YAD Development - Issues with Trying to Run YAD Functionality with Embedded Shell Script

[rottenMILKweiler84]

Hello,

I was trying to work through examples of working with YAD. Particularly an example of embedded shell script functionality within a YAD interface.

View this part of a YAD guide to see what I am referring to:
https://yad-guide.ingk.se/notification/ ... ation.html

When trying this (on my NoblePup32 system), I often get an error that says that the version needs to be X11 to run this functionality. I try adding an additional command to force this version, and I just don't get any output from the command (like you'd expect). Below is a github comment that recommended this:

https://github.com/v1cont/yad/issues/10 ... -716888480

Whenever I have tried this additional argument, all I get is a black console screen, and nothing seems to have occurred, i.e. no YAD interactive buttons, and no shell functionality.

Thank you for the help,

It sounds like there is some conflict with X11 and possibly Wayland.....?? I have not seen this error yet so hard to say but X11 is the graphics system that makes the screen. Wayland is the replacement for X11 and operates in a different way.

I am just throwing some ideas out here to get the ball rolling. Check to see what Noblepup32 is using!

AFAIK Noblepup32 doesn't use wayland, or does the version you use ?
Check with: echo $XDG_SESSION_TYPE in terminal.
Outcome for me is x11 not wayland, and the yad examples work ok for me (EDIT: also the one with the tabs from github issue).

EDIT: If it's on EndeavorOs (as you wrote here https://forum.puppylinux.com/viewtopic. ... 12#p140212), then I guess that the problem cannot be solved before yad has full wayland support.

rockedge,

Thank you for your input! I will definitely do some simple command line commands to see what is running!

Yeah I realize I should be checking both systems, my apologies.

Been in the process of a move and I haven't started out with bringing everything up with me.

Hope you have a great weekend,

Hi fredx181,

Thanks for joining the discussion!

When I do 'echo $XDG_SESSION_TYPE' on my EndeavorOS, I do get wayland as my response on my EndeavorOS PC.

I might try to do some YAD in my ubuntu vm on my windows pc for now, as I don't currently have my NoblePup32 system with me at this time.

Thanks for the help and have a relaxing weekend,

EDIT:
I'm also somewhat curious/want to get my terminology right, the 'XDG_SESSION_TYPE' is an environment variable for X?

Yes it is.
