When I try to run opensnitch-ui on Ubuntu 19.10, I get this error:

$ opensnitch-ui 

Attribute Qt::AA_EnableHighDpiScaling must be set before QCoreApplication is created.

I see this was reported for the original OpenSnitch project too: https://github.com/evilsocket/opensnitch/issues/227 but it was never fixed.

Ok, I'll take a look into it. In the meantime, what Window Manager are you using?

logix2 commented 4 years ago

I use GNOME Shell.

Ok, I've tested it on Ubuntu 19.10 with en_US locale and works fine. It looks like it is related to the translations on the *.desktop files (/usr/share/applications/). I'm going to try to reproduce and fix it, but in any case it shouldn't crash, so maybe I'll push a fix to return a default icon.

Hey @logix2 , I've added a workaround to solve this problem. Can you copy the file https://github.com/gustavo-iniguez-goya/opensnitch/blob/main/ui/opensnitch/desktop_parser.py to _/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/opensnitch/desktopparser.py and check if it doesn't crash?

logix2 commented 4 years ago

It works now, thanks a lot!

gustavo-iniguez-goya commented 4 years ago

Thank you for the feedback, I'll publish a new version release later :)

gustavo-iniguez-goya commented 4 years ago

fixed in v1.0.0rc-5 release.
