gqrx from repo not working

Hello,

I instralled gqrx via pacman -S on my system with latest kernel, it's not working... I don't know what's wrong, when i run gqrx i get this in terminal and no gui:

[nik@system /home/nik]$ gqrx

DSvgRenderer::load: XML parse error: error code=99 (3) in (null):4:65: xmlns:s: 'http://inkscape.sourceforge.net/DTD/s odipodi-0.dtd' is not a valid URI

BookmarksFile is /home/nik/.config/gqrx/bookmarks.csv

I have the radio antena usb dongle plugged in , i checked dmgs it sees the anetna:

[nik@system /home/nik]$ dmesg -w | grep -i rtl
[    3.415897] usb 1-4: Product: RTL2838UHIDIR

Not quite sure how to toubleshoot this? What am i missing? Is something broken bc new kernel ? Library missing ? How can i track this down please help

Re: gqrx from repo not working

gqrx works fine for me. Have you tried deleting the config files ("rm -r ~/.config/gqrx*")?

P.S. Maybe back up those files first if they contain important station settings...

Re: gqrx from repo not working

I removed the config file (backed it up of course) , re-installed gqrx and same thing it opens a terminal displays output below , but no gui

So i went to the gqrx website and downloaded the latest gqrx-sdr-2.11.5-linux-x64 release , unzipped it and can run it via ./gqrx

But cannot run the one installed from pacman : /

Re: gqrx from repo not working

Maybe you should create a new issue at https://github.com/csete/gqrx/issues and ask them for help debugging this. Since the gqrx binary from the Arch repos works fine for me, it looks like this is not an Arch packaging problem...
