When I try to open Scratch, a window appears and I need to use the "force close" option. Screenshot of force close

How may I solve this problem?

I really like the Scratch UI, so I want to use this application.

When try to use scratch-text-editor from the terminal , I get this error.

You can try clearing the currently opened files in Scratch since I had this problem because I opened a big file. To clear the currently opened files list run gsettings set org.pantheon.scratch.settings opened-files []

If I type gsettings set org.pantheon.scratch.settings opened-files [] I get The key "opened-files" doesn't exist"(something like that. My System is in Spanish). I write what I did in case it helps someone else.

I installed dconf-editor via sudo apt install dconf-editor, then I opened it and followed the route org » pantheon » scratch » settings and there I emptied the []. It's the same that the command does, but in a visual way.

  • using the dconf-editor solves the problem. Also emptied the opened-files-view1 and opened-files-view2. Thanks. May 18, 2017 at 14:13
