Re: mousepad --name or --class has not effect

Trying to confirm if the library file is from the same version.

Yes I know, the question was for @jt1122 (I had corrected the path too).
It was to save time in your absence, but in the end...

lol. Sorry - I didn't notice that.

$ strings /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libmousepad.so | grep -A2 version$
strings: '/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libmousepad.so': No such file

Re: mousepad --name or --class has not effect

sudo updatedb
locate 'libmousepad.so'

could be much quicker and seamless.

You don't even need to update the database because it's done daily by /etc/cron.daily/mlocate. Catfish depends on mlocate, so it should be available in 99% of cases (exaggerating a bit).

Re: mousepad --name or --class has not effect

Is libmousepad0 installed?

It should be as its a dependency if mousepad. If not, maybe try re-installing mousepad.

Re: mousepad --name or --class has not effect

from synaptic:
libglib2 2.70.4-1
libglib3 2.99.3-4
libgtk-3 3.3.24.31-1
libgtk-4 4.6.1

Where did you get libgtk 4? How did you install it?

Also, does it only not work with Mousepad or any GTK app?

set_program_class() is not available in GTK4.

Re: mousepad --name or --class has not effect

It seems that your system definitely has a problem @jt1122
What does this return:

apt list '*mousepad*'

Maybe I am just too dense for this discussion but "What is the point of this discussion with the 'name thing'?

Re: mousepad --name or --class has not effect

Looks like libmousepad.so is not shipped with libmousepad0: https://packages.debian.org/bookworm/am … 0/filelist
So try this:

strings /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libmousepad.so.0 | grep -A2 version$

If that doesn't work either, please give the return of

dpkg -L libmousepad0

Re: mousepad --name or --class has not effect

Ok so this is the right version. So no idea why --name and --class don't work for you.
