Hello, I am having an issue with making the front page for xschem (seen below) to pop up when I open xschem. To fix it I was gonna purge xschem and redownload it but for some reason the error message below pops up

Reading package lists... Done

Package 'xschem' is not installed, so not removed
The following package was automatically installed and is no longer required:
  systemd-hwe-hwdb
Use 'sudo apt autoremove' to remove it.
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 109 not upgraded.

I am able to open xschem even after running the purge command, but it comes out blank (seen below). How can I fix this issue? Thank you

Do not install xschem using the Ubuntu/Debian apt command (or graphical frontends). The version packaged with Linux distributions is too old. Download xschem source files from https://github.com/StefanSchippers/xschem, following instructions here, where also instructions to install magic and open_pdks are given. After installing open_pdks create a new directory, copy the file

<path>/share/pdk/sky130A/libs.tech/xschem/xschemrc

into the directory, cd into that directory and start xschem from there.

Sorry for the late response, but I did what you said and I continue to get a blank screen

sorry i am confused: after typing xschem does the xschem window open? is it empty ? (untitled.sch) ? Or do you see the top.sch schematic? I can not figure out the exact problem, above i see 2 pictures one with top.sch and another with empty untitled.sch.
