Knime on Linux issue with blank Dialogue boxes

[mgirdwood]

Hi, I am tryinng to get knime working on an Arch Linux variant - CachyOS. The issue is that when I open a node to configure I am getting a Blank box as seen in the attached image.

Does anyone have any ideas on possible fixes for this ?

Thanks
Mark

Hi @mgirdwood,

I’m not aware of this issue happening for other users. I.e. can’t suggest an immediate fix unfortunately.
Is there anything in the logs (especially after you added -Dorg.knime.ui.dev.mode=true to your knime.ini)? Is the modern UI in general working for you? Or are you using the classic UI?

Hi,

I tried switching to classic view but Knime crashes with the info below. I will try deleing all and dowloading again and start without any extensions to see if this makes a difference

I suppose this is or related to the data preview issue which sneaked into 5.3.1 release. @mgirdwood,m can you try switching to Modern UI and then open the same preview please? If it works, switch back to Classic UI and try again.
