FreeCAD does not start anymore (main window is not shown?)

[JNKL]

The small startup screen and loading messages are shown but the window does not show up.

After "export -n SESSION_MANAGER" the last Qt-message vanished but window still doesn't show up.

System is default Gnome-install of Debian 12, up-to-date.

[hfiguiere]

what GPU / driver?

[JNKL]

Thinkpad T480/Intel UHD 620

[hfiguiere]

I have this 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation HD Graphics 620 (rev 02)

So it's possibly not the problem.

[JNKL]

Do you also get
Gtk-Message: 19:28:04.402: Failed to load module "canberra-gtk-module"
when running
flatpak -v run org.freecadweb.FreeCAD?

[hfiguiere]

these message are stupidity from the stack, they appear everywhere.

[JNKL]

Any idea how debug this problem?

flatpak repair did not solve the problem.

flatpak -v run --command=sh --devel org.freecadweb.FreeCAD exits after some seconds as well. That's strange, right?

[hfiguiere]

if that happen, then there is something else. Anything in journalctl -r ?

[📦 org.freecadweb.FreeCAD ~]$ USER@HOSTNAME:~$

gives just

Feb 27 18:40:13 HOSTNAME systemd[2029]: Started app-flatpak-org.freecadweb.FreeCAD-4114.scope.
Feb 27 18:40:11 HOSTNAME systemd[2029]: Started vte-spawn-6eae9caa-8b02-4cd9-b2ed-2613685061a1.scope - VTE child process 4111 launched by gnome-terminal-server process 3075.

The command just exits without any user interaction. Any idea?

[JNKL]

So I think I solved the problem.
FreeCAD and FreeCAD --devel exited with exit code 137, which means it received SIGKILL.

Giving it the permission to run in background solved the problem.

Don't know what the underlying problem is.

[adrianinsaval]

this sounds like a portal issue rather than a freecad issue, ok to close?

or do we need to do something on our end to give freecad background permission by default @hfiguiere ?

[JNKL]

Yes. I think it can be closed. Don't know how I messed this up. Sorry and thank you!
