Can't launch Guake #2198

Closed TreeDud3 closed 9 months ago

TreeDud3 commented 10 months ago

Hi, I have a problem with launching Guake. I played around with custom themes and fonts and after a reboot I get this error:

AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'get_width'

It was originally installed from FlatPak, but I also tried installing it with package manager but it didn't help.

System info: Distro: Linux Mint 21.1 Cinnamon Cinnamon version: 5.6.8

Hey so I have this same issue (also happened to me after playing with custom themes). I opened dconf-editor and found the guake file. For me it was in /org/, but you can search for it using the magnifying glass. Then I right-clicked on the folder /guake/ and selected Reset recursively. This resets guake to factory settings and allowed me to resume using it.

It worked! Thank you so much! Had to reset the values manually, but thankfully it now works!

Glad it worked for you! For me the issue was that I had placed a .pdf as the background image. It's unsurprising that it broke after doing something so stupid

I figured it was connected to image, I set a gif file as one, it didn't work and I completely ignored it lol, no wonder it broke after a reboot. Also thanks for teaching me about dconf-editor, didn't know it exists.

Actually, this is probably still a good thing to check for and fix, seems like the issue stems from the background image field allowing you to set files that can't be a background image. I'll make a seperate issue more formally outlining this.
