Not working in Ubuntu 24.04 LTS

[poon64]

Not working in Ubuntu 24.04 After installing it and starting it, it never completely runs, but it makes everything lock up untill I kills it. I have removed it and installed it a couple of times with the same result. I can't do anything else after I started it, everything is very slow, so I have to go to the terminal to kill it to get back the control of the sytem. I have left it running for hours to see if that makes any difference, but it's not working. I was not any problem with Ubuntu 22.04, bit it's not working with 24.04. I have a completely fresh installation of Ubuntu 24.04 and I tried to install it from the app center and also with snap from the terminal.

Had the same issue on 24.04, fix for this issue actually is downgrading the kernel to 6.7.x not sure why kernel 6.8.x creating this issue on noble with wine snaps though the same kernel version doesn't have any issues on jammy.

I had xanmod kernel and also tested the stock kernel both had the same issues with wine snaps.

I uninstalled the Notepad++ that I had problems with and then I installed wine with apt "sudo apt install wine" I downloaded the latest Notepad++, then I installed Notepad++ trough wine "wine npp.8.6.5.Installer.x64.exe" This way of installing was working, no problems at all. the version of Notepadd++ is the same as the one causing problems.

I see this when trying to run it from the terminal: paulog@paulo-81y4:~$ notepad-plus-plus Initialising Wine.. Gtk-Message: 17:47:53.415: Failed to load module "window-decorations-gtk-module" Gtk-Message: 17:47:53.415: Failed to load module "colorreload-gtk-module" Installing application..

@psebastian21 that is related to #41 which is fixed already.

@poon64 can not reproduce that issue on 24.04 fresh install.

Hello @mmtrt First of all, thank you for your working. :)

By the way, I have same issue. But i have found something weired. Could you check this point?

I am using Ubuntu 22.04 LTS with Xorg. (not wayland) and the kernel was updated to 6.8.0 from 6.5.0 then notepad-plus-plus was executing extremly slow

at that time, I saw the Xorg is taking high CPU usage (it was still taking about 100% til showing notepad-plus-plus UI) and when i input some text in editor, notepad-plus-plus is extreamly slow again with high CPU usage (Xorg - taking about 100% again)

Ubuntu

$ lsb_release -a

No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description: Ubuntu 22.04.4 LTS
Release: 22.04
Codename: jammy

Kernel

$ uname -r
6.8.0-40-generic

CPU useage after executing notepad-plus-plus

$ top

1137 syslog 20 0 222456 6016 4480 S 0.3 0.0 0:00.17 rsyslogd

if we can run gnome-shell on wayland instead of Xorg this issue is not happened.

so i think the replication path is this.

Ubuntu 22.04
Kernel 6.8.0
gnome-shell is running with Xorg
Install notepad-plus-plus using snap (software center)
and then execute notepad-plus-plus

Could you check this? and share me how to fix this? :)

Thank you

Same issue here, just locks down. My ubuntu 24.04 is a fresh install:

lsb_release -a
No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID:	Ubuntu
Description:	Ubuntu 24.04.1 LTS
Release:	24.04
Codename:	noble

uname -r
6.8.0-41-generic

Before I threw my computer through the window ;), I saw the the process XORG using 100% of the CPU.
