I can confirm that Pcbnew freezes when opened from Kicad. It won't fully initialize UI and attempt to close the window would crash the app.

The core reason seems to be mismatched versions of the wxWidgets (wxgtk) and wxPython. The problem can be resolved by disabling WxPython scripting or ensuring versions match (which may be difficult to achieve long-term):

-DKICAD_SCRIPTING_WXPYTHON=OFF

Not sure how many people are using this part of scripting. KiCad 5 is a very nice improvement over version 4 and I recommend it to everyone! :)

You write OFF in every line that says SCRIPTING instead of ON.

What does it mean, "Disable scripting completely?"

Disable scripting completely.

Does anyone have an idea how to make kicad start pcbnew correctly, so that we don't need to start it standalone?

nickoe commented on 2018-02-17 15:33 (UTC)

Although pcbnew seems like it is still broken when started from kicad, but it looks ok when started standalone.

It seems to work fine afterall with only wxpython disabled

Cool. I think we all hope the gtk2 vs 3 stuff here gets ironed out.

You can just modify the pkgbuild and enable it. But it is beacuse it depends on wxpython built with gtk2. And wxpython-gtk2 can not coexist with the normal wxpython package. So I disabled it to be safe. I am ok with your makeing a specific package which enables scripting, but that is hopefully just temporary.
