[Bug] Cura 3.6.0 Hangs at launch

Posted · [Bug] Cura 3.6.0 Hangs at launch

I've been using Cura for a little while, 

 

I ran into an issue recently where the tool just stopped running. It would attempt to launch, show the splash image then an empty window that would just hang. 

 

Tried restarting, uninstalling, reinstalling, nothing worked. 

 

Luckily I found a way to fix it...

 

I have a laptop dock with 2 attached monitors. The only different thing (to my knowledge) was I used one of the attached monitors for the first time and it kept trying to launch on that secondary screen. Which It was having trouble doing.

 

I unlplugged the dock and used just with the screen on the laptop. And it opened up! 

 

I attached the log of a clean install of cura showing the symptom below if it helps resolve the bug permanently.

 

Hope that helps someone who might've had the same issue I did. It might be display related, unplug all secondary monitors and see if that helps. 

 

Cheers.

    Make sure Cura is on your primary screen when you close it. 

     

    This is the work-around I use right now but it's pretty limiting. Especially now that I have some reliable triggers that will cause it to crash on the other screen (on creation of a context menu, selecting between model view and layer view). 

     

    Whats the best way to get this in front of one of the developers to take a look at?

    It helps if you are a client that's about to buy 100 Ultimaker printers 😉 More seriously though, it has been an issue for a long time, and it never got enough traction to get it fixed unfortunately. I don't know who's the "product owner" of Cura these days. The product owner has a large say in what gets fixed and what will remain open for the foreseeable future because there is too much to do. You could chime in here: https://github.com/Ultimaker/Cura/issues/4427

     

    As another, more permanent workaround, it should be possible to write a plugin that forces Cura to always start on the primary screen. Thing is I already have 10 plugins to maintain and update between versions...

    Fair Enough!  I'm not currently in the market for 100 printers. 🙂

     

    I'll follow along with that github issue. 

     

    Thanks for the help,

      • S-Line Firmware 8.3.0 was released Nov. 20th on the "Latest" firmware branch.
        (Sorry, was out of office when this released)

        This update is for...
        All UltiMaker S series  
        New features
         
        Temperature status. During print preparation, the temperatures of the print cores and build plate will be shown on the display. This gives a better indication of the progress and remaining wait time. Save log files in paused state. It is now possible to save the printer's log files to USB if the currently active print job is paused. Previously, the Dump logs to USB option was only enabled if the printer was in idle state. Confirm print removal via Digital Factory. If the printer is connected to the Digital Factory, it is now possible to confirm the removal of a previous print job via the Digital Factory interface. This is useful in situations where the build plate is clear, but the operator forgot to select Confirm removal on the printer’s display. Visit this page for more information about this feature.
