Hi, and thanks for taking time to report this. > It may be relevant that many of my photos are on a removable > disk that is not connected now.
Possibly, although the expected behaviour is that the application will mark the offline photographs as 'missing' and continue to run normally. With this in mind, can you try the following command line: SHOTWELL_LOG=1 gdb shotwell 2>&1 | tee shotwell.gdb ...and at the (gdb) prompt, type run ...and attach the resulting shotwell.gdb? (Given that this seems to be a hang rather than a hard crash, you may want to pick some arbitrary amount of time for it to run, then manually kill it.) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/880031 Title: Shotwell hangs on starting and does not open a window To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/shotwell/+bug/880031/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
