*Maybe you've already tried that, but if not, here's how to do it:*
* $ darktable --configdir /path/to/temporary/configdir This will create a new default profile at "/path/to/temporary/configdir" and should leave your working profile alone. But you do have a backup of it, right?! If darktable now starts with it's defaults settings, something with your config and/or image database is fishy...* Ah-hah! THAT made it launch. Which is both a good thing and a bad thing. No, I don't think I have a backup of my original config. When I launched it from the command line, although it launched, the command line gave me this: ~ darktable --configdir ~/.config/darktable/test 1 ✘ Fontconfig error: "/etc/fonts/fonts.conf", line 29: not well-formed (invalid token) Fontconfig error: Cannot load config file from /etc/fonts/fonts.conf 1.3400 [lib_load_module] failed to open `midi': libportmidi.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory Not sure if anyone understands what all that means, and if that might be the cause of the issue? ____________________________________________________________________________ darktable user mailing list to unsubscribe send a mail to darktable-user+unsubscr...@lists.darktable.org
