Description gja822 2019-03-13 18:08:29 UTC
After upgrade to audacity-2.3.1 from ports (that was quiet and finished O.K.) I've found out that audacity is no more usable. The output is:

$ audacity

(Audacity:31278): Gtk-ERROR **: 17:30:23.542: GTK+ 2.x symbols detected. Using GTK+ 2.x and GTK+ 3 in the same process is not supported
Trace/BPT trap (core dumped)

No mentioning of future problem was in /usr/ports/UPDATING. I've tried to uninstall some "GTK2-looks-like" that are no dependencies to anything else, but without luck.

May be some guided way to upgrade audacity (and may be other GTK2-stuck ports?)?

Comment 1 Jack 2019-03-13 19:32:42 UTC
What packages do you have installed? How did you upgrade audacity? Maybe there is installation ordering problem, can you try reinstalling it and see if the issue persists? I'm not able to reproduce on 12.0-STABLE
Comment 2 gja822 2019-03-14 02:49:42 UTC
(In reply to xxjack12xx from comment #1)
I have a bunch of packages. I am using 'portsnap fetch update' and 'portupgrade' then.
Deinstalling, reinstalling dependencies and installing audacity again do not help.

Here people say the same problem for them:

What about sequence? How can I modify it?

Comment 3 Jack 2019-03-14 05:04:02 UTC
What is the full list of pkgs you have installed? That forum post was before the port was upgraded officially. What happens if you uninstall wx30-gtk then reinstall audacity?

im still trying to reproduce the issue here in 12-STABLE which doesnt seem to have this issue.
Comment 4 gja822 2019-03-14 05:37:13 UTC
(In reply to xxjack12xx from comment #3)
I suppose, the problem could be in the order of installation and time of upgrading pkgs (ports in my case, I use only ports).

I do not have wx30-gtk now.

But I have wx28-gtk2, which is (was?) needed by opencv-3.4.1_14 via gimp-gmic-plugin-1.6.9_19 -> opencv-3.4.1_14 ->  gdcm-2.8.9_1 ->  vtk6-6.2.0_7 -> py27-matplotlib-2.1.2_5 -> py27-wxPython28-2.8.12.1_11 ... chain.

I assume the problem is in that chain (including opencv with chosen GTK2 option).

But if you really need all my ports installed, please instruct me where to upload the attachment with 1730 items.
Comment 5 Jack 2019-03-14 06:18:07 UTC
Let me install wx28-gtk here and see what happens.
Comment 6 Jack 2019-03-14 06:42:35 UTC
I suspect it may be opencv

https://github.com/CMU-Perceptual-Computing-Lab/openpose/issues/117

Can you try uninstalling wx-gtk28 and opencv, then reinstall opencv and see if you still get the error?
Comment 7 gja822 2019-03-14 07:34:50 UTC
(In reply to xxjack12xx from comment #6)
No, this didn't help. I've uninstalled opencv and wx28, then built audacity and still..

Where it can get this wrong mixture of symbols?
Comment 8 Jack 2019-03-14 07:36:09 UTC
I'm not sure, can you attach a build log of audacity and the options you chose?

Comment 11 Jack 2019-03-14 08:26:49 UTC
I just upgraded audacity from 2.3.0_5 to 2.3.1 on FreeBSD 12-STABLE and still can't reproduce. Maybe this is something with 11.2 and gtk strangeness?

Try this, portupgrade -fu gtk2-2.24.32 and see if that works.
Comment 12 Jack 2019-03-14 08:32:29 UTC
It seems this is a common problem.

Have you tried reinstalling wx31-gtk also?

Yes, I rebuilt it several times already. By the way, your link is not new, it dates back to 2014. But the problem looks quite the same.

Comment 16 Robert Cina 2019-03-14 17:41:53 UTC
I have a similar situation on my stable-12 amd64 system. Audacity does not start for me as well. I get the following error:

(Audacity:50257): Gtk-ERROR **: 13:30:37.994: GTK+ 2.x symbols detected. Using GTK+ 2.x and GTK+ 3 in the same process is not supported
Trace/BPT trap (core dumped)

However, I only build all my packages using poudriere. I uninstalled audacity and reinstalled it but that didn't help. I also reinstalled all my packages using pkg upgrade -f. But the issue still persists.  I also have the following installed:

wx28-gtk2-2.8.12_7             The wxWidgets GUI toolkit with GTK+ bindings
wx28-gtk2-common-2.8.12_7      The wxWidgets GUI toolkit (common files)
wx30-gtk3-3.0.4_7              The wxWidgets GUI toolkit with GTK+ bindings
wx31-gtk3-3.1.2_1


Removing the above packages and reinstalling each did not solve my problem as well. I'm not sure what else to try at this point to fix it.

