Variety will not start

Hello All. I recently installed Tumbleweek KDE. Love it! I came from Fedora and enjoyed Variety. However, it will not start and I receive the following error. I believe the python module Cairo is loaded via yast but there are many variants of the python cairo module. Any ideas on how I might fix this? It does this under X11 and Wayland.

Thanks for any assistance!

Error below:

Traceback (most recent call last):

Hi and welcome to the Forum :slight_smile:
Is python38-pycairo installed? I have it installed here GNOME and X11, all working fine.

THANK YOU!!!..I installed that and I then received another error below:

Gtk-CRITICAL **: 16:01:12.682: _gtk_style_provider_private_get_settings: assertion ‘GTK_IS_STYLE_PROVIDER_PRIVATE (provider)’ failed

I then found out that I needed python38-gobject-Gdk

Once I installed that all is well.

Thank you for your super fast help!

Cheers
