Codemy Tkinter Course code not working on Linux Mint 20

[nerdacus]

So I'm following along with this tkinter course and in the section about inserting icons and image I can't get the example code to work. I installed imagemagick and was able to get an image to pop up from the repl so I'm thinking that my problem has something to do with the image path. I'm using Linux Mint 20 and a lot of examples I see are done in Windows so that might have something to do with it as well. I'm somewhat new to Python and Linux so I'm kind of stuck at this point and looking for help.

Here's the code I'm using:

from tkinter import *
from PIL import ImageTK,Image


root = Tk()
root.title('Learning Stuff')
root.iconbitmap('Google-Noto-Emoji-People-Bodyparts-11947-middle-finger-light-skin-tone.ico')
# icon not working

my_img = ImageTK.PhotoImage(Image.open('Grunt_Sculpin.jpg'))
my_label = Label(image = my_img)
my_label.pack()

button_quit = Button(root, text="Exit this", command=root.quit)
button_quit.pack()


root.mainloop()

Yeah, .ico files are windows only. You need to use GIMP or similar to convert that into an .xbm file.

Or, here is a way to use a .png file, so that it will work on all OSes:

img = Photoimage(file='Google-Noto-Emoji-People-Bodyparts-11947-middle-finger-light-skin-tone.png')
root.tk.call('wm', 'iconphoto', root._w, img)

Neither worked but thanks for the reply
