English translation

Cannot start normally; the window is unresponsive, and the system requires force quit.

Cause

Section titled “Cause”

This issue occurred on Ubuntu 24.04 with CC Switch 3.16.2. The logs show that the main window was displayed and Linux focus and surface reactivation ran, after which the process was terminated with exit code 137. Opening the About window also produced a GTK widget assertion failure and window size drift.

The thread provides no verified root cause or successful fix and was closed after no new reproduction information was provided for an extended period. The maintainer only stated that 4.0 substantially refactored the relevant functionality and recommended updating and retrying, so it is unclear whether the root cause was the GTK theme warning, window reactivation, or size drift.

Fix

Section titled “Fix”

  1. Update CC Switch to 4.0, which includes a relevant refactor, or the latest version. Restart it on Ubuntu 24.04 and check whether the window remains unresponsive.

  2. If the issue persists, provide the CC Switch version, system information, complete reproduction steps, and relevant logs or screenshots, then reopen the issue.
