[Solved] Nitrogen fails to launch

tolbiac110 · 2015-02-27 03:04:43

I'm trying to launch nitrogen, however I keep getting this error:

tolbiac ~ → nitrogen
terminate called after throwing an instance of 'Gio::Error'
zsh: abort (core dumped)  nitrogen
tolbiac ~ →

I also ran rm -r .config/nitrogen, but it did not help.

I can set wallpapers with it from the command line but using the GUI would be nice.

Does anyone have a solution for this? Thank you.

I'd report a bug: https://github.com/l3ib/nitrogen

Think I'll go ahead and do that, thanks.

I have not the slightest clue why, but suddenly the GUI is working again. I can't say if this was just an issue on my end (I didn't mess with any dependancies or anything) or some sort of issue Nitrogen experienced, but hopefully the devs see this thread which I linked them too, just to look into it for their consideration.

I have been having this issue for a week or so. It seems to be associated with using the Numix icon theme. When I use Numix, it gives the error "terminate called after throwing an instance of 'Gio::Error'". When I use other icon themes, nitrogen works fine.
