showFoto doesn't start

Giorgio_os · May 28, 2025, 4:36pm

showFoto that show photo in raw format doesn’t start anymore.
In konsole I get:

~> showfoto
Detected locale "C" with character encoding "ANSI_X3.4-1968", which is not UTF-8.
Qt depends on a UTF-8 locale, and has switched to "C.UTF-8" instead.
If this causes problems, reconfigure your locale. See the locale(1) manual

A quick and easy test is to create a new user account.

Then log out of your regular user account and log into the new user account. Then start up showFoto. Do you see the same problem??

jsmith64 · May 28, 2025, 6:37pm

That has been fixed and updates may fix your problem.
Do your updates with:

 zypper dup

Giorgio_os · May 28, 2025, 8:39pm

Tried in an user I not use normally same problem.

I update regularly

Just completed a huge update (and several other before) showFoto still doesn’t start.

knurpht · June 9, 2025, 8:51pm

No idea, it starts fine here. Can you fire it up from a terminal and have a look at the output ?

Giorgio_os · June 10, 2025, 7:21pm

You can find it in first message.

knurpht · June 10, 2025, 8:22pm

Please show output of zypper lr -d

Don’t run snap on openSUSE, it is not supported
You should not have both videolan and Packman, remove videolan

Giorgio_os · June 11, 2025, 2:46pm

I installed snap to install a software that I don’t remember. Same, I suppose, for videolan. Is there a way to know which software rely on snap and on videolan?
I woldn’t that removing snap and videolan stop other software.
Anyway snap is in my pc since quite long time, well before showFoto stop working.

hui · June 11, 2025, 3:18pm

To check what is installed from Videolan repo:

zypper se -r 4 -si

Snaps can be listed via:

snap list

Giorgio_os · June 11, 2025, 4:16pm

It seems that Videolan is useless

And I confirm I installed Signal long time ago, well before showFoto problem.

hui · June 11, 2025, 4:18pm

…and Weasis.

That means you can remove this repo safely via:
sudo zypper rr 4

Giorgio_os · June 11, 2025, 4:20pm

Yes, useful to show “medical” images.

Giorgio_os · June 11, 2025, 4:24pm

Removed Videolan

knurpht · June 11, 2025, 5:37pm

OK, now run sudo zypper dup --from packman-essentials --allow-vendor-change, then run sudo zypper dup, then try ShowFoto again.

This happens after huge update made today.

You still have videolan repo

Giorgio_os · June 12, 2025, 6:20pm

I removed it and now it seems at least disabled.
