problem installing gcstar on Linux Mint 20
I get the following install errors:
GLib-LOG **: posix_spawn avoided (fd close requested) at /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/perl5/5.30/Glib/Object/Introspection.pm line 67.
The databases in [/usr/local/share/applications] could not be updated.
Directory '/usr/local/share/mime/packages' does not exist!
Installing in /usr/local/
when I run gcstar I get (sample of messages):
GLib-LOG **: unsetenv() is not thread-safe and should not be used after threads are created at /usr/share/perl5/Gtk3.pm line 555.
(gcstar:113430): Gtk-WARNING **: 13:16:56.858: Theme parsing error: gtk.css:6:47: Not using units is deprecated. Assuming 'px'.

(gcstar:113430): Gtk-CRITICAL **: 13:16:57.492: gtk_list_store_get_value: assertion 'iter_is_valid (iter, list_store)' failed
Can anyone help.
I can work on the command line.

Re: problem installing gcstar on Linux Mint 20
Hello,
I just tested the latest versions of GCstar from the gitlab repo (Gtk2 from Test branch and Gtk3 from Gtk3 branch) on a fresh LinuxMint 20 livecd.
After installing the minimum dependencies libxml-simple-perl, libgtk3-simplelist-perl (for the Gtk3 version) and setting the language (LANG environment variable), GCstar was able to run (not without warnings though).
Which version are you trying to install?

Re: problem installing gcstar on Linux Mint 20
From a clean Mint Mate 20.1 64bits (Linux mint 5.4.0-58-generic) with perl 5.30
Code:
sudo apt install libgtk3-simplelist-perl # 0.18-1 sudo apt install libxml-simple-perl # 2.25-1 sudo apt install libjson-perl # 4.02000-2 sudo apt install libdatetime-format-strptime-perl # 1.7600-1 sudo apt install git git clone https://gitlab.com/Kerenoc/GCstar.git cd GCstar/gcstar git checkout Gtk3 sudo ./install export LANG=en-GB gcstar
GCstar is working with the plugins I tested. But it doesn't appear in the applications' menu. It is associated with .gcs files though.

Re: problem installing gcstar on Linux Mint 20
It seems to start up OK, apart from the messages. I haven't tried loading a collection yet.

Re: problem installing gcstar on Linux Mint 20
Hello,
I don't speek english very well but I have the same problem with french GTK3.(A message was post for french users).
When give thumbnails in a book collection GCStar GTK3 don't store them, so when you re-open the collection you haven't images of your books.
GCStar GTK2 is ok.
Only thumbnails seem to be impacted. All other information are well stored.
I'm on Debian 10

Should you have a problem using GCstar, you can open a bug report or request some support on GCstar forums.
