The log uses HTML. And displaying HTML is provided by the Qt user interface toolkit. To check for missing shared libraries, first "cd CHIMERAX/lib/python3.9/site-packages/PyQt5/Qt/lib" where CHIMERAX is where you installed ChimeraX. Then run ldd on libQt5WebEngineWidgets.so.5, libQt5WebEngineCore.so.5, and libQt5WebEngine.so.5. For example: "ldd libQt5WebEngineCore.so.5". That will show all of the shared libraries that are needed for the given shared library to work. There will probably be lines with "LIBRARY_NAME => not found" in them. Those will be the missing libraries that you need to install. There is a chance that the missing libraries will be older versions of libraries that are installed on your system. In that case, you can try tricking the runtime loader by adding symbolic links in CHIMERAX/lib from the older name to the newer system version, e.g., "ln -s /usr/lib64/libpng15.so.20 CHIMERAX/lib/libpng15.so.15". But it might not work. An alternative would be to install the older version of the library along side the newer one. Exactly how to do that on Manjaro is left to you.

Hi,
I would like to ask for some help running the generic Linux version of ChimeraX.
I was running ChimeraX 1.3 without problems on my home machine with Manjaro Linux. But now I had to format my system drive and after installing the current Manjaro release, ChimeraX is not working 100%. One thing that is not working is the log dialog: It is just blank and when I perform actions (i. e. selecting residues in a model or switching the lighting settings) no commands are shown in the log, it just flashes white briefly. Also the toolshed does not seem to load.
As ChimeraX was running fine before the system re-install, I assume that I am missing some libraries that where installed before. I just do not remember installing anything specific for ChimeraX in the past, so I would like to ask if you have some idea which library could be amiss here? I am running ChimeraX from the terminal, but there was no output to point me in the correct direction.
Many regards,
Helge
