Run a bash script via GTK Button

Hi all!

For a small project I would like to build a small “Hello” tool that links all important docs and can start a script from the home directory.
The issue: When I click the button “run postinstall” nothing happens. What am I doing wrong?
The “Update System Button” is working as expected

code:

import webbrowser
import subprocess
import os

gi.require_version("Gtk", "3.0")
gi.require_version("Vte", "2.91")
from gi.repository import Gtk, Gdk, Vte, GLib

class WelcomeWindow(Gtk.Window):

Hi,

Does the “Update System” button work?
If yes, maybe the environment is not properly setup, try adding the -l option to bash.

Is on_postinstall_button_clicked() being executed?

Hi there,

thanks for the reply.

the update button works as expected. the “run postinstall” give me just this output:

python3 welcome.py

  alignment = Gtk.Alignment.new(0.5, 0.5, 0, 0)

the button press seems to work, but it does nothing
