What's wrong with the xviewer?

When I launch the xviewer from the terminal, I get these messages:

Code: Select all

lj@linux:~$ xviewer

** (xviewer:32902): WARNING **: 09:54:40.781: Couldn't load UI resource: The resource at ”/org/x/viewer/plugins/exif-display/exif-display.ui” does not exist

What are all these warnings about? Is there a way to fix the issue?

Is there a way to fix the issue?

Yes. Don't launch GUI applications from the terminal.

Note that they're warnings (critical?); it's unpleasant to see them and it doesn't inspire confidence, but you can ignore them if the program, xviewer, is working properly.

Along these lines, if you have a program you're running from a menu or desktop icon, and it dies or won't start, etc, start it from a terminal so you can see the errors.

Ok, thanks for the info!