Any other hints I would be glad to try.
Comment 17 Jack 2019-03-14 19:17:40 UTC
I'm running a portupgrade -Rf audacity to see if I can reproduce. Can someone try that also and see if that resolves the issue? I don't think this is an audacity specific problem.
Comment 18 Tatsuki Makino 2019-03-14 22:54:09 UTC
pkg check -d -a -n (pkg check --dependencies --all --dry-run)
This is useful when dependencies are messed up.

pkg autoremove
This is useful for cleaning out build dependencies only.

Please use these to improve your prospects. :)
Comment 19 Jack 2019-03-15 20:37:39 UTC
portupgrade -Rf audacity finished here and it still works fine, has anyone tried this to see if that solves the issues?
Comment 20 gja822 2019-03-17 02:17:50 UTC
(In reply to Jack from comment #19)
Just finished  portupgrade -Rf audacity  , for you have asked.

No, this do not help. Just the same error.
(Though I had doubts. Why it should help, if it's just the same with the same options built again?)
Comment 21 Jack 2019-03-17 03:33:57 UTC
That's really strange. There must be something in a dependency that's causing this. So far I've installed/upgraded 6 machines (that had audacity 2.3.0_5 previously) to 2.3.1 and still haven't been able to reproduce. All of them are running FreeBSD 12-STABLE amd64. I'm going to have to try and install a new clean machine to see if I can reproduce.
Comment 22 gja822 2019-03-17 06:18:47 UTC
(In reply to Jack from comment #21)
May be it is connected with some ports' options, although?
Comment 23 Jack 2019-03-17 07:19:01 UTC
(In reply to gja822 from comment #22)
I must be, but I'm unsure which dependency and what option.
Comment 24 gja822 2019-03-17 09:09:05 UTC
(In reply to Jack from comment #23)
Have built audacity with (almost) default options (except for VAMP=off for me) with the same error result.
Comment 25 Jack 2019-03-18 02:35:46 UTC
I just installed the binary from the FreeBSD package site via pkg install audacity and it does not give any gtk issues, can you try installing it via pkg and see if that makes a difference?
Comment 26 gja822 2019-03-18 16:21:58 UTC
(In reply to Jack from comment #25)
I am sorry, but this stage I'll pass. It propose to delete great pack of my installed ports.

Comment 27 Jack 2019-03-19 02:26:19 UTC
It definitely looks like some deps have issues. Try this to avoid pkg changing things

pkg fetch audacity
pkg delete audacity
pkg add /var/cache/pkg/audacity-2.3.1.txz
Comment 28 gja822 2019-03-19 04:58:07 UTC
(In reply to Jack from comment #27)
Well, with "changed options" it is O.K. for me, with pkgs being with default and mine (from ports) being with different sets of options.
With "INSTALL" section I also can understand that these ports are exclusive with mine installed (for example, I have libwmf but pkg wants libwmf-nox11).

But why should I completely delete (not reinstall) my ports?? it is out of my understanding. Or why should I reinstall just the same ports with the same options?
So, I consider it the very good advice not to mix ports and packages.
Is there any way to check ports' dependencies?  pkg check -B  looks O.K..

I'll try your conservative way later.
Comment 29 Jack 2019-03-19 05:36:25 UTC
I just wanted to test and verify the pkg version is not broken. Since the pkg version is working, I think it is a dependency that is messed up and not audacity that is messed up. I don't know which dependency is the problem but looking at how many pkgs pkg wants to change, it seems like something is out of date. I only use ports to install everything and never pkg, but when I pkg add audacity, it does not ask to do so much. I get this:

Maybe try reinstalling all the pkgs that the pkg version tried to change and see if it makes a difference? I don't think this is something related to audacity exclusively.

(In reply to Jack from comment #27)
Yes… the “conservative way” (pkg add /var/cache/pkg/audacity-2.3.1.txz) give just the same error results.
Comment 31 Jack 2019-03-20 09:34:32 UTC
Ok, then it's definitely a dependency problem and not audacity. I'm not sure which dependency it is but it is strange that

pkg install audacity

would produce so many changes.

How are you upgrading your ports and ports tree? Not sure what else to do other than to force upgrade everything and see if that resolves the issue.
Comment 32 Robert Cina 2019-03-20 17:45:03 UTC
I've managed to get audacity working again on my 12-stable amd64 system after a little trial and error. It boiled down to removing the port audio/tuxguitar and it's immediate dependencies from my system.

