Certain GUI applications not opening

Certain GUI applications such as "joplin-desktop" and "timeshift" do not open. I've tried opening them with rofi, which just closes and with terminal which immediately gives me a new prompt. Other GUI applications such as LibreOffice and Thunderbird open fine. I'm using i3wm.

Re: Certain GUI applications not opening

type timeshift
ldd `which timeshift`
pacman -Qkk timeshift

But since those are AUR packages, you probably just forgot to update them?

Re: Certain GUI applications not opening

Just tried updating all my AUR packages with yay -Syu, timeshift still won't open however.

Re: Certain GUI applications not opening

"tried" isn't "did" - don't use stupid AUR helpers where you don't know whether and what they did at all.
Really rebuild the AUR packages, https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ar … g_packages
The provided pattern is too solid and this is a regular issue.

Also please post the output of the calls in post #2 to get us away from the "it doesn't work" degree of information, https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=57855

Re: Certain GUI applications not opening

Please edit the post and wrap the outputs in "code" tags (see forum rules/stickes)

However, that looks sane enough, so if an actual update of the package doesn't help, run 

strace timeshift

and post the output.

Re: Certain GUI applications not opening

strace timeshift

 
Timeshift v19.08 by Tony George (teejeetech@gmail.com)

Syntax:

  timeshift --check
  timeshift --create [OPTIONS]
  timeshift --restore [OPTIONS]
  timeshift --delete-[all] [OPTIONS]
  timeshift --list-{snapshots|devices} [OPTIONS]

Options:

List:
  --list[-snapshots]         List snapshots
  --list-devices             List devices

Backup:
  --check                    Create snapshot if scheduled
  --create                   Create snapshot (even if not scheduled)
  --comments <string>        Set snapshot description
  --tags {O,B,H,D,W,M}       Add tags to snapshot (default: O)

Restore:
  --restore                  Restore snapshot
  --clone                    Clone current system
  --snapshot <name>          Specify snapshot to restore
  --target[-device] <device> Specify target device
  --grub[-device] <device>   Specify device for installing GRUB2 bootloader
  --skip-grub                Skip GRUB2 reinstall

Delete:
  --delete                   Delete snapshot
  --delete-all               Delete all snapshots

Global:
  --snapshot-device <device> Specify backup device (default: config)
  --yes                      Answer YES to all confirmation prompts
  --btrfs                    Switch to BTRFS mode (default: config)
  --rsync                    Switch to RSYNC mode (default: config)
  --debug                    Show additional debug messages
  --verbose                  Show rsync output (default)
  --quiet                    Hide rsync output
  --scripted                 Run in non-interactive mode
  --help                     Show all options

Examples:

timeshift --list
timeshift --list --snapshot-device /dev/sda1
timeshift --create --comments "after update" --tags D
timeshift --restore 
timeshift --restore --snapshot '2014-10-12_16-29-08' --target /dev/sda1
timeshift --delete  --snapshot '2014-10-12_16-29-08'
timeshift --delete-all 

Notes:

  1) --create will always create a new snapshot
  2) --check will create a snapshot only if a scheduled snapshot is due
  3) Use --restore without other options to select options interactively
  4) UUID can be specified instead of device name
  5) Default values will be loaded from app config if options are not specified

Re: Certain GUI applications not opening

That's not a strace output.
"type strace"?
https://www.archlinux.org/packages/extra/x86_64/strace/


Edit: apparently timeshift isn't GUI program at all?
