MKVToolNix GUI Broken.

[Robert_Gaines]

I'm using MKVToolNix GUI v64.0.0 ('Too Much') 64-bit on Ubuntu MATE 22.04 amd64 desktop, and the GUI is broken. I mean, it's just not working right. I'll include a picture. I don't know if I have it use it as command line or what, but this is weird. I've tried reinstalling it, and it still is like this.

xorg or Wayland?

Even on a Xwayland session it should work.

apt policy mkvtoolnix mkvtoolnix-gui

How was it installed, did you follow a link perhaps?
Any way if you would like or have any interest I'll post mine:
I start by importing his key:

sudo wget -O /usr/share/keyrings/gpg-pub-moritzbunkus.gpg https://mkvtoolnix.download/gpg-pub-moritzbunkus.gpg

Then I'll add the source to "/etc/apt/sources.list.d":

sudoedit /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mkvtoolnix.download.list

and add the pools like: CODE is fixed now. see post #4

deb [arch=amd64 signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/gpg-pub-moritzbunkus.gpg] https://mkvtoolnix.download/ubuntu/ jammy main
deb-src [arch=amd64 signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/gpg-pub-moritzbunkus.gpg] https://mkvtoolnix.download/ubuntu/ jammy main

And then update package manager.

sudo apt update

it should now show a upgrade to " mkvtoolnix mkvtoolnix-gui"
Strictly your choice here, my suggestion is all.

[Robert_Gaines]

I tried

sudoedit /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mkvtoolnix.download.list

and put this in the file

deb [arch=amd64 signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/gpg-pub-moritzbunkus.gpg] https:/>
deb-src [arch=amd64 signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/gpg-pub-moritzbunkus.gpg] htt>

and it broke apt. I had to delete the code to truncate the file to 0 bytes to get apt to load the repositories again. I don't know if I did something wrong, or if you gave me bad code. Ubuntu MATE uses xorg. Only xorg is installed. As far as I can tell, MKVToolNix is installed correctly. It is installed from the Ubuntu repository.

Yep something went astray, but forward to now, add them with nano this time.

sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mkvtoolnix.download.list

Add this, and I will check the correct syntax after I post this: EDIT all code looks as it should.

deb [arch=amd64 signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/gpg-pub-moritzbunkus.gpg] https://mkvtoolnix.download/ubuntu/ jammy main
deb-src [arch=amd64 signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/gpg-pub-moritzbunkus.gpg] https://mkvtoolnix.download/ubuntu/ jammy main

save the file and close.
then show me the return of:

cat /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mkvtoolnix.download.list

then update and upgrade.
BTW if your worried about the source, it comes straight from the Developers of " MKVToolNix": https://mkvtoolnix.download/downloads.html#ubuntu

I just love the reply's when someone asks for help, then offered and no reply. Sad just sad.

That's why I try to drop subscriptions to forum threads after about a week. I'd love to have a setting to automatically drop subscripts that haven't been touched in 30 days. Inactivity tells me it isn't THAT important. Too many nights of sleep between the question is bad for resolutions.

Out.

Great Idea! and Done.
