Hello, help-guix!
I've discovered a problem with Kicad starting with version 10 some
months ago, and today I've tracked down the problem and I think I've
solved it. Since I'm not at all confident enough to open an issue, I
wanted to discuss it here first and see your opinion.
In summary, Kicad 9 is fine, but then I start a shell with Kicad 10
(guix pull'ed and system reconfigured a couple of hours ago):
```
guix shell kicad kicad-cern-libraries kicad-doc kicad-footprints
kicad-packages3d kicad-symbols kicad-templates
```
Launch Kicad, and it receives a SIGTRAP (I could not see any other
message, only SIGTRAP line in dmesg, but probably it got logged
somewhere, I don't know) when I open the "Plugin and Content Manager"
from the main menu. After debugging, I discovered it was glib aborting,
and it was trying to log a missing org.gnome.system.proxy schema.
I then located those files in the package gsettings-desktop-schemas,
added it to my guix shell, and it fixed the problem.
Probably if I had updated my installed kicad package v9 -> v10,
theĀ gsettings-desktop-schemas would be in the profile and I wouldn't see
the error, but I think it should also work in a guix shell, right? Maybe
this is a problem with my OS configuration? Or maybe a missing
dependency in the official package?
Thanks!
Dani.
