Freezes when starting in Linux Kubuntu [Solved - Kubuntu issue]

[dietzi678]

Hello

Distro: Kubuntu 24.04.3 LTS
Desktop: KDE Plasma v: 5.27.12
Kernel: 6.14.0-33-generic
Display: x11
Server: X.Org v: 21.1.11
XnViewMP 1.9.5

I start XnViewMP (deb package) with a new configuration via the console and close it immediately without using it.

I start it again via the console, and I can open any folder and view the images via the folder sidebar, but all I see in the console are additional BLOB messages. When exiting the program:

 BookmarkNode::~BookmarkNode : 0x10b83960

When restarting via the console, XnViewMP freezes immediately and cannot be operated. There are no useful additional messages in the console.

The other installation options behave in the same way. To test it, I installed Kubuntu in Virtualbox, and XnViewMP works without any problems there. Can anyone make sense of this?

Thanks in advance to everyone who wants to rack their brains over my problem.

Please try to start

Restart XnViewMP with a new configuration

[xnview]

The problem can be considered solved or obsolete.
