System freezing opening KiCad Library

I have big issue with KiCad under Ubuntu 24.04 No matter if I install KiCad V8 as snap or KiCad V9 as .deb, the whole system freeze when I opening the Standard Library. I work on a Laptop with 4 Gb Memory. That’s a pity, because I can’t work with KiCad like that.

Using Wayland? Try switching to X11: https://linuxconfig.org/how-to-enable-disable-wayland-on-ubuntu-22-04-desktop

I have X11 installed

This Morning I installed KiCad V7 and made some test and it seems KiCad run without freezing. At least with the few tests I did

Of course it would be installed, but are you using it? Can you post full KiCad version info?

Version 8 as snap and Version 9 as .deb doesn’t work
