BookwormPup64 JWMDesk Manager Suddenly Stopped Loading

Post by JusGellin »

I just noticed my JWMDesk manager doesn't come up after I installed Calibre. I have a backup without the Calibre install before that which works -- and it does.

How can I troubleshoot it? I'm using BookwormPup64_10.0.6

Thanks

Exactly how did you install Calibre???

Specific details on what you did???

Are you saying if you click on menu ->Desktop ->JWMDesk nothing happens?

Have you done a complete power off/on reboot and still have the issue?

Is the save a save file or save folder?

If a save file.
Is it still showing it has some free space in it?

The things you do not tell us, are usually the clue to fixing the problem.
When I was a kid, I wanted to be older.
This is not what I expected :o

???

1. Install libxcb-cursor0 in Synaptic
2. Installed calibre:
wgt -nv -0- https://download.calibre-ebook.com/linux-installer.sh | sh /dev/stdin install_dir=/opt isolated=y
3. Fixed --no-sandbox error:
Made file called calibre-nosandbox
Added text to it: export QTWEBENGINE_CHROMIUM_FLAGS="--no-sandbox"
Placed it at: /etc/profile.d

Are you saying if you click on menu ->Desktop ->JWMDesk nothing happens?

No, it brings up a window with text and continues to say "JWMDesk Loading..."

Have you done a complete power off/on reboot and still have the issue?

Yes and yes.

Is the save a save file or save folder?

It's a backup save folder.

If a save file.

No.

Is it still showing it has some free space in it?

It's a dual boot and has >77 GB available space.

Thanks

Here's what it gives:
/usr/local/jwmdesk/jwmdesk: line 3481: 22802 Trace/breakpoint trap $GTKDIALOG -p JWMDESK --geometry="$GEO" --styles=$TMPDIR/gtkrc.css 2> /dev/null

I installed calibre on a virtual machine for BookwormPup64.
It runs the command you suggested ok. It runs JWMDesk like it should.

Does the error message from the calibre install on a laptop help determine the problem?

Thanks

@JusGellin Looks like a gtk library mismatch. Or gtkdialog version is not correctly matched.

I reinstalled calibre from a backup save before this install (what a great feature puppy has to do this!).
I set the calibre like I had before.
JWMDesk Manager worked like it should.

I must have messed up something on my last time I instaled calibre which affected JWMDesk Manager.
I'm good again. :thumbup:

Thanks to all of you who give advice and things to think about which help me try new ideas.

It looks like this occurred when I tried to autohide the tray. I couldn't do it from the menu so I tried from config file /root/.jwmrc-tray. That's when I couldn't access JWMDesk Manager anymore.
