Problem with Vym (View Your Mind) on startup

Hi,

I’ve been using the Vym (View Your Mind) mind mapping application for some time now. It works perfectly under OpenSUSE Leap 15.2. I just installed it on my laptop running Leap 15.3, and there’s a problem on startup. I get a sequence of two error messages.

Couldn’t read macros from “/usr/share/macros/macros.vys”

… and then:

Couldn’t load default map: /usr/share/demos/default.vym

Looks like the application hasn’t been packaged correctly.

Any suggestions?

You could see the list of installed files (Yast Software Manager can show them) and if the missing files exist, relocate them to the default folders.

If that doesn’t work, you could try to copy the missing files from your 15.2 installation, if you still can access them.

Another option could be to download the 15.2 package and just extract the missing files to the default folders. Note that you’ll need root privileges to place the files in /usr/share/…

Hi,

nice to see that you are using my vym :slight_smile:

Unfortunatly vym 2.8.0 has some bugs, major one is that vymBaseDIr is not set correctly, so macros, demos and docs are not found :frowning:

You can go to my OBS project to get newer packages:
https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/home:insilmaril/vym

or, if you automatically want to get the latest released one, do as root:

zypper ar -f "https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/insilmaril/openSUSE_Leap_15.3/" vym
zypper dup --allow-vendor-change --from vym

If you find more issues, feel free to report at

Hi,

I integrated your VYM repository to my list of third-party repos. Works like a charm.

Thanks very much,

Niki
