RNB buttons crash my Gnome session #749

Open hinz1 opened 4 months ago

hinz1 commented 4 months ago

Discussed in https://github.com/jendrikseipp/rednotebook/discussions/748

Originally posted by **hinz1** February 23, 2024 Hi all. Since a couple of days, when I use one of the Template or Insert keys on top of the Journal pane, my Desktop freezes, blanks and I find myself back at the login prompt. This is a rather dramatic effect for clicking on a standard UI element in an application, I think. I use a quite freshly installed Ubuntu 22.04 Jammy with a standard Gnome desktop. RNB version 2.24 from the Ubuntu Repo. Did anyone else experience this or might even have hints to a solution? I mean, I can work fine as long as I remember to stay away from those buttons, buuut... Best, Markus

Thanks for the report! Can you run RedNotebook from the command line and paste the error output here? Or is there nothing to retrieve?

Does it still happen with the latest version from the Ubuntu PPA?

Hello Jendrik.

I didn't know there was a PPA, I'll switch to it asap. At the moment I use the off-the-shelf Ubuntu version.

As for the startup log: there's a suspicious GTK-Crit, maybe? Here's the relevant part, everything below that looks normal.

And, btw. thank you for your work, I use RNB daily, and in its function as my brain swap space it saved me several times already.

Ok, I switched to 2.32 from the PPA. The "Templates" button didn't crash my session (just a short freeze), but it didn't do anything either. stderr gave me this: 

Gdk-Message: 09:17:56.145: Window 0x5654c5b1f220 is a temporary window without parent, application will not be able to position it on screen.

(rednotebook:10444): Gdk-CRITICAL **: 09:17:56.151: gdk_wayland_window_handle_configure_popup: assertion 'impl->transient_for' failed

Hope it helps, Markus

The "Insert stuff" button didn't do anything either, the "Format" one finally dumped me to the login screen. Here's the stderr-Log:

Thanks! Does the error persist when you are in a non-Wayland session?

hinz1 commented 4 months ago

Nope. Everything's fine in Xorg. stderr now just says: 

/usr/share/rednotebook/rednotebook/util/filesystem.py:59: PyGIWarning: WebKit2 was imported without specifying a version first. Use gi.require_version('WebKit2', '4.0') before import to ensure that the right version gets loaded.
  from gi.repository import WebKit2

Argh. Wayland, again. Canonical is really trying to push me towards switching to Debian. :-| Thanks for looking into it. Guess I'll just stick with Xorg, then.

Best, Markus

jendrikseipp commented 4 months ago

Thanks for testing this! If you know your way around Python and have some spare time, you could try to fix the bug. This would help a lot of users, I assume, since Wayland is now the default in Ubuntu.

hinz1 commented 4 months ago

It is (but not in Debian afaik...). I know some Python from the data analysis and bioinformatics side, but I never had anything to do with GUI development, so I'm probably not the right guy for the task. Anyway, if I wanted to have a look at the code, where would I start?

jendrikseipp commented 4 months ago

Since the format menu is the smallest of the GUI menus, I'd start there. The code is in rednotebook/gui/format_menu.py. Once you have cloned the repo, you can start the application with ./run. I asked phind.com about the code and the error messages and got the following hints: https://www.phind.com/search?cache=jrzlfvbf77hrj4etumccj4x6

hinz1 commented 4 months ago

Thanks, I'll have a look at it out of curiosity, mainly. Never did anything with GTK & friends but who knows, maybe I find something. ;)
