Reply To: [SOLVED] Wallpaper tool not launching in “testing” 32-bit

[seaken64Member]

@skidoo, yes, a few months ago anti asked if some of us could set up an antiX-19 sid installation and report anything wonky. I’ve been running this testing (sid) version for awhile and it’s been no problem. But now maybe since we’re getting closer to it becoming Bullseye I’m seeing the changes to Python 3 starting to reveal a couple of issues.

Here’s part of the inxi for this “testing” machine as I called it:

System:
  Host: antix1932 Kernel: 4.9.212-antix.1-486-smp i686 bits: 32 
  compiler: gcc v: 9.2.1 Desktop: IceWM 2.3.1 
  Distro: antiX-19.2.1_386-base Hannie Schaft 29 March 2020 
  base: Debian GNU/Linux bullseye/sid

Here’s the output of running wallpaper.py from the terminal:

/usr/local/bin/wallpaper
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/local/bin/wallpaper", line 309, in get_icon
    pixbuf = GdkPixbuf.Pixbuf.new_from_file_at_size(icon, icon_size, icon_size)
gi.repository.GLib.Error: g-file-error-quark: Failed to open file “gtk-missing-image”: No such file or directory (4)

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/local/bin/wallpaper", line 561, in <module>
    win = mainWindow()
  File "/usr/local/bin/wallpaper", line 459, in __init__
    menu_folder = self.build_button(1, "document-open-folder", 16, _("Default Folder"))
  File "/usr/local/bin/wallpaper", line 414, in build_button
    iconinfo = Build_Picture.get_icon(image, size, 0)
  File "/usr/local/bin/wallpaper", line 313, in get_icon
    icon = icon_info.get_filename()
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'get_filename'

I think you’re probably right and it’s a python3 thing. I was not able to get anything from “python –version”.

I am perfectly okay with waiting for the upgrades to catch up. After all it’s the “testing” repo. I’m learning from both ends. This Sid version on one end and my antiX-17 Stretch versions on the other. FWIW, my antiX-19 Buster versions have been trouble free.
