VTE needs to be recompiled?

Hi,

disclaimer: I posted this issue yet under https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php … 1#p1618881, but I thought this could be worth an own thread since it is quite specific:

since the GTK and everything update, starting a GTK3-based program like termite throws the following error:

VTE needs to be recompiled against a newer gtk+ version.

(termite:8444): Vte-WARNING **: (vtegtk.cc:1718):int vte_terminal_match_add_gregex(VteTerminal*, GRegex*, GRegexMatchFlags): runtime check failed: (g_regex_get_compile_flags(gregex) & G_REGEX_MULTILINE)

As all my vte-packages seem to be up to date, I wonder where this comes from…

local/vte-common 0.44.0-1
    Common files used by vte and vte3
local/vte3-ng 0.44.0.a-2
    Enhanced Virtual Terminal Emulator widget for use with GTK3

Any ideas?

Re: VTE needs to be recompiled?

Does it work? This might be related to GTK2 dependent VTE packages.

Re: VTE needs to be recompiled?

Well, termite seems to work normally, although it can't be adressed in the gtk.css via "VteTerminal" or "vte-terminal"… Not sure if this is a stupid coincidence.

vte3-ng was last updated on 30. March (see https://www.archlinux.org/packages/comm … /vte3-ng/), nearly all this other relevant GTK3 stuff (gtk3, vte-common and so on) on 9. April – could this cause that error, since termite relies on vte3-ng?

Re: VTE needs to be recompiled?

try recompiling vte3-ng from ABS yourself and see if that fixes your issues. If it does open a bug report

Thank you, that seems to do the trick. Opened a bug report: https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/48875

Re: VTE needs to be recompiled?

Did recompiling also fix your issue with gtk.css? or just remove the error message?

Re: VTE needs to be recompiled?

Oh sorry, just the error message, but that's imho definitely the more urgently thing to fix for the moment…

Re: VTE needs to be recompiled?

I'm sorry I have to correct my self: After rebooting, the gtk.css settings are applied again, so recompiling solves in fact both issues.
