<p>Hi Patrick,</p>
<p>I created an openSUSE 15.5 virtual machine with the Gnome desktop and installed eric in a Python virtual environment. During this process I made these observations, which might be related to your issue.</p>
<ol>
<li>openSUSE Leap 15.5 installs an outdated Python version by default (3.6.x).</li>
<li>Due to the fact, that Python 3.6 and 3.7 are no longer supported by eric-ide, the pip installation command for eric-ide installs an outdated version (22.3 dated March 2022, i.e. about two years old).</li>
<li>Due to the same fact, an outdated version of PyQt6 and Qt6 got installed.</li>
</ol>
<p>Once I noticed that, I installed Python 3.11 using yast and recreated the Python virtual environment using that version. Installing eric-ide now installed the latest eric-ide version (24.2.1) together with PyQt6 6.6.1 and Qt6 6.6.1. The only remaining issue with this is, that Qt requires q newer SSL library than is installed by default. That can be solved by installing 'libopenssl_3' using yast.</p>
<p>I hope these findings and correction steps will help you solve your issue.</p>
<p>Regards,
Detlev

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.<br>

<p>Hi Patrick,</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>Note: I installed openSUSE with the KDE Plasma desktop. Maybe that is different to your VM.</p>
<p>Regards,
Detlev

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

<p>Hi Patrick,</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>1. Did you install eric into a Python virtual environment as recommended by the eric installation instructions?</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>3. Check the directory ~/.eric7 for the presence of an error log. If such a log exists, please send it to me.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>Hope these steps will help to solve your issue and you are able to enjoy eric7.</p>
<p>Regards,
Detlev

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.<br>
