mageia 7 beta2: problems with GTK3?

Postby adhefe » Mar 14th, '19, 15:19

Sometimes it happen that some applications refuse to start at mageia 7 beta2, be it live mode or in a fresh install. It happened to me to launch the installation in live mode and now, already installed, to launch MCC. Errors look like this (a few translations to english),

Code: Select all
 (mcc:11775): Gtk-WARNING **: 09:55:42.375: Theme parsing error: gtk.css:135:30: The style property GtkExpander:expander-size is deprecated and shouldn't be used anymore. It will be removed in a future version

(mcc:11775): Gtk-WARNING **: 09:55:42.375: Theme parsing error: gtk.css:142:29: The style property GtkStatusbar:shadow-type is deprecated and shouldn't be used anymore. It will be removed in a future version
Ignore the following Glib::Object::Introspection & Gtk3 warnings
No protocol specified
Unable to init server: it was not possible to connect: Conection refused
Cannot be run in console mode.


To overcome the problem, I rebooted. But maybe simply login off and on may work as well. I'll try

Thanks

Hi there, the GTK warning messages are only cosmetic and pretty much irrelevant. This looks either like a polkit/dbus issue or a problem connecting to the X server.
You can try to issue
Code: Select all
xhost +

and then to launch MCC again. Alternatively, switch to root using
Code: Select all
su -

and then try to run MCC as drakconf
Cauldron is not for the faint of heart!
