gui menu apps not launching

[noweare]

Hello,

Running LL 4.8 but in system is says Debian GNU/Linux buster/sid
which may raise a red flag to someone in the know.

I am finding that some of my gui menu apps are not launching
for example, firewall, gufw, printers.

Don't know what I did but I did upgrade from LL 4.4 to LL 4.8
a little while ago but I don't know if I have used these items after
the upgrade till i just found some are not launching.

But the common thread between the errors i am getting is that some of
the python modules that the intrepreter is looking for are missing like
gi and dbus

I am using Python3.6 is the python version being used for the python scripts.

If any of this sounds familiar I am all ears, otherwise I will spend a couple of days on it
and see if I can figure it out.

Thank in advance
Joe

I know this is not much info but if it sounds familiar I'd be all ears.

Thanks

Can you post the output of

Code:

inxi -Syxx

run that in a terminal, then copy/paste the output in your reply.

I found my problem, some of the bash scripts had python3 in them which for some reason I must of got rid of so it couldn't find python3.
I made a soft link to point python3 at python3.6 so now they are working. 

I ran you inxi -Syxx command but it returned Error 21: Width option requires an integer value of 80 or more.
You entered: xx

I looked at the command syntax and it seems like a very powerful command. At first glance I could not figure out what the
yxx respresented but I would like to get familiar with it. Seems like a good way to get system information from the command line.

Anyways thanks for responding.

You're welcome Glad you solved it. You shouldn't be getting that error, anyway, what those options do:
Sy = System info; Host, DE, Kernel in use, WM, distro, display manager, OS type(32 or 64), compiler (gcc), toolkit(GTK+, QT).
xx = adds more verbosity to the output.

By the way, I missed the r option, I wanted to see the output of this

Code:

inxi -Syrxx

the r option is for repo, it gives info about those present in your system. I thought there could be something, but you figured it out for yourself and seems it has nothing to do with that

Cool!  :54: You're welcome  :55: You can add more options to that:

Code:

inxi -SyCrMmDG

where:
C = how full CPU output, including per CPU clock speed and CPU max speed (if available).
M = Show machine data. Device, Motherboard, BIOS, and if present, System Builder (Like Lenovo).
m = Memory (RAM) data.
D = Show  Hard  Disk  info.  Shows  total disk space and used percentage.
G = Show Graphic device(s) information, including details of device and display drivers.
add xx at the end for more verbosity, you can have it like xxxx, yes, that's x four times! Just be careful when sharing in forums and the like. Read man inxi for more info.
By the way, I know why you got that error. I use my terminal with a custom size and its wide open, you're probably using the default size, and the y option changes that, from

Code:

man inxi

-y, --width [integer]
              This is an absolute width override which sets the output line width max.  Overrides COLS_MAX_IRC / COLS_MAX_CONSOLE globals, or the actual widths of the terminal. 80 is the
              minimum width supported.  -1 removes width limits. 1 switches to a single indented key/value pair per line, and removes all long line wrapping (similar  to  dmidecode  out‐
              put).

              If no integer value is given, sets width to default of 80.

              Examples: inxi -Fxx -y 130 or inxi -Fxxy or inxi -bay1

 
I forgot about that, sorry, my bad, so try again but remove the y or change the terminal size increasing its width, and by doing that you should get no errors.  :55:
