more necessary for the add-on manager to be able to report what prerequisites a certain add-on or external workbench needs and report that to the user prior to them downloading. I know that some github workbench README files explain this, but it may be good to highlight this somehow in the add-on manager user interface?
