easytag not starting - how to debug?

Since recently, easytag stopped working. I have not been using it for quite some time, and therefore cannot tell whether it is connected to some updated package.

I tried starting it from the shell to check for errors, but the command simply executes and then sits there. Nothing happens, no errors are thrown, and no easytag window opens.

Any ideas how I could debug this? It does not throw any errors at all so I have no clue where to start, and at some point I simply kill the process with Ctrl-C.

Works fine here using 2.1.8-2

Have you tried {moving,deleting} .easytag?

Works fine here as well. try to move the the config-data of easytag somewhere, i.e.

mv ~/.easytag ~/.easytag_backup

and then try to start it again.
Ops ... didn't see that jason already proposed that wink

Re: easytag not starting - how to debug?

Moving .easytag/ didn't help. And neither did removing .config/easytag. easytag still didn't want to start.

I tried installing [AUR]/easytag-git afterwards, and the -git version starts right away without issues. No idea what's going on. For what it's worth - I tried getting rid of easytag{,-git} entirely and just reinstalling easytag - still nothing.

Only easytag-git works for now, so I am happy with that.

I have the same issue and can confirm - starting easytag in a terminal didn't produce any error messages though. The git version works fine here too (running arch 64bit with a minimal KDE desktop).

Re: easytag not starting - how to debug?

On my machine (kde, x88_64) both repo package and AUR git version won't start, no error messages in terminal sad I removed all 'find ~ -name \*easytag\*' before testing each version, no effect.

Have anyone found a workaround?
