Gschema stuff not working

[sinetek]

I'm running pop OS. I tried both installing the deb file for version 2.6.1 and also building 2.6.1 from source, but I get this error about something Gschema. I don't know what a gschema is so I'm creating this ticket.

Additionally, an AppImage could prove to be useful, if someone wants to build one I would be very thankful.

Thanks.

Firstly, you should install 2.6.4, which is the latest stable release. Secondly, GSettings is how Foliate stores settings, and the error suggests that you didn't install Foliate or aren't launching it correctly. The schema is found, but is inconsistent, i.e. probably caused by running a newer version of Foliate with old schema, or something of the sort.

Thanks for looking at this john!

2.6.4 requires webkit 6, which doesn't exist on popOS, not yet anyway. how do I nuke the schema/settings thing?

[johnfactotum]

2.6.4 requires webkit 2.6

It doesn't. v2.6.4 has the same WebKit version requirement as v2.6.1.

how do I nuke the schema/settings thing?

Well, I guess try uninstalling it first. If the file com.github.johnfactotum.Foliate.gschema.xml (probably in /usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas/; the location depends on the prefix you set when instaling) still exists after that, remove it. Then try reinstalling it again.

Hmm, I installed 2.6.4, and get this error now.

I removed all the Foliate.gschema.xml files I could find, namely:

/usr/share/metainfo/com.github.johnfactotum.Foliate.metainfo.xml
/usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas/com.github.johnfactotum.Foliate.gschema.xml

Try running glib-compile-schemas /usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas. Usually this would have been run automatically after installing but maybe it wasn't for some reason.

[sinetek]

No change. Ah well, I don't know. Thanks for the help.

[johnfactotum]

Try "Build and run from source without installing".

Try "Build and run from source without installing".

It kind of sort of works. The application starts, but there is no icon that shows up in the task bar, and also it's not installed normally with a desktop file so you have to manually enter the command every time.

For a workaround I installed the application via 'flatpak' and that seems to work well enough.

[johnfactotum]

OK. I will close this as works for me as it seems to be a problem local to your system. Still it would be nice if one could find out why it's happening. Since it works when you set GSETTINGS_SCHEMA_DIR, it would confirm that the problem is indeed a gschemas.compiled file somewhere that needs to be updated.

Running into the same issue. glib-compile-schemas /usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas didn't work because of outdated cache in /usr/local/share/glib-2.0/schemas from source installation. sudo rm /usr/local/share/glib-2.0/schemas/gschemas.compiled fixed it.
