Zim Not Launching - KDE Plasma

Hi,
This is my first post after my introduction.
I am trying to run Zim wiki notes under Tumbleweed KDE. The results of searching for a solution boils down to

gtk3-devel
and
python38-gobject-Gdk
should be instaled.
But I can check that they are installed

If ‘python38-gobject-Gdk’ is not a typo you can use command-not-found to lookup the package that contains it, like this:
cnf python38-gobject-Gdk

I wonder why can’t I launch it.

Any help highly appreciated. It is vital for me.

Nobody using Zim?:open_mouth:

I have no idea, but members here are spread over the world, thus it will take at least 12 - 18 hours before all have seen your question.

BTW, when zim is a GUI program and it does not start, then run is from a terminal emulator (e.g. konsole), then you may get messages. Post that (including command and all output) here.

Just saying " a solution boils down to" is only seen as your conclusion, not as any computer fact. We want to see things and not only read your conclusions about what you think you saw.

Thank you hcvv.
What I mentioned I saw on a few websites about the same issue. So I thought installing them would help.
It does not run from command line as well. Here is the output.

I hope this helps.

Thank you.

Fully up to date TW?

I just installed “zim” on one of my TW systems, “python38-pyxdg” was also auto installed as a dependency.

All seems OK: https://paste.opensuse.org/view/raw/74757d63 Although I didn’t try using the application.

Perhaps you have something amiss with your installed python packages?

Might help to show the following as well:

sudo zypper se -is zim
sudo zypper lr -d
