On my Debian testing installation, Rawtherapee - no matter whether installed from Debian’s package repository, as the stable AppImage or as the nightly development Appimage, renders as follows:
…i.e. as a blank interface without any text. Could this be caused by a missing font?
Hello, have a look in Preferences, tab General, Default font and try to choose another font – if you can see anything at all there!
I have never seen this problem for other users with RawTherapee.
This is the font configuration in .config/RawTherapee/options:
FontFamily=default
FontSize=10
CPFontFamily=default
CPFontSize=8
I don’t think this is the problem.
Temporarily removing RawTherapee’s config files doesn’t solve the problem either.
Could it be a problem caused by Wayland and Nvidia’s driver 580.105? The issue occurred after Gnome 59 forced me to switch from X11 to Wayland.
Update: It’s definitely a Wayland problem. I just logged into an X11/Xorg session on the same system (with the same Nvidia drivers etc.etc.), and RawTherapee worked as it should.
I am experiencing the same exact behavior of RawThereapee on Manjaro Sway. Interestingly, Hyprland, on the same machine, seems to work with RawTherapee. I wonder whether this is a problem with configuration of Xwayland. For context, entangle photo manager, installed from flatpak, also has serious issues, on Manjaro Sway. I have not exercised these sufficiently on Hyprland to say whether everything is swell. At the least, this suggests that Wayland in itself is not necessarily the issue.
It seems likely the issues I reported are connected with the HiDPI of the display. Interestingly, I have stumbled upon a package on AUR in Manjaro/Arch Linux that includes a patch for xwayland for HiDPI, and a second patch:
Two other packages are available: wlroots0.18-hidpi-xpropm and wlroots0.19-hidpi-xprop, as well as a git, version 0.20.
I have not yet tested these.
I wanted to report that installing these packaged did not help, in my case. Full disclosure, this is beyond my skill level.
Tried RT built from latest sources on Fedora 43 with Gnome on Wayland - no problems.
