Pithos missing login buttons; therefore, can't login

Post by rachelha »

Hi,

I am new to Salix. Pithos login buttons are missing. I have tried live disk, full installation and everything but there's just no way to log in Pithos.

What can I do to fix the problem? The app is important to me.

Thank you so much,

Same problem here. I haven't figured out what dependency is missing yet, but have confirmed that the flatpak Pithos works. However, you will need to install the xdg-destktop-portal-gtk package to get the "apply" button to work on the flatpak Pithos package.

edit: Also need to install the xdg-desktop-portal package. So there are two packages that need to be installed;
xdg-desktop-portal
xdg-desktop-portal-gtk

Oh, it's one of those stupid CSD apps...

Try this in a terminal:

Code: Select all

export export GTK_CSD=1
pithos

I found out yesterday that pithos works fine when running as root but not as a normal user. Doing the export command fixes it when running as a normal user.
