Public bug reported: Zenity was updated a few days ago. Until then there was a bug with --checkbox, which is fixed now :-) But another bug was introduced: zenity's option to render html does not work. A similar bug was squashed in OpenSuse last year, and is still there in Fedora and Centos. But --html works in all versions of the Ubuntu flavours from 12.04 LTS 'Precise' to 15,04 'Vivid', and worked in 'Wily' until this last update of/to zenity 3.16.3.
The error output states: "This option is not available. Please see --help for all possible usages." The bug that was fixed last year was fixed in OpenSuse by compiling with WebKit. Maybe that works also now, maybe another tool is necessary now to add capability for html with the option --html. Arx Cruz knows which tool to use (if no longer WebKit). You can run the following bash shell-script to test if it works or not. ----- #!/bin/bash echo "<h1>HTML headline</h1> Hello World" | zenity --text-info --html --filename=/dev/stdin \ --width=$(($wadd+640)) --height=$(($hadd+400)) \ --title "$btitle" \ --ok-label="Go" --cancel-label="Quit" \ --checkbox="Check this box if you are ready to go" ----- It should create a window similar to that in the attached file 'correct-rendering-html-precise.png' ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 15.10 Package: zenity 3.16.3-1ubuntu1 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 4.1.0-2.2-generic 4.1.3 Uname: Linux 4.1.0-2-generic i686 ApportVersion: 2.18-0ubuntu5 Architecture: i386 CasperVersion: 1.362 CurrentDesktop: LXDE Date: Sun Jul 26 19:29:08 2015 LiveMediaBuild: Lubuntu 15.10 "Wily Werewolf" - Alpha i386 (20150725) SourcePackage: zenity UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) ** Affects: zenity (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: apport-bug i386 wily ** Attachment added: "correct-rendering-html-precise.png" https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1478386/+attachment/4434345/+files/correct-rendering-html-precise.png -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to zenity in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1478386 Title: zenity's option to render html does not work To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/zenity/+bug/1478386/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
