Originally opened as adobe/brackets#9883

Ob Ubuntu 14.10 Brackets opens but the window does not initialize. The left-nav is just an empty grey area and there is a menu above the main window ares (File | Edit | Find | ... ) Ths icons at the right do not function.
Installed from: Brackets.Release.1.0.64-bit.deb
I need to kill -9 brackets - File -> Quit does nothing!

@stollar While Brackets is open, go to http://localhost:9234 in Chrome and click the Console tab. What errors are listed there?

@stollar A few more questions...

If you type navigator.language in the console what does it show?
After opening developer tools, press F5 to force Brackets to reload. You should see all the same errors again, but this time there should be a triangle next to each one to expand it. Can you expand the item for "Uncaught RangeError" and paste the full stack trace here?

I uninstalled Brackets, deleted ~/.config/Brackets and re-installed to have a clean install - same problems.
Not sure if this helps but:
rs@FALCON:/opt/brackets$ ./brackets
ATTENTION: default value of option force_s3tc_enable overridden by environment.

I have the same problem with ubuntu gnome 14.10

I did some debugging and found that
brackets.app.language = "c"

I couldn't find where that parameter was set, but changing that line of code solved the problem:

main.js - line 58:
require.config({
locale: window.localStorage.getItem("locale") || (typeof (brackets) !== "undefined" ? brackets.app.language : navigator.language)
});

replace "brackets.app.language" with "en-us"

This is for gentoo, but it could be of help.
Gentoo has as recommended setting for root to have all locales "C":

LANG=C
LC_CTYPE="C"
LC_NUMERIC="C"
LC_TIME="C"
LC_COLLATE="C"
LC_MONETARY="C"
LC_MESSAGES="C"
LC_PAPER="C"
LC_NAME="C"
LC_ADDRESS="C"
LC_TELEPHONE="C"
LC_MEASUREMENT="C"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="C"
LC_ALL=

Since having custom locales can make the compilation fail, and harder to debug why ( In fact this was a setting from my first gentoo install 2004 or sooner that maybe now is not needed, but i just kept using it)

I forgot to set a custom locale for my daily use in a new install and this issue was happening.

A simple:

export LANG="es_ES.UTF-8"

solved it.
Of course, change it for your own locale ...

Just for completeness.
First I tried with a non generated in my machine locale. And this was output in console:

(process:29779): Gtk-WARNING **: Locale not supported by C library.
    Using the fallback 'C' locale.

Weird that the fallback locale is not supported by brackets/v8

Cheers

Replacing "brackets.app.language" with "en-us" got me going - thanks for the suggestion.

I ran into this problem today. I managed to get Brackets working by following trompa's advice. I think the only thing I needed to do for English in the US was:

export LANG="en_US.UTF-8"

For the sake of helping someone in the future who runs into this issue. Simply go to Debug-->Switch Language. change from system default to the language of interest and the issue should be resolved.

Thanks@epexa
Changing the language to en-us from Debug>Switch language worked like a charm
