Renoise fails to launch on Artix Linux

Upon trying to launch renoise, I get these error messages.

Renoise LOG> Error Message: An error occurred while launching the application:
Renoise LOG> Error Message: 'Failed to load the resource file: 'Icons/KeyCommand_Linux.bmp'.
Renoise LOG> Exception: Failed to load the resource file: 'Icons/KeyCommand_Linux.bmp'.

I’ve not a clue what these resource files are and I’ve tried redownloading and extracting renoise suspecting I accidentally deleted a directory but to no avail.

Do you have xdg-utils installed on your system? Could it be outdated? I believe Renoise looks for xdg-icon-resource ( part of xdg-utile package ) on the system 1st at install time and if not found it uses the version shipped with Renoise. I’m assuming you ran the install.sh file with sudo to allow the icons to be installed system-wide ( I’d assume it would fail to install if not run as root? )
I’ll dig here to see where the icon .bmp files are installed to on my system and report back.

To see if you have the missing file/s installed run this command from the terminal
ls /usr/local/share/renoise*/Skin/Icons/*.bmp

I forgot to do this. Everything is working now, thank you.

No problem, Glad you got it sorted :slight_smile:
