Hi,

I'm getting the following errors and warnings when I'm loading ModusToolbox 2.0 or 2.1 on my Linux box Ubuntu 18.04.3 LTS (GNU/Linux 5.3.0-46-generic x86_64):

(Eclipse IDE for ModusToolbox:3063): GLib-CRITICAL **: 06:27:00.724: g_base64_encode_step: assertion 'in != NULL' failed

(Eclipse IDE for ModusToolbox:3063): Gtk-WARNING **: 06:29:21.202: Negative content width -4 (allocation 2, extents 3x3) while allocatin                                                                       g gadget (node progressbar, owner GtkProgressBar)

Are there any impact from these errors/warnings? How to eliminate them?

Regards,

Sergey

Hello Sergey,

Please follow the steps mentioned in this guide to install ModusToolbox on Linux: https://www.cypress.com/file/504351/download

Let me know if you still face issues.

Regards,

Dheeraj

Hi Dheeraj,

Thank you! I followed this instruction when I did my installation. Are you using mtb 2.1 on Ubuntu 18?

Regards,

Sergey

The issue you are seeing is because the GTK version on your Linux is causing problems with Eclipse. Try updating your GTK version, it should help solve this issue.

Please see these threads for more information:

(1) 501542 – [GTK3] Crash when opening a GMF/GEF-based diagram using GTK 3.22

(2) Eclipse Community Forums: Eclipse Platform » Eclipse RCP crashes with lots of GTK warnings and error...

I currently do not have a Linux system to test my findings, so please let me know your observations

Hi Dheeraj,

Thank you for your reply.

I have quite recent version of GTK from last summer. The articles you've recommended are much older and have no recommendation to use a version newer than what I have. MTB release notes has no references to GTK requirements. Could you please clarify which version of GTK is recommended by Cypress for MTB 2.1?

dpkg -l libgtk* | grep -e '^i' | grep -e 'libgtk-*[0-9]'

The library libgtk-3-0 is the version against which ModusToolbox has been tested to work. Since you have the same version, it should have worked for you as well. But I see a couple of older versions as well in your system, possibly what might be causing this conflict.

Can you try removing the older versions and checking if the issue gets resolved?

Hi Dheeraj,

Thank you for your reply. I've removed old version as you've suggested.

dpkg -l libgtk* | grep -e '^i' | grep -e 'libgtk-*[0-9]'

ii  libgtk3-perl                 0.032-1          all          Perl bindings for the GTK+ graphical user interface library

But I'm still getting errors:

Hello Sergey,

Can you try running ldd against the ModusToolbox executable?

>>ldd ide_2.1/eclipse/ModusToolbox

This should give us useful information on what libraries the application is being run against.

Looking forward to your reply.

Regards,

Dheeraj

Hi Dheeraj,

Thank you for your reply. I've run the command and here are the results:

        libpthread.so.0 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libpthread.so.0 (0x00007f206cb0b000)

        libdl.so.2 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libdl.so.2 (0x00007f206c907000)

        libc.so.6 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6 (0x00007f206c516000)

        /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x00007f206cd2a000)

It looks like the eclipse executable doesn't link against the libgtk library based on the output log you provided which is strange since that is the error you see.

I have passed this issue to the software team for evaluation. Thank you for your interest in Cypress products.

Dheeraj
