Nixpkgs: qgnomeplatform requires gsettings-desktop-schemas

Created on 6 Mar 2020 · 14Comments · Source: NixOS/nixpkgs

Following the last couple, I can now reproduce the issue again. I'm running NixOS off of this branch, which is just nixos-unstable with the previous too patches, that were still in staging`, applied.

With that branch I get the following when I try to launch zoom:

❯ zoom-us
ZoomLauncher started.
cmd line:
CreateReportChannel bp_server_fd=4
$HOME = /home/bemeurer
export SSB_HOME=/home/bemeurer/.zoom; export QSG_INFO=1; export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/nix/store/ysp9ql4l038m13gd3wyn5gr66xg60lc7-zoom-us-3.5.361976.0301/share/zoom-us; export BREAKPAD_CLIENT_FD=3; /nix/store/ysp9ql4l038m13gd3wyn5gr66xg60lc7-zoom-us-3.5.361976.0301/share/zoom-us/zoom ""
zoom started.
Client: Breakpad is using Client-Server Mode! client fd = 3

Yeah, it wants the gnome hints which requires gsettings-desktop-schemas https://github.com/FedoraQt/QGnomePlatform/blob/a4a5788e754c0d55980454a60a04963a2ca31aa6/common/gnomehintssettings.cpp#L83. We can do a hardcode-gsettings patch like https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/master/pkgs/development/libraries/glib-networking/hardcode-gsettings.patch, to make it depend on gsettings-desktop-schemas since we can't wrap it.
The issue doesn't appear in gnome because the global environment will have gsettings-desktop-schemas. @lovesegfault You use sway right? Even there these should be available...

I think this is a non-issue and was due to NIX_PATH being an absolute pain in my ass. I'm testing and will update soon.

Alright, I can confirm that this is an issue, but seems to only affect zoom.

❯ zoom-us
ZoomLauncher started.

What actions did you take?

For me, on 242742d195926bf4fd9fee17f57bb6cfbd56ecab, it shows login page without an error (running env XDG_DATA_DIRS= NIX_GSETTINGS_OVERRIDES_DIR= result/bin/zoom-us).

I'm running Zoom from recent master (30631f74a08f4274bedbfb666ea97fb6791c5c1c) and it doesn't crash. @lovesegfault can you reproduce crash on that revision?

danbst on 16 Mar 2020

@danbst I later isolated the issue with jtojnar on the IRC. Try adding this clause to your configuration and see if you can repro the issue:

{
  qt5 = {
    enable = true;
    platformTheme = "gnome";
    style = "adwaita";
  };
}

lovesegfault on 16 Mar 2020

@lovesegfault no crash for me, though I don't have an error "(process:14377): GLib-GIO-ERROR **: 21:32:14.611: No GSettings schemas are installed on the system" in a log. Maybe that's because I run gnome-shell, which has the gsettings?

danbst on 18 Mar 2020

@danbst Maybe? I could/can consistently repro with the above

lovesegfault on 18 Mar 2020

There must be some gsettings related code in the platform theme that needs to be patched/hardcoded.

@lovesegfault You use sway right? Even there these should be available...

That is correct; I use sway configured with home-manager. Relevant configs:

This withGtkWrapper https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/master/pkgs/applications/window-managers/sway/wrapper.nix#L36, should probably pull in gtk3, glib, and gsettings-desktop-schemas also.

cc. @gnidorah who, IIRC, worked on the sway Gtk wrapper.

Same issue for me under i3+dmenu
