‘Looks like Zenity is not installed’

[CletusVanDam24]

Hello, I’m getting a ‘Looks like Zenity is not installed’ error when I click on the folder icon. I can confirm zenity is installed, when I run zenity —version it shows 4.0.1. Also when running ‘which zenity’ it shows that it is installed at usr/bin/zenity.

I’m on Nobara 39 KDE.

Thanks in advance

I've found the issue:
/bin/sh: symbol lookup error: /bin/sh: undefined symbol: rl_trim_arg_from_keyseq\n

Users running iBackep on distros where sh shell is not default, will get the "Zenity not installed" alert. On Ubuntu and PopOS, I didn't face this issue since sh shell is used by default.

[redromnon]

The reason is because I'm trying to run zenity --help internally for a quick check (using subprocess.run()) but it is being executed in a sh shell.

Will fix this.

Is there a workaround meanwhile?

[redromnon]

No, I don't think so @williamwd

[LevRost2306]

any workarounds came up?

[TheCheddarCheese]

So, if I'm understanding this correctly... changing my user shell won't do anything in this case?

I'm having this issue on Fedora 41 KDE.

Same also on Fedora GNOME 41

Issue present on Fedora GNOME 39.

What version can I roll back to that doesn't have this bug (or any debilitating old bugs)?
