Viewer locks on all types of eBooks

tinker123 · 01-10-2023, 03:59 PM

Hello,

My eBook viewer locks once the window loads. It doesn't matter how I start Calibre nor the type of eBook file. I see the circle/wait cursor stall and that is it.

What kind of logging output do I want to post to get help diagnosing this problem, and where do I find that output?

I had similar problems in the past, but I can't find a way to look up my old threads here. Does anyone know how to do that?

Thanks

Steve

You could click on your name in a message you posted and then click on "Find more posts by timker123" I think I've added the correct URL but not totally certain.

It will be a conflict between your GPU drivers and Qt WebEngine. You can try updating your GPU drivers or turning off hardware acceleration, as described in https://doc.qt.io/qt-6/qtwebengine-debugging.html Also if you have multiple monitors, webengine tends to hang when started on the secondary monitor.
