Trying my hand to get Darktable running

[ovizii]

I am using:

FROM jlesage/baseimage-gui:debian-11

trying to run darktable from this repo: https://software.opensuse.org/download.html?project=graphics:darktable&package=darktable

Building the image works fine but when running it I get this error and I can't seem to figure out what is wrong. It has most probably not related to this base image but I thought I'd ask while I keep searching the net.

Just in case, here is the Dockerfile:

And my startapp.sh

#!/bin/sh                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            
exec darktable --configdir /config/.config/darktable/ --disable-opencl 

I added '--disable-opencl' as the error above seemed related to opencl, but it didn't help

[ovizii]

Made some progress by adding

export HOME=/config

in startapp.sh

Now getting this error but Darktable runs.

(process:849): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: 07:26:03.453: g_object_set: assertion  'G_IS_OBJECT (object)' failed  
ALSA lib seq_hw.c:466:(snd_seq_hw_open) open /dev/snd/seq failed: No such file or directory

Although it keeps throwing this kind of errors constantly:

(darktable:849): dconf-WARNING **: 07:31:21.225: failed to commit changes to dconf: Failed to execute child process ?dbus-launch? (No such file or directory)

No idea where to take this from here. Will also seek help from Darktable team. Leaving this here, maybe somebody stumbles upon it or picks it up.

Also, Darktable seems to not save any settings I change once it's running. Not sure where the problem lies. See docker-compose further down.

(process:849): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: 07:26:03.453: g_object_set: assertion 'G_IS_OBJECT (object)' failed
ALSA lib seq_hw.c:466:(snd_seq_hw_open) open /dev/snd/seq failed: No such file or directory

I would not be too concerned if this doesn't prevent Darktable to run properly.

Although it keeps throwing this kind of errors constantly:

(darktable:849): dconf-WARNING **: 07:31:21.225: failed to commit changes to dconf: Failed to execute child process ? dbus-launch? (No such file or directory)

You could try to install the dbus-x11 package to see if it helps.

Also, Darktable seems to not save any settings I change once it's running.

Do you know where settings are saved in a "normal" environment ? You don't see anything saved under /config?

Thanks for your input. but I'm closing this as I stopped trying to get it working.
