Help / code::blocks hangs at startup
« Last post by ChrisK on September 25, 2025, 03:20:40 am »Hi,
Firstly, I have been using code::blocks for years, thank you to all involved.
A few days ago, the IDE locked up on the splash screen at start up, and has been like that ever since. I would appriciate any pointers to help me fix this.
I am running Arch Linux & Plasma with all updates done.
If I do an strace, it always hangs at the same "futex" line...
I have tried deleting all config and also tried with the "--safe-mode" command line parameters, neither helped.

) Thanks for not having the registration cancelled after 3 wrong attempts!
