Sounds like you need to install gdk-sharp

I'll write a shell script for your version if you want. Might take a day. What distro are you on? Linux Mint. Ubuntu based or Debian? (LMDE)

[rsandage]

Mint Ubuntu.

Thanks

[ronnie.redd]

Give me a couple of days. Planned outage coming up. 😒

I've posted SP67 for Linux, which adds support for Oxva Pro 2 DNA.

Do we have any idea if this will work on Linux Mint 22 which uses Ubuntu 24.04? gtk sharp is near impossible to get now-a-days. Could really use a bit of help getting it to run as i can't as of yet.

thanks.

SetupEScribe2_SP67_US looking very sharp on MX Linux 23.6 AHS.

In LM 22 load Software Manager

In Software Manager, search for Synaptic

If it's not installed, install it.

Search Synaptic for your dependencies, check the box, click apply, confirm with another click on apply and it should load.

I've posted SP68 for Linux, which gives the Oxva Pro 2 DNA a more accurate battery meter and some charge state estimation support.

[James Bellinger]

I've ported Linux EScribe SP68 from GTK 2 to GTK 3. Some newer systems didn't have gtk-sharp2 easily available, so this should make those systems usable.

*This is still a test version*, but if you'd like to try it,  let me know what bugs you run into!

https://downloads.evolvapor.com/SetupEScribe2_SP68_INT_GTK_Test1.run

The bugs I've found so far are:

(1) Multiline labels such as in Atomizer Analyzer don't lay out correctly.

(2) Text fields with escape codes (such as Format and Label on Small Screen Pod devices) don't save properly.

(3) Occasionally, dialog boxes are misaligned relative to the window that is showing them.

Enjoy

God bless.

Currently attempting to run the new test version. GTK3 is present and up to date on Arch (Wayland KDE). 

Last version ran great! This one, not so much.
When launching from shortcut, I get nothing.
When launching from terminal, here's what I get.

From what I understand (and I could be very wrong), monitors-changed is an X11 function, not sure if this might be some Xwayland issue? 

Please let me know if there's any further information I can provide

I'm no programmer, but happy to do what I can do to diagnose and bug-hunt

 

[James Bellinger]

This was my concern about porting to GTK 3. The C# bindings have been in beta forever (effectively abandonware), so each distribution is likely to have a different version with  different functions.

Give this a try:

https://downloads.evolvapor.com/SetupEScribe2_SP69_INT.run

I changed how I register for the monitors changed event. I'll bet you'll have some other error, but it should take care of that one.

My version of GTK Sharp 3, on Mint, is 2.99.3-4. What does it list as your version? Also, what's the specific OS version, etc.? I've not used Arch Linux before, but certainly could give it a try in a virtual machine.

Thanks!

God bless.
