Cannot Run
If the software cannot run, please refer to the following solutions
Windows Won't Start
No interface after startup, clicking the tray icon has no response
Cause
Saladict depends on WebView2. If WebView2 is uninstalled or disabled, the interface cannot be displayed. The symptom is that Saladict can start, but clicking the tray menu has no response.
Solutions
Windows 11 Users
If you used third-party software to disable Edge, please check if WebView2 was also disabled. Enable WebView2 again.
If you uninstalled WebView2, you can download and install the WebView2 package from Microsoft's official website.
If you are using an Enterprise edition system where installing WebView2 is inconvenient or not possible, please try downloading the version with built-in WebView2 from Release:
Saladict_{version}_{arch}_fix_webview2_runtime-setup.exe
Windows 10 Users
Download and install WebView2 package from Microsoft's official website or refer to the Enterprise edition solution in the Windows 11 Users section.
Others
If the issue persists, try running in Windows 7 compatibility mode.
Linux Won't Start
Nvidia Driver Issue
Cause
In the latest version of Webkit2Gtk (2.42.0), due to incomplete DMABUF implementation in Nvidia proprietary drivers, startup failures and crashes may occur.
Solution
If you encounter
segmentation fault
or Saladict fails to start, try adding the environment variableWEBKIT_DISABLE_DMABUF_RENDERER=1
in/etc/environment
(or wherever you set environment variables) to disable DMABUF usage.
