1.4.0 x64 on Linuux Mint - blank grey screen while nesting

[baldyman01]

On Linux Mint 21 Deepnest 1.4.0 x64 stalls at the nesting screen, which remains a blank grey screen. When manually stopped no export option is offered indicating that it has indeed been doing nothing, not just that I can't see it.

1. Download deepnest-v1.4.0-linux-x64,zip and unzip into a folder
2. Double clicked the deepnest-v1.4.0 file (which already has executable permission)
3. Imported simple test SVG
4. Tick the check box for my stock material
5. Press start nest

Result -

It remains this way indefinitely.

FYI I just followed the npm install instructions and that works exactly as expected.

The only problem with this is I have singularly failed to figure out how to run this from a desktop shortcut or menu entry so have to run it from the CLI. Otherwise its all good.

Once you run this from cli, does it give you an error?

Please also test it with a run where deepnest_debug=1 environment is set. And check what the debug windows shows you in the console like you may know from chromium browser.

I can imagine that the problem is different libs but did not yet had the problem myself on my linux desktops.

This appears on application startup -

On hitting Start Nesting this appears -

starting background!

On stopping it this appears -

Okay, so it's no bug or problem with the deepnest app, else there should be shown something.

How is your system setup? CPU, Cors, RAM? How long did you let the nesting run? An how are your settings?

[baldyman01]

System : 16 core AMD Threadripper 2950, 64GB Ram. I could do with being able to use more than 8 out of 32 threads btw :)

I can't time the first nest time for this test file as by the time the animated screen wipe has started it's already done. For reference, on the npm installed version this work sheet takes about 5 seconds to first solution -

The binary version I left sitting for about 5 mins on the test file.

Ok, so I think it has todo with the different libs and systems. Linux is not like Linux. And the provided distro Packages can be different versions.

I will check if I can provide Flatpack and/or Snap packages. Think this would be the best way.

[baldyman01]

Just FYI, 1.5.1 has the same issue, if you didn't already know that.