So basically this is what i did,

# pkg remove audio/tuxguitar 

and then
# pkg autoremove

I don't really know why the port of tuxguitar interferes with audacity but I at least have audacity working again.
Comment 33 gja822 2019-03-20 18:15:04 UTC
(In reply to Jack from comment #31)
(Well, why even for you pkg install audacity tries to delete all desktop manager - xfce in your case?)
May be the reason, I do have many ports installed.
I install only ports, no pkgs. Updating is by  portsnap fetch update  and then I watch  pkg version -v | grep need  output and  portupgrade  these ports.
But my first main problem was with audacity and after upgrade, no other port give that error (yet). Other huge ports like firefox, libreoffice or chromium work just like before. Lately I've noticed problem with MATE clock applet (it crashes when trying to set location) and with gimp (it starts but refuses to load images with "Procedure 'file-jpeg-load' returned no return values" dying plugin message). May be some corrupted configuration or other database-files?
Some other people had the same problem, although ( https://forums.freebsd.org/threads/audacity-failed-to-build-upgrade-because-of-dependencies.69890/post-419887 ).

Unfortunately, I do not have audio/tuxguitar to deinstall and try.

After looking at the dependencies of tuxguitar I have noticed that x11-toolkits/libgnomeui is at fault for me.

Do you have toolkits/libgnomeui installed? If so I think that may be the offending port.
Comment 35 Robert Cina 2019-03-20 18:28:10 UTC
Sorry for the typo is should have been x11-toolkits/libgnomeui.

Hooray! After rebuilding a couple of hundreds of ports (direct and far dependencies and alike), audio/audacity now works again for me.
Comment 37 martin.dieringer 2019-04-03 21:03:58 UTC
I had to compile wx31-gtk3 without GSTREAMER, because that pulls in a gtk2 dependency. Why?
Comment 38 Jack 2019-04-04 00:38:23 UTC
(In reply to martin.dieringer from comment #37)
That would be a w31-gtk3 bug report, not an audacity bug.

+1 the same problem here :-)
Comment 41 Jack 2019-05-21 19:31:34 UTC
Perhaps there should be a pkg-message advising wx31-gtk3 to be compiled without gstreamer so it doesn't pull in the gtk2 dependency?
Comment 42 Jack 2019-05-21 19:33:22 UTC
Actually gstreamer support is enabled in my install without issue, maybe it's gstreamer that needs to be recompiled without gtk2 support.

Same problem, 12.0-RELEASE, amd64 packages only.

Disable dynamic load of libgnomeui and libgnome this fixes audacity

Audacity version 2.3.X only builds on gtk3, but there is a dlopen and subsequent initialization of gttk2 using dlopen from src/AudacityApp.cpp  This patch prevents audacity from dynamic load libgnomeui and libgnome  and initialize it.

Appears to work fine. Thanks for finding the issue!

Exact same problem for months now. I just built and checked the source file referenced in comment #44 and for audacity_2.3.3 is not applicable. So if this is supposed to be fixed in 2.3.3 it is not for me. Sorry.
Comment 47 Jack 2020-02-13 01:38:49 UTC
Do you have libgnomeui installed? Does it work if you uninstall that? This isn't an audacity specific problem.
Comment 48 rhs 2020-02-14 01:49:34 UTC
(In reply to Jack from comment #47)
# pkg which /usr/local/lib/libgnomeui-2.la
/usr/local/lib/libgnomeui-2.la was installed by package libgnomeui-2.24.5

Yes, it seems that I do have this.

# pkg delete -f libgnomeui


And yes audacity does start and seems to run. Not fully tested. It has some problems exiting, i.e. pretty much need to kill it.

Hope this helps you out. I use port "gourmet" and it also uses libgnomeui. Audacity itself installs and relies on this library as well. I had to re-delete it again after installing audacity. Also, in case this makes a diff I build everything in userland but my kernel is box stock.

The crash on close is being fixed upstream, actively being worked on.

Will see if I can get upstream to fix the libgnomeui issue also.
Comment 50 gebhart 2020-02-17 11:09:25 UTC
I had the same problem for months not being able to track down the problem.
I can confirm:

 pkg delete libgnomeui

immediately solved my problem and fortunately libgnomeui wasn't needed by any other ports.
Having GSTREAMER in wx* enabled is no problem. I have that working on another machine with a working audacity AND also with tuxguitar installed.

Is this still an issue?
Comment 52 Daniel Engberg freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2022-02-12 08:35:26 UTC
Jack, is this something we still need to track or can we close this PR?
Comment 53 Jack 2022-02-12 08:42:47 UTC
Good to close, thanks
