GNOME Pie

English Applications

Read an interesting article about GNOME Pie and thought I’d just give it a quick go. Installed it via YAST as you do, but unfortunately it doesn’t want to launch. Which is a bit unfortunate for a Application Launcher. Now when I try to do it via the terminal I get the following output:

[WARNING] Failed to find pie configuration file "pies.conf"! (This should only happen when Gnome-Pie is started for the first time...)
[WARNING] Failed to find settings file "gnome-pie.conf"! (This should only happen when Gnome-Pie is started for the first time...)
[MESSAGE] Welcome to Gnome-Pie 0.7.0!
[MESSAGE] Creating new configuration file in "/home/ingvar/.config/gnome-pie/pies.conf".
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

Now I am not that clued up on the whole Terminal language but I am guessing it’s that last line that is providing a bit of difficulty for me.

Hi
What desktop environment are you using?

Just tested here on GNOME and all works fine;


gnome-pie

[WARNING] Failed to find pie configuration file "pies.conf"! (This should only happen when Gnome-Pie is started for the first time...)
[WARNING] Failed to find settings file "gnome-pie.conf"! (This should only happen when Gnome-Pie is started for the first time...)

[WARNING] Error loading settings: gnome-pie.conf not found! Using defaults...

Can you try reseting;


gnome-pie -r

I am using GNOME. I tried using the above line and I got

[WARNING] Failed to find pie configuration file "pies.conf"! (This should only happen when Gnome-Pie is started for the first time...)
[WARNING] Failed to find settings file "gnome-pie.conf"! (This should only happen when Gnome-Pie is started for the first time...)

Hi
Are you using gnome shell extensions, if so is TopIcons Plus installed?

5

Yes, I do. Should I uninstall?

Hi
No, it’s needed by gnome-pie. So it’s still crashing?

Your running Wayland or Xorg?


echo $XDG_SESSION_TYPE

If it’s wayland, logout and after you select you username, select the cog and switch to Xorg, then test again.
