[Ubuntu 18.04] Movie recording broken (and GUI unreadable)
wxmerkt opened this issue · comments
I just installed gepetto-gui from robotpkg and used the Movie record button - however, the status window looks like this:
On 18.04, avconv has become ffmpeg again - this may be the source of this issue?
Unrelated, the menu entries are all illegible until hovered
gepetto-viewer from robotpkg does not yet comes with PythonQt.
@jmirabel : you told me that this would make some optional features unavailable. Maybe this is one of those ?
If avconv command is not available, recording a movie won't work. However, I am surprised you didn't get any warning or error message. You can go to /tmp/gepetto-gui/ to get the images.
I aliased avconv=ffmpeg and it didn't work - there was neither an error message nor any output at all. I manually converted it to a movie later on.
About the menu entries, I have no idea what's going on. Something to do with Qt...
FWIW, I only tried the Qt4 version, so it may vary on Qt5.
BTW, you can install doxygen-icon-theme to get proper icons for some buttons.
If this is required, shouldn't this be a dependency so that it auto-installs?

This does not use PythonQt.

It could. Probably, @nim65s didn't know it.

A bash alias won't work. The command isn't run in a bash shell. Can you try to add a symlink in one of the directories of PATH ?

You can create a Qt style sheet stylesheet.txt:
QMenu {
background: white;
color: black;
}
QMenu:selected {
background: blue;
color: white;
}
QToolTip {
background: yellow;
border: 1px solid black;
color: black;
}
and run gepetto-gui -stylesheet stylesheet.txt
