Convert error on Arch derivatives #48

atidyshirt · 2020-09-30T21:17:31Z

Hi, it looks close to awesome, however no matter what I do icons do not seem to show up, the feedback says that all five icons are created and when I run update-grub it says they are being included, not sure what is going on, any help would be appreciated.

Running: Garuda Linux, Windows 10

The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:

mateosss · 2020-10-01T00:42:09Z

From what I see Garuda is based on Arch, so if it is using grub, it should work just fine. Let's try to debug this:

Just to be sure, remember that once you download and install Matter, you should keep the "installer" folder right there, so place it in some safe directory that you will not delete by accident before installing.
Second, can you upload the contents of these three files?
- /boot/grub/grub.cfg
- /etc/default/grub
- /usr/sbin/grub-mkconfig

Also can you elaborate on the "incredibly laggy" part of the title? where in particular? and how is it slow, it has a delay before each key press, or is it something else?

Also can you elaborate on the "incredibly laggy" part of the title? where in particular? and how is it slow, it has a delay before each key press, or is it something else?

By laggy I mean that it takes a good 500 - 1000ms for key press to register when moving up or down the list of boot options, (so I guess yeah key delay).

Just to be sure, remember that once you download and install Matter, you should keep the "installer" folder right there, so place it in some safe directory that you will not delete by accident before installing.

I re-installed just to make sure I didn't accidentally delete anything, problem still persists.Garuda does use grub. It does come pre-installed with its own theme if this matters.

Files:

/boot/grub/grub.cfg

is empty? not sure what this file is suppost to hold but could be the issue

I apologize, probably should have just attatched the files, o well ;)

mateosss · 2020-10-01T01:17:58Z

The empty grub.cfg is indeed not normal.
Can you post Matter's output when you install as well?

Oh I think this is the problem:
convert: geometry does not contain image '/home/atidyshirt/Programs/matter/icons/arch.svg' @ warning/attribute.c/GetImageBoundingBox/510.

The convert command from ImageMagick is not generating the icons, it should have stopped and not continue the installation nonetheless. I've seen this problem before some days ago in an Arch installation.

Okay, now can you give me the output of these commands?

Thanks a lot! I will be digging deeper on these problems that keep popping with ImageMagick and let you know of any update.
For now you can completely uninstall matter with ./matter.py -u if it is causing you slowdowns.

I have the same problem on Manjaro.
Here's my output for the two commands above:

I just had the same problem on Arch. changing the convert command in matter.py to

command = (
        rf"convert -trim -scale 36x36 -extent 72x72 -gravity center {src_path} -separate -delete 1-3 -negate \( -size 72x72 xc:{color} -duplicate 2 \) -swap 0,3 -combine -define png:color-type=6 -colorspace sRGB -channel RGB {dst_path}"
    )

solved it for me. Here's my ImageMagick version:
