Hi,
Sorry about the problem. I'm wondering if you see a white screen or a black screen, or something else.
I tested with Ubuntu 14.04 64bit by setting Italian as a primary language, I tried both Italian directory name and English directory name, works fine for me.
So please try to access to the following URL from your browser.
1) If a config information is displayed your network may be ok for GWD.
Then please remove the following directory to clear the GWD cache and try to launch it again.
~/.local/share/google-web-designer/
2) If you see a white screen with GWD, and a config information is NOT displayed with your browser with the above URL (shell_config.xml), and if you are behind a proxy, you might need to apply a proxy setting to GWD. Please take a look at the following.
3) If you still have the problem, we need to look at the log file.
Please send us the log file to
Thanks,
Ume (GWD team)
