Sioyek has stopped working entirely, opens transparent window

Open Z-Seb opened this issue 8 months ago • 6 comments

Windows 10.

One day it just quit, doesn't open any file, just a transparent window. I have reinstalled it, I have tried opening it in administrator mode, I have tried opening it from powershell, no luck.

I don't have a remote idea of what information would be needed to solve this, if you do please tell me.

Can you move your shared.db and local.db files to another location and see if the issue persists? Also you can try the experimental build here and see if the issue happens there: https://github.com/ahrm/sioyek/releases/tag/sioyek3-alpha0.

The alpha has the same problem. Had no result moving shared.db and local.db, sioyek writes new ones in the same spot after starting.

What about removing last_document_path.txt?

sioyek says it's opening the tutorial, but it's another transparent window

Hmmm that's weird. I assume maybe there is something wrong with your opengl driver? Have you changed your gpu or updated its driver recently?

No, it's the same laptop i've been using for years, i believe it may be haunted
