Gmoccapy can't find icons

[Jacek Radzikowski]

Hello,

I try to set up machinekit on BBB with OS installed from debian-9.12-machinekit-armhf-2020-05-02-4gb image with gmoccapy at the gui.

Unfortunately gmoccapy crashes with messages indicating problems with loading icon images.  First it shows popup saying that icon gtk-directory is not present in the theme, and after showing the GUI window another error window pops up, with message about missing attribute.

After digging into the code I believe that the first popup indicates the root cause of the problem - not being able to load full icon set.

I tried switching color themes, installing new ones, but nothing helped, and I ran out of ideas.

Has anybody been able to get gmoccapy running on machinekit?

Axis gui works fine.

Thanks,

Jacek.

Problem solved: after switching window manager from openbox (default) to xfce4, problem with icons disappeared.

Glad you solved it.

I do my tests with XFCE and Mate, so openbox was untested ;-)

I do not know witch release from gmoccapy do machinekit contain. I stopped supporting machinekit to concentrate my work to linuxcnc. IMHO gmoccapy 1.5 is the last release i did incorporate in machinekit. At the moment gmoccapy 3.0 is included in LinuxCNC, working on a python3 release at the moment.  Please understand, that I do support only gmoccapy 2 and 3.

The most recent machinekit image for beaglebone comes with gmoccapy 2.8. Unfortunately graphics on BBB is not strong enough to run it smoothly. I'll try to experiment with switching to xwayland and acceleration, but so far it looks that axis is the only option for gui on beaglebone.
