I downloaded the app “Bookworm” earlier and now seem to encounter quite a few performance problems. As soon as I open the app, it literally freezes everything. Even trying to reboot/switch off my Pi takes a minute. Is there a way of fixing this? Any help would be much appreciated
Maybe some log/outputs will be helpful to understand what’s going on.
What happens when you run com.github.babluboy.bookworm from the command line?

Ok here is what happened. I installed it earlier then removed it again as it was literally freezing everything. Now I re- installed it and it suddenly seems to perform somehow. I hope this output helps

So, you re-installed the package and then suddenly it works?
Maybe a dependency was missing or a file was corrupted.
Not entirely. It gets to the point where I can upload and open a pdf/book but when I try and use other functions it stops completely
For example: I read one work and try to click back on “library” then it just stops everything…and I mean everything. It even slows down the response of the webpages where I’m trying to type…

Segmentation fault (core dumped)
…and this is the latest. If I leave to do “its own thing” then it just crashes…
Wow, a core dump. I wonder if it just needs a rebuild. The package has not been rebuilt in over a year.
It’s odd. I just installed it on my x86_64 machine and it works fine there.
Maybe you are missing a component, like xdg-desktop-portal stuff.
Sorry, you may have to explain this to me. I’m not too versed yet in the terminology…
Is there a way of finding out what may be missing? By the way, I try it on a pi 400…
I don’t know what edition you are using, but you can try installing xdg-desktop-portal-gtk and see if that helps. It might need a reboot.
No sorry that didn’t bring the desired effect. It still mis-behaves when I do anything else but read on it…
Okay. Sorry, can’t really help more. Maybe someone else can.
Thanks for trying though…
