Re: [orca-list] installing GTK4 == breaking stuff



Yeah, I installed it from the Fedora Package Repository. I tried
searching, but without definite results. I did a clean install now,
since I had other things not working as expected as well, do to 5
years upgrading and installing different things from different
sources. I won't digg it further for now, but let everyone be warned -
don't install GTK4, cause you might have problems, and it's not
accessible anyway.

I would expect removing a package to be enough to revert whatever is
necessary, unless a maintiner script was run during the package
installation - in which case, I would suggest reporting that as a bug.

My only recommendation would be to run Web searches based on the error
messages that you're getting.

Hi,
I was stupid enough to install GTK4 in order to compile the latest
Corebird from source. The next time I've restarted orca I realized my
mistake seeing my X Server crashing.
Now I'm not able to start neither GNOME nor KDE, but only EXWM, which
fortunately is what I'm using, but unfortunately it crashes as well as
soon as I start orca.
I'm using startx, but GDM also complains that there's a problem and
refuses to continue to the logging prompt. GDM doesn't crash though.
I uninstalled GTK4, of course, but it didn't restore what it broke,
neither reinstalling GTK3 did. There could be something else here, but
I remember some discussions here around GTK4, which warned that it
will break stuff.
I upgraded from Fedora 31 to 32 after that, which usually gets me out
of trouble and is the reason I usually stay at least one version
behind, but it didn't work this time.
So my question here is do you remember what GTK4 breaks and how to
restore it, if anything?
