How to check for requirements of a snap?

General system Applications
1

I want to use Wonderwall, a Wallpaper search program, but get the following failure:

$ wonderwall
Gtk-Message: 05:46:44.671: Failed to load module "canberra-gtk-module"
Qt: Session management error: None of the authentication protocols specified are supported
QApplication: invalid style override passed, ignoring it.
Fontconfig warning: FcPattern object weight does not accept value [40 210)
Speicherzugriffsfehler (Speicherabzug geschrieben)

On Manjaro it works.
The programmer seems to develop it on Ubuntu.

what is the output of :slight_smile:

pacman -Qs canberra ?

so far i know is from libcanberra (eventually lib32-canberra)

you have also canberra-pulse probably for pulse audio,…

but for a snap i dont know wich module prioritize from system or own in the snap

Thanks for your fast answer,

local/libcanberra 0.30+2+gc0620e4-2
    A small and lightweight implementation of the XDG Sound Theme Specification
local/libcanberra-pulse 0.30+2+gc0620e4-2
    PulseAudio plugin for libcanberra

So they both seems not to be installed now. But they seems to handle sound where might there the relationship to graphics and gtk?
More interesting to me seems to be the last Fontconfig line.

pacman -Qs xxxx does only local search …it does only sound theme offcourse , build probably its in combination to use with that wallpaper thing ?

as fontconfig i dont know you might try install ubuntu fonts… but is a rough guess :slight_smile:

The solution of a other thread regarding “snap-store” is the solution for this problem also:

sudo rm -v /var/cache/fontconfig/*

Now I installed the snap-store snap. It starts but where there should be letters there are placeholders/rectangles instead like iit wants to use a font which is not installed or so.

Output:

Hello @Peterl65
I’m not sure how you installed it? Maybe this helps you.

Edit: I have just installed it and have it working.

Not sure how to fix the font on the snap store but from the terminal Wonderwall is listed.

I launched it from the terminal and I’m getting the gtk error also. I think it’s trying to load a gtk3 file when it’s gtk2. Not sure though.

I am not using snap now. However when I was using manjaro i faced similar issue. It was solved as per below link from manjaro forum. https://forum.manjaro.org/t/snap-store-font-issue-everything-is-a-rectangle-screenshot/105932

The solution is

sudo rm -v /var/cache/fontconfig/*

I don*t understand the reason but it also helps at my problem with wonderwall.
