Not launching/opening

[mrme02]

Running Debian Bullseye. X11 with Cinnamon desktop.

Upon launching, I get asked for my root password, nothing happens after that. Noob user, so unaware of what, if any logs are required to diagnose.

If any further detail is required, please let me know, so I can get this issue resolved.

Hi, try running blivet-gui from the terminal with the blivet-gui command, it should produce some error message. Logs are stored in /var/log/blivet-gui but if something happened immediately after the start, it's probably not logged.

From console (su -)

I get the following (I tried this before, but gave up as they looked like the same error messages I get when running applications as root from the console)

Unable to init server: Could not connect: Connection refused

And,
(blivet-gui:144649): Gtk-CRITICAL **: 14:39:32.030: _gtk_style_provider_private_get_settings: assertion 'GTK_IS_STYLE_PROVIDER_PRIVATE (provider)' failed
Segmentation fault

I just tried running this as my normal user after reinstalling blivet-gui, to see if I had missed anything. It asked for my password, then this is what was printed to the console,

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/blivet-gui", line 117, in

Sorry for late answer. I did a new release of blivet, there was a different issue reported on Debian (storaged-project/blivet#1087) so it is possible that it fixes your problem too. But it might be also something, I'll try to do a fresh installation of Debian 11 to see whether I can reproduce your issue (I didn't see a similar problem with testing).

I've updated to the latest version, but the issue still remains, same errors, and nothing logged. Just tried in a Bullseye VM, and confirms it runs without issue inside a VM, so the issue is with my Debian install.

I'll reinstall Python, as that's where the issues seem to stem from.

Thank you for helping me out up to this point, I do appreciate your help :-)
