Bottles Error Fix

Commenting Out a Line Of Code Fixes The Problem

I’m posting this because I couldn’t find any solutions online.

The Issue

I’m running Gnome on Arch Linux and I’m using bottles to run a couple of windows games.

I updated my computer and ran into: TypeError: Gtk.CssProvider.load_from_data() takes exactly 3 arguments (2 given)

Bottles froze at Bottles is starting and right after it downloaded 3 small packages. Downgrading to the previous version of bottles didn’t work, so it’s probably not a problem with bottles, but some system/gtk package versioning issues.

The Fix

The fix was to run Bottles in the command line via bottles, and to wait for it to give the error.

Open the file that has the error and add a # in front of the line creating the problem. Bottles suddenly works perfectly fine afterwards.

Also, if you have the same issue but this doesn’t work, in my case this was just a graphical/gtk issue and could have been avoided by using the bottles-cli commands to run applications and interact with your bottles.

I hope this helped!
