KiCad 8.0 - Hangs on Tools->Create Bill of Materials...
KiCad "Generate Bill of Materials" causes Kicad to freeze, have to kill the application.
Will attach is follow-up comment.
Steps to reproduce
Following tutorial at https://docs.kicad.org/8.0/en/getting_started_in_kicad/getting_started_in_kicad.html, I am in the Schematics editor. The tutorial states:
Click Tools → Generate Bill of Materials….
When I click "Tools->Generate Bill of Materials...", a 2nd window of the Schematics Editor is generated and then both windows do nothing. I can move the windows, I can minimize & maximize, but otherwise they are frozen as is the main Kicad window. I click the "X" button to close and wait and then I'm prompted by the KDE system(?) to either wait or close the application. I tried wait and nothing happens. I finally do the same clicking "X" to close and select "Close the application". I'm on a Ryzen 7950 with 64 GB ram, so there should not be an issue with my hardware. I am, however, on a VM running Gentoo and the desktop is KDE Plasma. I'm accessing the desktop via VNC.
I followed the tutorial to create the "getting-started" project. I had encountered some issue regarding paths. This system is new as of December 2023 and I had installed KiCad 7.0 which I tested only for a few minutes. I then installed KiCad 8.0. Had some problem with no libraries and then realized Gentoo splits out the various modules, so I "emerged" [installed] v. 8 of the Gentoo packages relating to KiCad as well.
- Launch KiCad using the KDE Applications menu icon
- Click "getting-started" Schematic Editor icon in left pane to open editing window
- Click Tools, select "Generate Bill of Materials..."
- After long wait, I close a window, wait, then "Close the application" since there was no response.
