Pcbnew showing up wrong after OS upgrade

[ebike]

Hi There,

I have just updated my ArchLinux install and now pcbnew comes up all weird.
I have the latest git pull of kicad as of today.

Anyone know what could be wrong?

There is a problem with wxpython on ArchLinux, or something similar. It might need rebuilding, there are more details on the developer mailing list.

Someone on the mailing list had the same problem:

And the solution seems to be in this response: https://lists.launchpad.net/kicad-developers/msg33666.html

Wow, thanks guys … installing wxpython-gtk2 as we speak, will see if that works …

[ebike]

That worked … thanks.

Love the new look/widgets also

This almost needs to be a FAQ. Certainly the KiCad download page could do with mentioning the gtk2 issue

Well the wxgtk stuff is in the known issues section: https://kicad.org/help/known-system-related-issues/
