remarkable fails on launch

[yadayada]

I'm using version 1.62 on Debian stretch.

Recently, I get the following error when I try to run remarkable

/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/remarkable/__init__.py:27: PyGIWarning: Gtk was imported without specifying a version first. Use gi.require_version('Gtk', '3.0') before import to ensure that the right version gets loaded.

I have the same problem using Ubuntu Gnome 15.10

[sitzmoebelchronograph]

I can confirm this issue.

On my Debian stretch I sloved this by editing /usr/share/remarkable/ui/RemarkableWindow.ui I disabled all stuff from line 834 to 842 like this:

           <!--
                <child>
                  <object class="GtkMenuItem" id="mnu_about">
                    <property name="related_action"/>
                    <property name="visible">True</property>
                    <property name="can_focus">False</property>
                    <property name="label" translatable="yes">About</property>
                    <property name="use_underline">True</property>
                  </object>
                </child>
               -->

This will disable the "About" menu entry in remarkables "Help" menu. This will fix the start issue for me. Hope this will help you guys to fix your issues too

$ remarkable --version remarkable 1.62

I have the exact same problem with Debian sid. The only 3 hours old workaround by @sitzmoebelchronograph works, thank you. What a lucky coincidence :). My configuration:

dpkg -l python3 python dconf-gsettings-backend gsettings-backend \
gir1.2-glib-2.0 gir1.2-gtk-3.0 python3-markdown python3-bs4 \
gir1.2-webkit-3.0 yelp wkhtmltopdf python3-gi remarkable

The packages above are copy pasted from the dependencies of

apt-cache show -t sid remarkable

I installed this by using the debian package from here http://remarkableapp.github.io/linux/download.html and then

sudo dpkg -i remarkable_1.62_all.deb
sudo apt-get -f install -t sid

[sitzmoebelchronograph]

@mxmlnkn U'r welcome. For me it looks like an issue in remarkable code (missing reference for mnu_about), because I can't run actually remarkable .deb Package on older Debian Systems as "stretch"

@remarkableapp Did you think you able to fix this issue in near future?

[docraddley]

Fwiw, I only commented out line 835. This way you can still have "About" in "Help."

@sitzmoebelchronograph

Thank you, that's pretty nice!

But when I start it from terminal, it still report a error.(Finally it works, remain the error in terminal).

Wait for next offical's update.

Same issue on Fedora 23 with Gnome 3.18.2, also "fixed" with a workaround by @sitzmoebelchronograph.

[aaamourao]

Same issue on Fedora 23 with Gnome 3! Thx,@sitzmoebelchronograph !!

Same issue on ubuntu 16.04. Thanks @sitzmoebelchronograph . It works

[anvius]

Thanks @sitzmoebelchronograph . It works. Thanks @Zaiyin too. At the end, I commented the line #835. It works too.

[wangxinarhat]

@Zaiyin it works

[drvenom123]

I'm having the same issue on Xubuntu 16.04. Unfortunately, @sitzmoebelchronograph solution didn’t work for me. Any estimated time for a fix? Thanks.

[NathanJPlummer]

Confirming:

Linux Mint 18 based on Ubuntu 16.04. Only works with the workaround.

[remarkableapp]

Updated DEB and RPM available in this repository if you wish to test. Fixes #14 crash on launch.

Will be uploaded to site soon.

[gwillem]

Thanks, the 1.72 deb works awesome on Ubuntu 16.04

[baddwin]

I've just installed this on Fedora 28 from COPR of neteler/remarkable and still getting this issue and the workaround is not working any more

@baddwin

Just a guess, but maybe something went wrong with that build in the repository?

Maybe try the RPM direct from the Remarkable webpage
