Codeblocks not working well on Ubuntu 16.10 (keeps freezing)

[BlueHazzard]

i used ubuntu out of the box, so unitiy?
terrible user interface, but it seems to be quite popular (at least the most new linux user i see use ubuntu with unitiy. Funny how compiz used 15% cpu 30% of the runtime ^^ ( i used a not so performant (1 cpu no gpu)  vm)

[oBFusCATed]

can you give more info why you think their problem is related to this mailing list entry?

Is this an answer to my post?

[BlueHazzard]

yes

Because I see clipboard problem sometimes. Also I see a freeze caused by the clipboard doing wxyield just a minute ago. Very annoying.

Unity and Compiz uses a lot of OpenGL code and is sluggish as hell in a VM since it has to fall back on a software implementation. That's why you see such high cpu load.
Some VM implementations allow some sort of OpenGL passthru that accelerates it a lot but is very often buggy...

I have try run code::blocks with sudo, l
sudo codeblocks
AND everything OK! the UI didn't freezing now .
===========================

Can you give us a backtrace for the crash/lockup?

See here https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Backtrace how to do it.

Hi oBFusCATed - I followed the instructions you linked to:

1. Turned off apport then rebooted.
2. Ran CodeBlocks via gdb as per the instructions.
3. Created a new console application called Test3.
4. Clicked on Settings | Environment.

Result: the environment dialog is displayed, but freezes (see attached screenshot).

Note: I have noticed that this freezing doesn't occur when no project is opened.

I'm going to perform a fresh install of Ubuntu 16.04 on a different computer and see if the problem still occurs.

could this be caused by the file browser plugin?

running codeblocks as root is not the best idea...

[oBFusCATed]

I have try run code::blocks with sudo, l
sudo codeblocks
AND everything OK! the UI didn't freezing now .

Are you sure there isn't something in the settings that is different between the two users? Can you try to rename ~/.config/codeblocks to something just for test?

This helped me for the same issue. I have uninstalled code blocks installed with get apt and used PPA. Now it works perfectly.
