The file not found error is completely unrelated to the problem with the UI of the application. Can you please state more information about your system? Especially if you're running on X or Wayland and your graphics drivers, please. OK, issue with Wayland or the Enlightenment desktop. The window opens properly on XFCE which I am pretty sure runs on X.org. The program had been working properly until a few days ago (I have been using it quite a bit) and I assumed that the file error was the problem but there could have been an update in there. Sorry, I should have checked for GUI issues. Video driver is "radeon", chip is HD6450 Program works after update of 11/25. Thanks! It really doesn't work, now that https://fedoraproject.org/releases.json doesn't exist. Instead, it freezes or closes itself after selecting F26 manually downloaded image Probably related report https://ask.fedoraproject.org/en/question/99840/as-soon-as-i-start-fedora-media-writer-the-computer-locks-up/ mediawriter-4.1.0-1.fc24.x86_64 Well, it looks for https://getfedora.org/releases.json and the file does exist. Even it it doesn't exist, FMW doesn't freeze so the problem lies elsewhere. The ask.fedoraproject.org page you linked doesn't work. If it closes itself, it has probably crashed. Can you please use abrt to report a bug with the crash? Yes Martin, I tried but doesn't want to -- attached I'm on F24 x64, X11. After choosing .iso file (manually downloaded, checked SHA), it freezes the system, must reboot. I waited over 1 minute. This works now too: https://ask.fedoraproject.org/en/question/99840/as-soon-as-i-start-fedora-media-writer-the-computer-locks-up/ (I didn't report that) Created attachment 1296302 [details]
abrt doesn't want to report
Hmm, that's a shame. This way it'll be really hard to debug. Can you please at least specify which graphics card and driver are you using? Created attachment 1296315 [details]
lspci listing including video. No proprietary drivers, just plain F24 up to date.
No proprietary drivers and a nvidia graphics card -> nouveau. There's about 20 crashes reported about mediawriter using nouveau. There's nothing I can do about that, unfortunately. We just need to wait until it's fixed on nouveau's side. |
