btnx won't start

[Musigreg]

installation OK, MX Revolution config OK.
Then restart of Btnx for changing a button and it won't restart.
Tried reinstalling, tried rebooting... Nothing. It won't work anymore.

Tried the terminal:

~$ btnx-config
/usr/share/btnx-config/btnx-config.glade

(btnx-config:2727): Gtk-WARNING **: GtkSpinButton: setting an adjustment with non-zero page size is deprecated

(btnx-config:2727): Gtk-WARNING **: GtkSpinButton: setting an adjustment with non-zero page size is deprecated

(btnx-config:2727): Gtk-WARNING **: GtkSpinButton: setting an adjustment with non-zero page size is deprecated
Warning: configuration file for configuration "Default" does not exist. Deleting configuration.
Abandon

Then I tried:

~$ btnx
Le programme « btnx » n'est pas installé. Vous pouvez l'installer en saisissant :
sudo apt-get install btnx
(Meaning it's not installed and that I should get it)

So:

~$ sudo apt-get install btnx

New packages installed and then:

Starting btnx : Button Extension - mouse button rerouter daemon
 btnx: uinput modprobed successfully.
 btnx: Opening config file: /etc/btnx/btnx_config_Default
 btnx: Could not read the config file: No such file or directory
 btnx: Configuration file error.
btnx failed to start (error code 150) - try btnx-config

Hope I detailed enough...

I tried something I found on the web, and it worked.

"try removing /etc/btnx/btnx_manager and /etc/btnx_config_Default then running the config again
sudo rm /etc/btnx/btnx_manager
sudo rm btnx_config_Default sudo btnx-config If that does not work then try reinstalling the package
sudo apt-get --reinstall install btnx btnx-configthen
sudo btnx-config"

That's the post I found. But I couldn't go further than "sudo rm /etc/btnx/btnx_manager" and then I started btnx from the terminal, and it's OK. It works.

Apparently it came from the default config file it didn't find, and deleting "btnx_manager" seemed to solve the issue.
I'll try to make this all post resolved.

I'm writing to confirm the method above. It works!
After force closing btnx-config, it won't open any more. Restart, purge remove, re-install won't work.

You have to delete 2 configs files: /etc/btnx/btnx_manager and /etc/btnx_config_Default.
In folder /etc/btnx, there's another file /etc/btnx/events, don't delete this "events" file.
If you do, just reinstall the packages.

Then btnx-config will work again.
This is one of the counter-intuitive hassles of linux world that make me jump back to Windows, MacOS.
