Title: freecad cannot create a file or load one
Post by: badkey on 2024/08/05, 19:39:18
Hi,
I installed freecad 0.21.2+dfsg1-6 - I cannot create a new file nor open a file. The software immediately crashes.

I tried strace to find out more (missing libraries or so...) but nothing obvious. Can anybody help?

Best

Hi,

I think you should facing this a frustrating issue with Free CAD. you should try to One potential solution is to check if your graphics drivers are up to date as Free CAD relies heavily on OpenGL. Another approach is to try running Free CAD from the terminal and look for any error messages that might provide more insight. Additionally you might want to consider reinstalling the software or trying a different version to see if the issue persists. If the problem continues seeking help on the Free CAD forums or GitHub page might be beneficial as other users or developers might have encountered and resolved similar issues.

Thanks
