Hi,
I have recently upgraded my ubuntu distribution from 14.04 to 16.04 and reinstalled code::blocks with the solution proposed here: http://forums.codeblocks.org/index.php/topic,21130.msg144325.html#msg144325 (http://forums.codeblocks.org/index.php/topic,21130.msg144325.html#msg144325). I am now having real troubble with the graphical interface, it appears that after some time things don't get refreshed properly, my tabs freeze but I can still navigate to some extent (if I click on the right spot, i'll see the right tab in my editor but the view of the tabs themselves won't change, if I close a tab I won't see it but it probably disapear from the tab list even though it looks frozen). If I want to open a parameter window (eg Settings/Compiler) I'll just get the frame of the window and it won't close even if I click the cross, my option then is to kill the codeblocks process.
I also tried the version in Ubuntu repos but I have the same issues.
I was wondering if people had the same problems I am having and if somebody could help me figure where it could be coming from. I'm working with codeblocks all day and it's a real hassle having to restart it every fifteen minutes or so.
I hope my description makes sense, i'm sorry if it doesn't. Thanks for your help.
Best,
pons.
I believe Ubuntu 16.04 removes wx28 from its repositories, which might mean that C::B is being force to use wx30?
Hi,
I'm not sure that my problems are actually related to this topic, but I can't use Code::Blocks on Ubuntu anymore, because of graphical update issues.
I'm running Code::Blocks on Ubuntu 17.04 - 64 bits, and after a few seconds, the file tabs stop to update, then the projects tab, and sometimes the alert boxes for saving files (which locks up C::B). The "Compiler flags" panel in project build options is also blank.
Could somebody tell me whether there is a simple way to make it work again? I tried to recompile Code::Blocks, but it seems the procedure is far above my Ubuntu-related skills :-[
Really, it'd be a life saver. I had to postpone all my projects on Ubuntu because of this issue, and I'm really in a bad situation now.
Note: because CB 16.01 didn't work, I tried to install a more recent version from Damien Moore's ppa. I now run version "svn 0" built May 9, 2017, but still getting the same results.
Thanks in advance for any help, tip or advice
