Hi everyone,

I had installed Cadence to my system. When I ran, Cadence was suddenly stopped. The log file is shown below:

    I reinstalled the Cadence. Now I can open CIW windows. However, it take around 5 minutes to be completely opened. Moreover, I cannot open library manager windows. Please help me. Thank you!

    I fixed the problem. The issue is the hosts file in /etc

    Thank you everyone.
