@bct, @FliegendeWurst, @nh2, you are welcome to test.

[pbek]

Thank you, @FliegendeWurst!

[pbek]

@bct, you are not a nixpkgs maintainer yet! You need to add yourself to the nixpkgs maintainer list first.

meta.mainProgram should be set to cura

Thank you, @shimunn and @FliegendeWurst.

Can't open an file:

nix run github:pbek/nixpkgs/feature/cura-appimage#cura-appimage --refresh

crashes with the following terminal output, when clikcing on File -> Open file(s):

qt.qml.typeresolution.cycle: Cyclic dependency detected between "file:///nix/store/32iqlcylrd8m0vyifrjll41ni3inz4mr-cura-appimage-tools-output-5.9.0-extracted/share/cura/resources/qml/Actions.qml" and "file:///nix/store/32iqlcylrd8m0vyifrjll41ni3inz4mr-cura-appimage-tools-output-5.9.0-extracted/share/cura/resources/qml/Actions.qml"

[FliegendeWurst]

I get the same error, but I can open files just fine. I set GTK_USE_PORTAL=1 which might be related.

The is an similar recommendation in an Ultimaker forum post:

-platformtheme gtk3

Which works for me

nix run github:pbek/nixpkgs/feature/cura-appimage#cura-appimage --refresh -- -platformtheme gtk3

If this flag is required for Cura to run on NixOs maybe we should set it via makeWrapper ?

[pbek]

nix run github:pbek/nixpkgs/feature/cura-appimage#cura-appimage --refresh

I had no issues running this on another machine (KDE Plasma) and opening a file...

qt.qml.typeresolution.cycle: Cyclic dependency detected between "file:///nix/store/32iqlcylrd8m0vyifrjll41ni3inz4mr-cura-appimage-tools-output-5.9.0-extracted/share/cura/resources/qml/Actions.qml" and "file:///nix/store/32iqlcylrd8m0vyifrjll41ni3inz4mr-cura-appimage-tools-output-5.9.0-extracted/share/cura/resources/qml/Actions.qml"

But I also get this log output. No crash.

[pbek]

Using it with -platformtheme gtk3 gives me a GTK file picker under Plasma 6, instead of the native KDE one. So I guess this isn't something we should change in the package. 🤔

[pbek]

Wow, you can even have the opposite crash with Qt apps. I tried qownnotes -- -platformtheme gtk3 (QWidget app) and it crashed when opening a file with:

(qownnotes:507484): GLib-GIO-ERROR **: 07:07:03.086: Settings schema 'org.gtk.Settings.FileChooser' is not installed
fish: Job 1, 'qownnotes -- -platformtheme gtk3' terminated by signal SIGTRAP (Trace or breakpoint trap)

[FliegendeWurst]

This sort of crash might be fixed by #271037 eventually. For now we probably need the gappsWrapper

I think if you also set GTK_USE_PORTAL=1, you will get the KDE one. Though setting that variable is not recommended by upstream.

[pbek]

I added GTK_USE_PORTAL=1, it doesn't seem to break the file open dialogs under KDE Plasma.

[FliegendeWurst]

Works for me, Plasma X11.

Would be good to test on a GTK-based desktop too.

[pbek]

Works for me, Plasma X11.

Great, I tested on Plasma Wayland.

[pbek]

@shimunn, do you have a GTK based desktop?

[shimunn]

@shimunn, do you have a GTK based desktop?

I dont think so, I'm using i3

[pbek]

Do you still have the crash?

[shimunn]

Do you still have the crash?

Yes

[pbek]

@shimunn, can you please try again?

[pbek]

Anything missing here?

[pbek]

@ofborg test cura-appimage

[pbek]

All done now.

[pbek]

Thank you very much!
