GhostBSD 18.10: GSmartControl unable to run because of GTK issues

Post by demetrioussharpe »

While trying to run GSmartControl after a fresh installation of GhostBSD 18.10, I continue to receive a GTK warning that results in the program not being able to run. GSmartControl was not included by default in past releases of GhostBSD, but it is now included. Even in past versions, I've had the same problem. I have no idea how to solve it, and I'm wondering if anyone else is having the same issue. It's very rare for a default installation to have apps that behave in this manner. GSmartControl requires superuser privileges, so I tried running it from the command line from 'su'. Here is the result:

Code: Select all

gsmartcontrol-root -v

<dump>  [app] 	locale: 1
<dump>  [app] 	version: 0

I found the problem. Apparently, the command listed in the menu ".../bin/gsmartcontrol-root" should instead be ".../sbin/gsmartcontrol".
