Fresh Raspberry Pi Install, Cannot Install RcloneView

General
1

So I just spun up a 100% fresh Raspberry Pi with the latest Debian OS, its been updated, and I BELIEVE I installed Rclone correctly… however I followed this guide:

But it gives immediate errors… such as:

dpkg: error: cannot access archive ‘rcloneview_*_arm64.deb’: No such file or directory

Looks like the information there is wrong, so I was able to use wget to pull down the latest, ok cool so then I ran:

sudo dpkg -i rclone_view-1.4.1+1-linux-aarch64.deb

I think it worked, but then it said something like “Sorry to see you go.” and then when running: /usr/share/rclone_view/rclone_view

(which is also wrong in the guide) I just get this error:

(rclone_view:2133): Atk-CRITICAL **: 12:49:58.514: atk_socket_embed: assertion ‘plug_id != NULL’ failed

Gdk-Message: 12:49:58.881: Unable to load from the cursor theme

So I gave up… hoping there is an updated guide, is there a way to roll back and clean up the files I did install probably improperly and run a script again to so it all right? Is the naming of the files/program changed? Can the guide be updated?

Please help! I was planning to purchase but glad I tested first as this didnt go so well :frowning:

Hi,

Thank you for the detailed report — we’re sorry the guide let you down.

The ATK/Gdk errors are not an install problem — they’re a display problem:

Atk-CRITICAL: atk_socket_embed: assertion ‘plug_id != NULL’ failed
Gdk-Message: Unable to load from the cursor theme

These are GTK runtime errors that happen when a graphical app launches with no display server available. A fresh Debian Lite / headless Raspberry Pi has no X11 or Wayland session. RcloneView has nowhere to render. It will always fail like this on a headless Pi unless you set up a display.

Cleanup:

Remove the broken install:

sudo dpkg -r rclone_view

or if that doesn’t work:

sudo dpkg --purge rclone_view

Verify it’s gone:

dpkg -l | grep rclone_view

We appreciate you testing before purchasing and taking the time to document this so thoroughly. The fix will be live shortly.

Apologies again for the frustration.
