Theme Manager in Ubuntu Not Working-Hanging

Hi, and thanks for the report.

It would be great if you could attach a backtrace, there's some help here (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Backtrace) telling you how to do that.

If you need a hand don't hesitate to ask.

Cheers,

Matt

Hello Matt,

Sure, I think I can do this. I will send you the backtrace in a few.

Thanks!

Cheers

Mariano

Hi again,

It's gnome-theme-manager I believe. I should of sai, sorry about that. :)

Cheers,

Matt

Hello Matt,

Here is the file. The problem is that the report says that the program
exited normally. The Theme manager did not work at all, but the exit button
is not hanging so I believe that the report is not seeing what is happening
when you open the theme manager. For instance, other programs crashed when I
was doing the report (Firefox and Volume Control). Moreover, my theme
changed randomly and now I cannot set it back to the Human Theme!

Let me know how I can help.

Thanks!

Cheers

Mariano

Hi,

I think you might be missing a bit of the system that some bits use.

If you could paste the results of 'dpkg -l libgtk2.0-0' (paste that into the terminal without the quotations) that might help.

If it says that it can't find it, try 'sudo aptitude install libgtk2.0-0' (in the again) and then retry using the them manager.

Cheers,

Matt

Hi,

Here is what I got:

loslorenzos@ubuntu:~$ dpkg -l libgtk2.0-0

|/ Err?=(none)/Hold/Reinst-required/X=both-problems (Status,Err:

||/ Name Version Description

ii libgtk2.0-0 2.10.9-0ubuntu The GTK+ graphical user interface library

I did first sudo aptitude install

I tried to open the theme-manager from the control center and from the
console and in both cases I got the same problem.

Any clue?

Thanks!

Mariano

I'm not quite sure what happening to be honest. I'm going to try to get someone to give us a hand, someone else might have an idea.

Cheers,

Matt

Hello Matt,

That would be great. As I said in the report, I started with a fresh
Kubuntu (edgy and feisty) installation, then I installed the
meta-package "ubuntu-desktop". So if someone else can repeat the steps
I am quite positive you will be able to reproduce the error. Using the
same PCs with Dapper I did not experience such a problem.

BTW, I set KDE as the default desktop during the installation of Ubuntu-desktop.

Thanks a lot for your help!!!!

Cheers

Mariano

Hi,

Would you be able to run gnome-theme-manager in the terminal?

When you do that it might print some useful errors.

Thanks,

Matt

yes I did, I will send you what it says later today (I am in my office
right now)

Cheers

Hello,

Please note that it is not a problem exclusive of Feisty. I have the
same problem with Edgy, which has no control center.

Cheers

Hi,

Okay, I'm guessing it's a problem to do with installing it via ubuntu-desktop rather than the actual control-center or theme-manager itself, as you said earlier that other apps were affected.

I'll mark the source package as ubuntu-desktop until I know for sure that it isn't.

Thanks,

Matt

Thanks!

may be one "unsolved" dependency not being picked up correctly?

Here is what I get in the terminal when opening the gnome-theme-manager:

In Feisty the "volume control" also crashes as soon as Gnome
boots...but maybe that's not related? (that does not happen with
edgy).

Thanks!

Hi,

Theres some advice here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=263816 for people who have a similar error to you. It might help but then again it might not, it worth a shot at least.

Cheers,

Matt

Thanks!

I'll certainly try it.

Nop,

Was somebody else able to reproduce this issue?

Not that I've heard of I'm afraid. I'm not sure how much help I'd be able to give you any more, I'm completely out of ideas. I'll reassign this to the desktop-bugs team, someone there might be able to help better.

Cheers,

Matt,

Thanks a lot for helping anyway. I am impress by the work going on in
the launchpad, it is simple amazing.

Hello,

anyone working on this one?

Please let me know how I can help.

Bets regards

Mariano

Hello

I attached the crash report I obtained from Edgy when I opened the gnome-control-center

Cheers

Mariano

It doesn't look like anyone else has picked up on this bug. I'll set it to the control centre, from that backtrace it looks like that is a big part of the problem.

Thanks,

Matt

Thanks!

Does it happen if you uninstall the gtk2-engines-gtk-qt package?

Let me try it home tonight.

I'll keep you updated

Thanks!

Sorry for all the emailing...

Now the Theme Manager Works! Do you know why it is? Should not the
installation of Ubuntu-Desktop solve that issue directly?

The crash was, Opera? I believe?

Thanks for your help!

The ubuntu-desktop install packages for the Ubuntu desktop, it doesn't remove kubuntu if installed. That crash looks like another bug from the gtk2-engines-gtk-qt package which is something used by kubuntu to make GTK applications looking like KDE
