Sailoog,
Thanks for the reply. I don't normally start OpenCPN as sudo and did this just to see if that helped.
Unfortunately there is no error displayed when I launch OpenCPN, either from terminal or using the deskptop link. The opencpn process starts and consumes high cpu (seems to be 100% CPU on one core) but the window never appears. The only time time an error message is displayed (or anything written to a log - see the log contents in my earlier post) is when I run opencpn as sudo or using the -p parameter. Of course, I don't know if these errors are the reason why the opencpn window isn't visible or are unrelated issues caused by running opencpn as sudo or with -p.
The issue started after I upgraded OpenCPN to 4.8.0 and OpenPlotter to 14.4 - I don't know which upgrade caused the problem. I haven't intentionally set the system to use opengl - I don't know how to do this so assume opengl isn't enabled, but can you let me know how to check this please and I'll make sure opengl is turned off?
Thanks,
Jon
