Stack overflow error with Linux release v12.4 #552

Closed atarax42 closed 1 month ago

atarax42 commented 1 month ago

When trying to start textadept under Linux Mint 21 and 22 by executing the textadept or textadept-gtk binary, the GUI opens partially and I get repeated error messages: /home/loewenherz/.textadept/init.lua:29: stack overflow and /home/loewenherz/.textadept/init.lua:33: stack overflow I cannot close the GUI but have to kill the process.

There's something in your *~/.textadept/init.lua` on those lines that's causing trouble. Without knowing what the contents of that file is, I cannot help.

init.lua.zip This is the file from textadept_12.4.linux.tgz

I think I found the problem: After extracting textadept_12.4.linux.tgz I changed the folder name textadept to .textadept because I do not want it to show up in my home folder. Now I learned that this folder is used for the app's configuration. So I repeated the "installation" and renamed the folder to something else. Now the editor can be started as expected.

Okay, thanks for following up.
