Hi, I am getting this error when I use the desktop ‘Load Paper Tape Reader’ icon. As far as I can tell, it does not affect the paper tape reader, or anything else in the PDP-1 simulation.

Is it important?

Cheers

With some help from Google AI I fixed this problem. Add the two highlighted lines near the top of the  opt/pidp1/bin/load_ptr.sh file.

#!/bin/bash

 BASE_DIR="/opt/pidp1"

#added to make error go away, AI Google supplied the answer.

export GTK_A11Y=none

export NO_AT_BRIDGE=1 

# Launch zenity from the base dir

I'll add this to the version in my repo. I don't have write access to the original repo, so can't fix that version.
