Cant open on Fedora 39 about buttermanager

[Cygn]

I confirm that it works on f38 (venv_install + scrap old config dir).
Thx !

Hi!

Have you used the installation scripts provided in the repo? What dependencies have you installed on your system (I mean the name of the packages installed)?

In addition, open a terminal, type buttermanager and run it from there. Paste the output here please.

Thanks!

Hello, there is probably something broken in fedora package. I've just tried 2.4.2 on f38 (buttermanager-2.4.2-6.fc38.noarch ), and it crashes on start:

not fixed on 2.5.1, native build:

Hi @Cygn and thanks for the feedback. I'll take a look again and tell you something.

Hi again!

I have installed a fresh Fedora Workstation 39 in a virtual machine and cloned buttermanager repository.

Then, I installed all the dependencies needed:

 sudo dnf install python3-setuptools python3-tkinter
 sudo dnf copr enable kylegospo/grub-btrfs
 sudo dnf install grub-btrfs

Finally, I executed the native installation script

cd install
./native_install.sh

After that, trying to run buttermanager I obtain this error (which is different from yours), but still, an error and ButterManager doesn't start normally:

I don't know what it means, but I'll investigate on it.

Neverthless, if you want to use ButterManager, you can install it using the venv_install script:

Install additional packages needed:

sudo dnf install python3-virtualenv

Then execute the installation script ./venv_install:

egarcia@fedora-39-Workstation:~/Development/git/buttermanager/install$ ./venv_install.sh 
You are about to install ButterManager in a virtual environment.
These packages MUST be installed before executing this script: 'python-setuptools', 'python-virtualenv' and 'tkinter'. The name of these packages can be different depending on the distro you are using. Example: On Arch -> 'python-setuptools', 'python-virtualenv' and 'tk'. On Fedora 'python3-setuptools', 'python3-virtualenv' and 'python3-tkinter'. In addition, if you are on Ubuntu or derivative, 'libxcb-xinerama0' needs to be installed too.
Do you want to proceed with the installation? [y/n]

The installation has finished. Please, review the logs in order to see if everything was OK

You should find a new icon and desktop launcher called ButterManager. You are good to go.

After this, you should find a new icon and desktop launcher called ButterManager and it should run without problems. At least on my fresh Fedora 39 Workstation is working.

If you have any idea or hint about what the problem could be installing ButterManager natively, please let me know, but I suspect it could be related to the packages or their version in Fedora, but I'm not 100% sure.

[egara]

By the way, if you have installed ButterManager previously, before re-installing it, please remove ~/.buttermanager directory in order to let ButterManager generate all its configuration again and avoid problems related with different versions of the application.
