can't GtkClutter.init #170

Closed Rothammel closed 3 months ago

Rothammel commented 3 months ago

I am using Windows 11 and have installed ubuntu 22 LTS from the store. mwp was installed with the sh script, unfortunately I get the error at startup:

stan@surface:~$ mwp Fatal: can't GtkClutter.init

Uninstall the build from the script. The INSTALL file documents this.
Install the current release build
If installing the current build either tells you that there are missing dependencies (or installs some other dependencies), please note them here, as they are missing from the script.

Strictly the error is because mwp cannot initialise the graphics subsystem (OpenGL) that it needs. In theory, WSL2 should supply this.

If the above steps still fail, please report back and we'll come up with some other diagnostics.

ok, I am using a new Ubuntu 22LTS. and run apt update apt upgrade curl -LO https://github.com/stronnag/mwptools/releases/download/7.057.554/mwptools_7.057.554_amd64.deb apt install ./mwptools_7.057.554_amd64.deb

everything with sudo

N: Download is performed unsandboxed as root as file '/home/stan/mwptools_7.057.554_amd64.deb' couldn't be accessed by user '_apt'. - pkgAcquire::Run (13: Permission denied) but mwp is now running, thank you

well if you really thing that downloading stuff as root into your home directory is a good idea, you get what you deserve. The installation instructions do not tell you to do that.
