Work perfectly for me. But recall some people had issues. It’s often graphic driver related. You found the right group! You may get more advise with your own topic.
You could execute it from the command-line:
- Open a command prompt (press Win + R, type
cmd, press Enter) - Change to the directory where it is installed (on my system, it’s at
C:\Program Files\darktable\bin).
– Type:c:(or whatever drive you installed darktable on) and press Enter
– Typecd \Program Files\darktable\bin - Launch darktable with full diagnostic logging. Type
darktable -d alland press Enter.
You will find a file called darktable-log.txt (substitute your home directory path) has been created:
C:\Users\your_user\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\INetCache\darktable\darktable-log.txt
Attach that file to a response here.
Once darktable gets stuck, close it.

I noticed your OpenCL seems to be off at the preference settings (but it should not matter for this issue).
I also noticed this error:
36,149997 LUA ERROR : cannot open C:\Users\User\AppData\Local\darktable\luarc: No such file or directory
Yes. I’ve switched OpenCL off while running with 3.6.1 because i suspected OpenCL to be the reason for the problem.
There is a file called “luarc” in C:\Program Files\darktable\share\darktable
I’ve copied this file now to C:\Users\User\AppData\Local\darktable but that didn’t change anything. Darktable 3.8 still won’t run
I’m not sure how to help you with these issues. I would start by renaming your configuration file to .old and letting the system start a new one when you install 3.8. I’m not sure if your previous settings are causing problems (eg. like looking for lua).
You can also wait to see if someone else has any other ideas.
Yes.
Several times i had deleted all darktable related files from my PC and started a new installation of darktable 3.8.
OK. I don’t see anything critical, but I’m not one of the developers. Maybe opening a new topic would be useful, as the generic “3.8.0 released” topic may not draw much attention.
As for your log contents, I see the “Pango-CRITICAL” messages, but here is someone that also has them, and it appeared to me that their darktable was functioning properly:
I think the
36,149997 LUA ERROR : cannot open C:\Users\User\AppData\Local\darktable\luarc: No such file or directory
line is harmless (that file would exist if you installed Lua plugins, but those are not essential to using darktable).
So, please open a new topic, maybe others will be able to help more. Attach your log there, too.
Are you deleting the ones in the app data/local/darktable?
@MichaJo to follow up on what g-man has been suggesting…
try to run DT with a modified command line… If you are running it from a shortcut then right click select properties and modify the command line to add --configdir “path” where I have typed path enter the path to a new empty folder…now when you run DT it will start from fresh config files…if this is successful or not may provide some more information…
Yes, that’s what i did.
I did so. No success.
Thanks to all for your help. I’ve opened a new topic now.
Regards
Michael
I’m in a similar boat with debian 11 bullseye.
?? Which repo?? Does it also include the -dev?
Are there multiple sources?
Thanks
The Open Suse Build system repo, which is linked from the install page of the website.
Yes, exiv2 from your distro and from OBS. You want it from OBS.
Dear, my version is 13.10.6, would you have an old version of Darktable?
thanks
There is no such version (13.10.6) of darktable.
Perhaps that’s a version Mac OS. Are you looking for a build of darktable that runs on Mac OS 10.13.6 High Sierra?
