Virtuoso is a complex tool and a lot of different things are happening when it starts up. One cannot say why it gets stuck.

Virtuoso creates a log called CDS.log in your 'home' directory. Even though Virtuoso is stuck, you can open that file using any odd text editor. See the last thing it was trying to do. That will give you some clue why it is stuck.

Without sharing the CDS.log no one, not even the AEs at Cadence will be able to help you.

P.S. Please put in some effort while posting your query. 'nad', 'fil', 'em' are one too many typos.

I looked at your CDS.log. The last line gives you the reason. Either you or some server policy has decided to go ahead and kill your Virtuoso process. This happens typically because your are trying to run Virtuoso on a server on which you are not meant to. For example, many places do not allow Virtuoso to be run from the 'local' machine (i.e the machine which has your Linux Desktop).

P.S. Don't reply in all caps. We are trying to help you in the forum. You have everything to gain. People who answer it don't. Please be polite.

thank you for the response

well, it is not happened first time to me. To solve this problem i restart my system again and cadence works fine then. but this is not good way to get out of this problem i think.

Look for windows that "popped under" instead of
"popped up". X settings and window managers vary
locally and Linux doesn't behave as well with some.
Virtuoso is too dumb to handle more than one active
window, and your "popped" one is that.

Check the bottom bar (or wherever windows' icons
stack up) for some "unsatisfied" fill-form or browse
window.

Press alt-Tab (Cmd-Tab on Macintosh) to rotate among open windows or applications or alerts.

Many modern OS: press Ctl-alt-delete to bring up Task manager. See list of running programs and processes. Allows you to force quit any that are frozen.
(Several years ago Ctl-alt-delete restarted a Windows machine.)
