I use Gnome. I did update pip as the first step to installing eric7.

How long did you leave eric7 running? For me it ran for a period of time before crashing. Mostly, it would crash while it was idle when I was reading the documentation to learn how to use it, but not always.

Hi Patrick,

I am sorry to hear, that you gave up. Nevertheless I installed a fresh openSUSE VirtualBox machine and got eric working in a Python virtual environment with one little issue not related to eric-ide. I had to update the 'pip' package of the environment because it was too old. Thereafter PyQt6 was installed without an issue and eric started and showed its initialization sequence.

Note: I installed openSUSE with the KDE Plasma desktop. Maybe that is different to your VM.

I did install eric7 into a virtual environment as directed.

I didn't check for error logs but the problem has been so consistent across multiple versions of OpenSuSE that I didn't care to investigate further. One thing that could be an issue is that I'm running Eric7 on VirtualBox virtual machines. Since I don't have problems with other applications I don't believe it's a VirtualBox issue but thought I would throw that out there.

If I get in the mood to test again I will look at the logs. But, for now I have uninstalled Eric7.

Hi Patrick,

I just tested eric7 in my openSUSE 15.5 VM and have to report, that it works as expected. Therefore I think, that your issue is somehow related to your installation.

1. Did you install eric into a Python virtual environment as recommended by the eric installation instructions?

2. Please start eric in terminal window and check for error messages. On some systems Qt6 is reporting a missing package (libxcb-cursor0) without that it will stop. The installation instruction of the eric web site contain such a hint.

3. Check the directory ~/.eric7 for the presence of an error log. If such a log exists, please send it to me.

4. Try to start eric in a terminal with "eric7_ide --debug" and send the debug log file to be found in "~/.eric7" to me.

Hope these steps will help to solve your issue and you are able to enjoy eric7.

Regards, Detlev

Just installed Eric7 onto an OpenSuSE Leap 15.5 machine. Eric7 keeps crashing. The first time I had to restart the application. Several times after that I lost my desktop session and had to log in again.

Eric6 had the same issue and I've tried installing it on several different releases of OpenSuSE. Don't know if it's just an OpenSuSE thing. I haven't tried to install it on any other OS.
