I am trying to run a GUI package (kicad) in a container on a
foreign distro (xubuntu) and I am running into several errors.
When I run the command:
guix shell kicad --container --preserve='^DISPLAY$'
--share=/tmp/.X11-unix -- kicad
I get a warning about the accessibility bus:
(kicad:1): dbind-WARNING **: 16:51:56.694: Couldn't connect to
accessibility bus: Failed to connect to socket
/run/user/1000/at-spi/bus_0: No such file or directory
Do I need to expose a directory or set some environmental variable
to properly handle this warning?
Then the GUI pops up, but when I click on any icon I get the
error:
Gtk:ERROR:gtkiconhelper.c:494:ensure_surface_for_gicon: assertion
failed (error == NULL): Failed to load
/org/gtk/libgtk/icons/16x16/status/image-missing.png: Unrecognized
image file format (gdk-pixbuf-error-quark, 3)
Does this mean the kicad package is missing some dependencies, say
gdk-pixbuf?
When I try the command:
guix shell kicad gdk-pixbuf --container --preserve='^DISPLAY$'
--share=/tmp/.X11-unix -- kicad
The icons appear correctly, but when I clicking on some of them
causes the GUI to suddenly exit with no errors or warnings.
The kicad package appears to run correctly with the shell --pure
command.
Do I need to fix something in the kicad package definition or add
something to my container shell command to make it work properly?
Thanks!
