[SOLVED] Gtk issue with focalboard app

Hey all.

I'm trying to get focalboard from the AUR going and doesn't look very complicated. However I'm getting this error about GTK which is preventing it from running.

_gtk_style_provider_private_get_settings: assertion 'GTK_IS_STYLE_PROVIDER_PRIVATE (provider)' failed
focalboard.service: Main process exited, code=exited, status=2/INVALIDARGUMENT

My config file at /opt/focalboard-bin/:

{
"serverRoot": "http://localhost:8088",
"port": 8088,
"dbtype": "sqlite3",
"dbconfig": "./focalboard.db",
"useSSL": true,
"webpath": "./pack",
"filespath": "./files",
"telemetry": false,
"localOnly": false
}

The systemd service file:

[Unit]
Description=Focalboard server

[Service]
Type=simple
Restart=always
RestartSec=5s
ExecStart=/opt/focalboard-bin/focalboard-app
WorkingDirectory=/opt/focalboard-bin/

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

I also "touched" focalboard.db and made the files directory.

Re: [SOLVED] Gtk issue with focalboard app

Sounds like you're trying to run a GTK client w/o a display server - can you run it manually from your GUI session?
https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/ … ard-server runs focalboard-server, not focalboard-app?

I think you nailed it. I wanted to run server not app. I installed the wrong thing (lmfao). I am running it on a headless server so of course, this makes sense. Busy at work but will test later.

It's all good and have it working now. I must not have gotten enough sleep that day.
