<ofrnxmr:xmr.mx> "Just installed Monero GUI on my Fedora linux desktop, but when I get to the naming the wallet screen, the Next button is grayed out... "

<ofrnxmr:xmr.mx> ive seen 2 reportsof this on 1851, the first user fixed by switch to 1850

we added a check for if dir is writable

maybe it has some side effects on some systems?

ohh is it maybe flatpak?

ofrnxmr could you ask for more details?

<plowsof:matrix.org> walletname does call verify here yes selsta? github.com/plowsof/monero-gui/blob/…7/wizard/WizardWalletInput.qml#L174

<plowsof:matrix.org> not the correct location^ this is the save path, not the file name, i assume there still is a verify function for it

<plowsof:matrix.org> renaming the ~/Monero folder to Monero-tmp - but on my install i still see the box for wallet location

<plowsof:matrix.org> note that the screenshot from fedora does not contain the "Wallet location" item which displays the error

<plowsof:matrix.org> the work around for fedora users (if not using flatpak?) would be to pre-create this Monero/wallets folder in home dir - it looks like a visual bug hiding it

<plowsof:matrix.org> but 'why' now?

<plowsof:matrix.org> or gui pre-generates the default folder earlier which would be correct* ignoring the visual for now

<plowsof:matrix.org> or remove the 'exists' check on the verify? if its writeable then it will be created eventually

selsta solved it: simple mode does not display the wallet dir -> fresh install does not have the Monero/wallets folder - no visual bug in fedor

these are all now relevant for the release

no cli release?

(some still need a review)

tobtoht: no there is a bug in the GUI where a monero-gui first time user can't create a wallet because it checks for writable on a non existing folder :/

oof ok

we already had the folder during testing / review so didn't caught it

catch

the new QML test system hopefully reduces such regressions in the future, at least for the wizard

i think that was all

thanks reviewers

thank you will wait a bit for CI to pass and then ask for a tag

👍

also simple mode does not display the dir picker, fixed now (and thus hides the error message they would have seen)

the QML test wizard caught it, very nice

luigi1111: please tag v0.18.5.2 gui (only gui this time, now cli)

Okay
