No GUI after compiling from the source (manjaro)

Question

Happy New Year community!

I've been using manjaro linux as my main OS for four year now (perhaps even more than that), and I compile cadabra2 every few months. The standard process is:

cd ~/Software/git.src/cadabra2
git fetch
git pull
rm -Rf build/ && mkdir build && cd build && cmake ../ 
make -j6
sudo make install

After that, I can execute cadabra2-gtk without problems (most of the times, hehehe).

Lately, I haven't been able of using the cadabra notebook... The source is compiled, but when I call cadabra2-gtk I get the following:

(cadabra2-gtk:984345): Gtk-WARNING **: 11:47:21.946: Theme parsing error: gtk.css:68:35: The style property GtkButton:child-displacement-x is deprecated and shouldn't be used anymore. It will be removed in a future version

which seems harmless... but also this:

*** stack smashing detected ***: terminated

At first the notebook opens, but after a couple of seconds it closes.

Question

What is happening to my cadabra installation?

Answer 1

That sounds you either have some old version of cadabra-server floating around, or there is a mixture of different python versions on your system which are not picked up consistently. Can you email me the output of the cmake stage (with a clean build folder)?

The theme warning errors probably have something to do with customisations you (or some manjaro package) has made to the gtk theme.

Hi K. Problem solved!

I found the old cadabra-server, eraced the files, and it worked.

THANK YOU, Happy new year!!!
