Hello everybody!

I have GoldED running great under Linux for some time now, except for one thing, when I start it, it sits on a blank screen until I hit enter, then it load fine. Does anyone else have that happen?

Thanks,
Sabre

Hi. Run it redirecting the output to a log, so we can see what problem
it gives you.

"golded 2> error.txt"

I had such a problem when Golded was installed on the Raspberry Pi 3B.

Hi. Run it redirecting the output to a log, so we can see what problem
it gives you.

"golded 2> error.txt"

That pointed me to the problem. I had some unknown key words, removed them and it worked fine.. Thanks!
