I was running Ubuntu 15.04 until yesterday and codeblocks worked fine, but when I upgraded distro to 15.10 it broke some functionalities. For example, before I used codeblocks program.cpp > /dev/null 2> /dev/null & for opening a program via terminal, but now it only opens the first program. For example:

codeblocks A.cpp > /dev/null 2> /dev/null & // codeblocks starts and A.cpp is opened codeblocks B.cpp > /dev/null 2> /dev/null & // nothing happens, B.cpp is not opened (had I written 'A.cpp B.cpp' instead of 'A.cpp' in the first line it would open both)

Moreover, on second use of 'open file' through codeblocks, it breaks and displays a white screen, and stops responding (the white screen is of the small open file screen, not the big one, but both unresponsive).printscreen

I have tried to reinstall codeblocks multiple times, once through source code, but it didn't help. Often a problem with dependencies popped up, though.

Here's the stdout and stderr of running codeblocks C.cpp > STDOUT 2> STDERR & and immediately closing it. It would at the end say something in the style of 'Aborted (core dumped)'. (for stderr replace in url of stdout '516s8' with '516a9')

How can I 'unbreak' codeblocks ?

Recently attempted codeblocks A.cpp & codeblocks D.cpp & Running second line gives these errors textuploader . com / 50ict

  • Sounds like a bug in codeblocks, or they changed their mind about how multiple terminal runs will open files. Maybe there's a new method they want you top open files with? Or if a bug, a newer or older version could work, maybe one that can work with the other installed packages, so little to no dependency problems? – Xen2050 Nov 03 '15 at 05:33
  • I don't know, but I fiddled a bit and got a system error from trying to install codeblocks-contrib. link to the output : http://textuploader.com/503ng the exact terminal command was : sudo apt-get install codeblocks-contrib – Ivan Lazaric Nov 07 '15 at 23:15
  • I did try to install another version, but either I failed, or it is broken on 15.10 as well. – Ivan Lazaric Nov 07 '15 at 23:39
  • codeblocks is in the Ubuntu universe repos, so it should install properly with apt or the software center... are your repos changed or corrupted? Maybe re-setting the repos might fix things, see this answer - especially the Backup the sources.list files and Restoring the default Ubuntu sources.list sections . I'd try that before something drastic like a clean re-install of 15.10 (have a backup of your home & data first) Doing a distro upgrade, like from 15.04 to 15.10, has caused problems in the past. – Xen2050 Nov 08 '15 at 05:43
