[OSX] Also Stuck on "Initializing User Interface"

SGans · 01-22-2016, 02:13 AM

I'm on a Mac OS 10.9.5. Version 2.49 will not start on my computer. From the first download of it, it stuck on the splash screen. After many steps of troubleshooting, I got past the Apple verification, and it will sit for hours on "Initializing User Interface". I can force quit it, but can not quit it regularly.

Kovid Goyal's email to me said to request the calibre-debug (gave me the full command) in terminal to get a bug report. Terminal gives me the error that there's no such file or directory - although when I open the app package, I can clearly see that the calibre-debug-g IS, in fact in the package! I can not get an error report on this, and Console reports nothing as well, except for the crash report (which I can paste here, if anyone can stand it).

I'd been having a problem with 1.48, but now it's working (I tried several resolutions, including deleting the hidden files in the User folder), and finally got my old version working after restart - but the new version is No-Go.

I'd love to take advantage of all the hard work that's gone into updating this software - it's a great app, and I have a huge library in it - I just can't even get the debug log to get information.

Anything I can do to help resolve this. I'm a Mac tech, but I don't code. So, instructions and suggestions are welcome...

@SGans - as you may have noticed Kovid is taking a break for a few days.

But, FWIW on Windows I would try editing gui.json in the configuration folder to change the line (assuming it exists in the OSX version) with

Code:

"show_splash_screen": true,

to

Code:

"show_splash_screen": false,

Hopefully someone who knows OSX will be able to help you with the debug. I changhed the thread title to include prefix [OSX]

Open the Terminal and run the following command line:

Code:

/Applications/calibre.app/Contents/console.app/Contents/MacOS/calibre-debug -g

Be sure to post the exact results.

As I mentioned in my original post - that command gives me an error that the file can't be found - although I can clearly see it when I look in the app package. I've reinstalled 3 times - the package has the file, but it consistently errors me - or I would have included it in the first place. Thanks.

Hi. Thanks for this suggestion - but apparently, we don't have a .json file in the Mac OSX package that's named gui.json - we have a javascript file named "gui" (.js), but it has no such line as you mention here, about the splashscreen set to on or off.

I'll do more searching for that splash_screen command somewhere though. It may be a good start... Thanks!

Where is calibre.app -- is it in /Applications or ~/Applications

I think on OSX it is a plist file somewhere, no idea where.

I normally stay out of OSX issues since my knowledge is negligible.

My suggestion was a long shot in Kovid's absence. The setting I was trying to access is this one, which may not even exist on the OSX version;

kovidgoyal · 01-24-2016, 09:58 PM

gui.json on OS X is

~/Library/Preferences/calibre/gui.json

SGans · 01-25-2016, 03:48 PM

OH! I was looking in the package! I'll try there and report back! Thanks!

Okay - I found that .json file - and can't find any line about the splash screen at all. Looked all about, and didn't find the word splash, and search didn't find that term in any of the files in that folder.

@eschwartz - it's in /Applications - I don't keep any apps in my user apps folder.

@BetterRed - I WISH I could get there! That looks like it might help.... *sigh*** if only...

Thank you, @kovidgoyal - perhaps, when you get back home???

Oh - I JUST got that /Applications/calibre.app/Contents/console.app/Contents/MacOS/calibre-debug -g command running! I wonder why it didn't work before...

It's not getting very far though - stuck on "Starting up..."

I'll give it some time, and see if it gets further, and if not, I'll post what comes up.

SGans · 01-25-2016, 04:07 PM

Okay - Terminal didn't move past "Starting up". It appeared to get stuck. Then when I went to open Terminal again and run the command, I got this...

Tried running it again,and it stopped at:

You want to run the GUI in debug mode, run it like this:

/Applications/calibre.app/Contents/calibre-debug.app/Contents/MacOS/calibre-debug -g

And if you want to turn off the splash screen, do this:

Code:

echo '{"show_splash_screen": false }' > ~/Library/Preferences/calibre/gui.json

Backup gui.json first, as that command will overwrite all settings stored in that file. Although, I doubt this has anything to do with the splash screen. Most likely the calibre main window is starting up on an external monitor or secondary screen.

THANK YOU!!!
Hi. I ran in debug mode and got this:

Starting up...

then it stopped, and just stayed there for a while. Should I be trying to run this in sudo?

I SEE the splash screen on my main monitor (I'm going to try to attach the screenshot). It just says "Initializing User Interface..." in the corner. It's not showing on any other screen. The ONLY reason I was going to turn it off was because it was suggested here as a resolution to my problem... so I'll hold off until I hear from you.

No harm in turning off the splash screen, if it works for your issue, yay, if not you can always restore gui.json

kovidgoyal creator of calibre Posts: 45,251 Karma: 27110894 Join Date: Oct 2006 Location: Mumbai, India Device: Various	You want to run the GUI in debug mode, run it like this: /Applications/calibre.app/Contents/calibre-debug.app/Contents/MacOS/calibre-debug -g And if you want to turn off the splash screen, do this: Code: echo '{"show_splash_screen": false }' > ~/Library/Preferences/calibre/gui.json Backup gui.json first, as that command will overwrite all settings stored in that file. Although, I doubt this has anything to do with the splash screen. Most likely the calibre main window is starting up on an external monitor or secondary screen.
