[Chimera-users] Re: Chimera will not start

Hi Max, You don't mention what OS you are using, but there should be a folder named ".chimera" under your home folder. Try removing or renaming the "preferences" file in that folder. It may be tricky to actually see the ".chimera" folder, depending on what OS you are using. We are certainly planning on getting minimization into ChimeraX, but it's not there yet. --Eric Eric Pettersen UCSF Computer Graphics Lab

Hello,

I am a postdoc in the Lin lab at Tufts. We use Chimera for everything. Thank you for such wonderful software.

Last week Chimera stopped working on my machine. I tried (1) restarting my machine (2) Updating my OS (3) reinstalling Chimera (4) Installing the daily release of Chimera. Nothing works… Thankfully ChimeraX is a good substitute.

However, (A) I cannot seem to find all the features that I want in ChimeraX that I loved in Chimers, for example minimization tools, and (B) would really like the Chimera GUI to work.

Any thoughts? Maybe there is a corrupted hidden cache file that I need to delete somewhere.
