CodeBlocks 25.03 hangs at startup on Tumbleweed

pedroSMS · October 30, 2025, 10:37am

Hi all,

I have using CodeBlocks for many years on Tumbleweed (and other systems). When I start it a few days ago it hung after loading the splash screen (“Not responding”). I haven’t used it for a couple of months, so, I don’t know when this started. There would been several zypper dup operations in that time…

I have uninstalled it and re-installed, from a few different vendors but no change. It doesn’t complain about anything while installing.

I have read a few things about missing dependencies on install and building. I don’t know if this the same issue.

If anyone knows how to fix this, that would be great.

Kind regards
Pedro

Any terminal output?
Installation source?
All home repos and even the experimental TW repo on OBS show that the build can’t start: unresolvable dependencies. So how and from where did you install?

I have installed codeblocks on Tumbleweed and it starts.

After this I have installed codeblocks-contrib and that needs garmin-server so I added the Repo
https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:/libraries:/c_c++/openSUSE_Factory/
and install code-blocks-contrib without problems.

But now, codeblock is not starting anymore…

After deinstalling codeblocks-contrib codeblock is starting once more…

So it is on you.

That should have been “zypper lr -d”. I’m pretty sure the “m” was a typo.
