HeidiSql fails to start Debian testing

Hi, i installed the deb package, then i started the software, nothing is shown on the screen. The operating system is Debian testing

How can i solve it?

Thank you

Does the heidisql process show up in top or htop? Or is the process terminated right after starting?

I don't know what the "testing" in "Debian testing" means, probably that's the cause here? My own tests ran on Ubuntu and Fedora, with no such an issue.

Process not showing up in htop.

Ubuntu is a derivative of Debian.

Debian testing is the branch before stable. The current Debian testing is "Trixie", Debian 13.

You can get information from the official Debian website. www.debian.org

I can try installing the current stable Debian and see if it works.

With stable Debian it works

I managed to get heidisql working in debian testing. There were some gtk libraries to install.

Thanks for the update!

Crossing fingers my gtk addition from yesterday in the .deb control file could fix that in the next release: commit:57b44ef31391c302b540a7489419e3ba643ba93b

Depends: libgtk2.0-0t64 (>=2.6.0), libmysqlclient21 | libmariadb3, libpq5, sqlite3, openssl, openssh-client

Right! The missing library was this libgtk2.0-0t64. I installed something else for other software. I had all the other libraries installed.

I didn't remember the library well, as soon as i read your list i remembered.
