Hi, I am having an issue moving from Windows to Linux (Chromebook really, with Crostini). I know initially when I had qb64pe running, I had to install some extra libraries to support graphical file dialog boxes. But... for some reasons, they stopped working. E.g. on the IDE, if I do a File, Open, it would just pause, and go back to the editor. No errors, nothing. But I would not get a dialog box to choose a file to open. I had to edit the configuration file to disable GUI dialog boxes.
The problem is even my programs that uses the file dialogue boxes don't work. For example:
This works fine on Windows. I remember it worked initially on my Chromebook on Crostini before. But now it doesn't work. I checked my kdialog is working fine. How can I troubleshoot and find out what's wrong? I have temporary changed my program to use a pitiful Line Input to get a text with the filename for the moment. Thanks for any help!
The problem is even my programs that uses the file dialogue boxes don't work. For example:
Code: (Select All)
appt_file$ = _OpenFileDialog$("Choose Appointment File...", "", "*.app|*.txt", "Appointment Files", 0)
