Description nils.eilers 2022-09-20 21:32:28 CEST
PulseView doesn't start up, it shows a progress window which then disappears, opens a window without content and then hangs with 100% CPU consumption. Same under Manjaro.

The AppImage doesn't start either.

What console output do you get?

Does it start with the -D parameter?
Comment 2 nils.eilers 2022-09-20 21:46:12 CEST
No console output at all.

-D doesn't change anything.
Comment 3 Marcus Comstedt 2022-09-21 08:52:10 CEST
Which version of boost do you have, and what is your locale?
This sounds like a duplicate of bug 1773.

Yessss, LC_NUMERIC=en_GB.UTF-8 pulseview did the trick, so this really seems to be a duplicate of bug 1773. Many thanks for your help!
