Missing Python VTE 2.91 support

Table of Contents

Description

The VTE support is needed to run the Windows application installation wizard and CrossOver bottle management tool. The user interface uses it to show the output of the command line tools it runs.
This is not needed to run Windows applications.

Resolution

On CrossOver 17 and greater, the simplest solution to fix this issue is to run:

/path/to/cxoffice/bin/cxfix python-vte-2.91

Or add --show-all to see how CrossOver would fix it on your platform and others.

Alternatively you may try one of the commands below.

  • Arch Linux : pacman -Syu vte3
  • Debian : apt-get install gir1.2-vte-2.91
  • Fedora : yum install vte291
  • openSUSE : zypper install typelib-1_0-Vte-2.91

Notes:

  • cxfix --show-all may have more up-to-date fixes.
  • The commands usually also apply to derived distributions. So for instance a fix for Debian is typically also applicable to Ubuntu, Linux Mint, Deepin and Pop! OS. Similarly a fix for Fedora likely also works on Red Hat Enterprise Linux, CentOS, etc.
