ClamTk does not run scan

[Paul W]

Impact
------
The bug makes ClamTk unusable for its major purpose: manual start of a scan of a file or directory, and analysis (reputation check).

Test Case
---------
1) run "clamtk" in the terminal
2) click either on "Scan a file" or "Scan a directory" or "Analysis" in the ClamTk GUI

Observe that the file selection window does not open and following is output into the terminal:

*** unhandled exception in callback:
*** FATAL: invalid GtkDialogFlags value no-separator, expecting: modal / GTK_DIALOG_MODAL, destroy-with-parent / GTK_DIALOG_DESTROY_WITH_PARENT, use-header-bar / GTK_DIALOG_USE_HEADER_BAR at /usr/share/perl5/Gtk3.pm line 1136.
*** ignoring at /usr/share/perl5/Gtk3.pm line 572.

Similarly, no scan starts when a file or directory is "opened" with ClamTk using the context menu, intending to start the test on it.

With the version 6.03-3 of the package from Impish the issue does not occur (tested by manually downloading the DEB of Impish and installing it in Hirsute). Attached patch is the original one, as used there.

Regression Potential
--------------------
The change compared to the current version 6.03-1 is minimal. Currently, ClamTk is not usable for its major intended purpose (manual scan start, analysis). So, it can hardly get worse.

Original Description
--------------------
Window for scanning directories does not open when the "scan a directory" button is pressed.

Hi,

This was fixed several versions ago.

https://gitlab.com/dave_m/clamtk/-/wikis/Home

Follow the Downloads links, download the latest .deb, double-click to install.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

Same issue here, same output when ClamTk is started in a terminal.

Ubuntu MATE Release 21.04 (Hirsute Hippo) 64-bit. ClamTk 6.03-1 from default repository.

If, according to previous comment, ClamTk has been fixed, then its Ubuntu package needs to be updated, as this bug makes it absolutely useless - it can't scan neither when started from the GUI, nor via file context menu.

[John100 (john100)]

P.S.: Same happens not only with "Scan a directory", but also with "Scan a file" and "Analysis".

Signatures update works.

[John100 (john100)]

According to https://gitlab.com/dave_m/clamtk/blob/master/CHANGES, this issue seems to have been fixed on version 6.08 - 20210218.

Related Debian bug report (seems to have been erroneously closed, as the package has not been updated): https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=981384 .

Hi @John100,

Please try 6.13 from https://gitlab.com/dave_m/clamtk/-/wikis/Home .

I'm sorry, I don't control the Debian or Ubuntu repos.

Just download the latest deb, double-click to install.

respectfully,
Dave M

Hi @Dave M,

Thank you very much for your feedback!

@Ubuntu repos maintainer: According to the Debian ClamTk package maintainer, the version in Debian testing/unstable should work. They back-ported the changes and verified that scanning files is possible. That means that ClamTk version 6.03-3, which is currently part of the future 21.10 release and fixes the corresponding Debian bug 981384 (in version 6.03-2) according to its changelog, should work.

==> It would be great if that version 6.03-3 was back-ported to the current 21.04 release, to fix this issue there.

P.S.: I downloaded the version 6.03-3 of Ubuntu 21.10 from https://packages.ubuntu.com/impish/all/clamtk/download and installed it in Ubuntu 21.04, and the issue disappeared with that.

Thanks to @Dave M for the fix!
