GTK-WARNING

[Rob.P]

Hi. So, I run MX 23.5 as a live usb with root persistence, from an SSD, attached via a SATA to USB 3 cable. I've come across an issue I don't remember seeing before. Upon shutdown, I see an error message, of which a screenshot is attached. Any ideas? Thank you.

It's probably nothing, yad is trying to display that confirmation menu on a display but X is already shut down so it prompts instead in the terminal.

That's related to a recently introduced query of yad's version regarding some default button labels.
The current implementation queries yad version this way:

Code: Select all

yad_version=$(yad --version |cut  -d"." -f1)

regardless whether we run in console where yad creates a Gtk warning.
Also the split on "." may fail in case someday a newer yad version would have no dot within the main version number.
Hence to fix both the gtk-warnings and the potential dot-isssue,
by replacing line 27 of /usr/local/lib/antiX/antiX-style-default.sh
with:

Code: Select all

yad_version=$(yad --version 2>/dev/null |  sed "s/[^0-9].*//")

By this it would suppress GTK warning on the console, and cater for future
yad --version output e.g like "16 (GTK+ 4.x.x)", where cut -d "." -f1 , would create a non numerically main version number,
wich will create later issues within the script.

An update regarding this "warning". So apparently, this warning only showed up when I changed from the default the "wallpapers" folder, to a different wallpapers folder, under the "live usb storage" folder. i switched it back, to the default folder, warning disappeared.

we also updated the style files causing the issue per fehlix's comment above. thanks for the report.
