After installing J, I get several error messages about DBusMenuExporterPrivate

Question

I have installed J, in fact in two ways, one by following the official instructions in their guide. However, that resulted in error messages as I detail in this question: Installing JQt IDE for the J language, getting error

I have now also installed J using the instructions in the answer here: https://askubuntu.com/questions/705338/install-j-on-ubuntu

And this works. But when I run jqt I get the errors

void DBusMenuExporterPrivate::addAction(QAction*, int): Already tracking action "&Test" under id 50 
void DBusMenuExporterPrivate::addAction(QAction*, int): Already tracking action "&Clipboard" under id 48 
void DBusMenuExporterPrivate::addAction(QAction*, int): Already tracking action "Run &Project" under id 51 
void DBusMenuExporterPrivate::addAction(QAction*, int): Already tracking action "&Vocabulary" under id 60 
void DBusMenuExporterPrivate::addAction(QAction*, int): Already tracking action "&NuVoc" under id 63 
void DBusMenuExporterPrivate::addAction(QAction*, int): Already tracking action "&Context Sensitive" under id 61 
void DBusMenuExporterPrivate::addAction(QAction*, int): Already tracking action "&NuVoc Context Sensitive" under id 64 

and a window pops up with the error message

|file name error
|       0!:0 y

If I navigate to ~/j64-803 and run bash jqt.sh I get the same error messages in the terminal but the window that pops up has no errors.

Answer 1

I don't recall seeing that error message before or your earlier posts to the J forum, but in any case it looks like you are trying to install j803, whereas it would be better to install the current version, j805.

See instructions at code.jsoftware.com/wiki/System/Installation.

If you still have problems, please use the J forums, see code.jsoftware.com/wiki/System/Forums.

Answer 2

As I posted as a comment on an earlier question, you may have more success by subscribing to the J general forum, where the developers of the language are pretty good about supporting the variety of platforms that run J. More info at code.jsoftware.com/wiki/System/Forums Then if you get the answer you want you can post the solution here to support others on StackOverflow.

Answer 3

Bill Lam has replied on the J General forum:

"There was a bug in base library for installing jqt from linux deb. An updated version of base library has been release and the linux installation wiki page also revised. Hopefully this can solve his problem."

Perhaps, give it another try and see if it works now. I still haven't seen your question show up on the J forums, so going forward that may be something that you may want to look into. Let us know if the updated package works so that Stack Overflow people can know that the question has been resolved.
