Unable to build GUI from scratch #34

Closed mgkahn closed 1 month ago

mgkahn commented 1 month ago

Given the issues with GTK using Debian:XFCE, I thought I would try building against Debian:Mate. Changed $DOCKER_TAG_NAME in nurs6293_desktop/build_image.sh to "andrew2hill/nurs6293_desktop_mate" and attempted to run build_image.sh. See error. Deleted ARM64 builder so it had to be recreated and got same error.

I did make sure I had the latest committed version on GitHub before creating my test branch.

What does the top of your modified docker file look like?

I commented out the first FROM linuxserver/webtop... so mine looks like

# The build-arm64 stage builds the arm64 image.
#FROM linuxserver/webtop:debian-xfce@sha256:aba019c83c77d62c76dc1ed19d0948c1e4316f3be34591e448cd94effb5d24c3 AS build-arm64
FROM linuxserver/webtop:debian-mate AS build-arm64

and mine is able to build using ./build_image --dev.

You also need to comment out the docker pull from the launchDesktop.sh, otherwise the remote image will overwrite the local one you build.

Side note, MATE doesn't have the BIRT issue, and I like the look better than XFCE, so if you're OK with it we can just switch over to MATE.

Ugh. I did not put in the "as ......" even though I know why it is needed..... Let's go with MATE. I'll tell Toan to stop recording.......... LMK when you have updated the image using MATE on DockerHub.
