Greetings, 

I am currently running Kubuntu 22.04.2 with the minarca agent 6.0.3.   In the agent I am unable to select any submenus or add indivdual foldes and files.   When I click on the add folders button nothing happens, the same when  click on any submenus such as browse, settings, or get help.    

Any thoughts?   

Steve

Hello Steve,

I'm sorry to hear you're experiencing issues with Minarca on Kubuntu. This issue has been reported before, and an official fix is on the way.

On Linux, Minarca Agent uses zenity to display folder selection dialogs. On Kubuntu, this package is likely missing.

You have two options:

  1. Install zenity, though this will also pull in several GTK dependencies: apt install zenity
  2. Install the development version of Minarca, which uses kdialog instead: https://nexus.ikus-soft.com/repository/archive/minarca/6.0.4.dev31%2Bgf99a6fa/minarca-client_6.0.4.dev31%2Bgf99a6fa_amd64.deb

Let me know if you need further assistance!

Patrik, 

Thanks for the quick reply and your suggestion worked for over 60 percent of the issue.   I am now experiencing something else regarding menus and such.   When select the hamburger in the upper right it shows three options Browse, Settings, Help (respectivly).   When I click on any of the options I now get this error message

***
Base: Start application main loop
The X11 connection broke: No error (code 0)
XIO:  fatal IO error 2 (No such file or directory) on X server ":0"

Any clue what those might be?    This same error occurs in both the 6.0.3 and 6.0.4 (dev) clients

Thanks, 

Steve

Hello Steven,

I've never seen that yet.

In the hamburger menu, when you click on one of the items it should open your web browser.

On Linux, it's roughly the equivalence of executing


Where "example" gets replaced by the URL of your minarca server. Maybe you are missing xdg-open ?
