"Change GTK2 and Icon Themes" not working

Hi, this problem relates to these threads:

http://bbs.archbang.org/viewtopic.php?id=1662
http://forum.mepiscommunity.org/viewtop ... 40&t=27875

***************************************************

You'll want to see some command output:

$ lxappearance
** (lxappearance:3743): DEBUG: cursor theme name: DMZ-Black
Segmentation fault

$ dpkg -s libgtk2.0-0|grep '^Version'
Version: 2.24.8-2

***************************************************

I'm still having the issue, even though the ArchBang forum said that up-to-date GTK fixes the problem.

Any suggestions?

Booted up my Amrel RT 686 with AntiX 8.5 i686 core install with LXDE to respond to this post. I am just curious is all.

Code:

harry@Biker:~$ lxappearance

Code:

@Biker:~$ dpkg -s libgtk2.0-0|grep '^Version'
Version: 2.24.4-3

Running

Code:

$ inxi -F
System:    Host: Biker Kernel: 2.6.38-7.dmz.1-liquorix-686 i686 (32 bit) 
           Desktop LXDE (Openbox 3.4.11.2) Distro: antiX-core-686-a1 20 June 2010

My version of libgtk is older than yours but lxappearence works ok (I have a few gtk themes added also)

Not sure where yours went wrong.

Thanks, rokytnji.

I've been on AntiX for about a month now .... I've done a few "upgrade-dist" since I installed .... but one of them about a week ago brought back a pile of new packages ... and it was after this that lxappearance broke.

Would it hurt to re-install lxappearance? Not sure what else to try.

@roky core has the repos set to stable, the lxappearance from testing and sid is broken. if it works for you, i think you have sergio's version of it.

@alfred_e_newman enable the stable repos in /etc/apt/sources.list and as root in a terminal use

Code:

apt-get update
apt-get install lxappearance/stable

or download the package from here http://packages.debian.org/squeeze/i386 ... e/download , open a terminal as root in the download directory and run

Code:

dpkg -i lxappearance_0.4.0-1_i386.deb

either way is fine.
to hold on the package from updating use

Code:

echo lxappearance hold|dpkg --set-selections

once a new version of lxappearance hits testing you take it off hold with

Code:

echo lxappearance install|dpkg --set-selections

once you are done you can disable the stable repos, i have a feeling that they are all ready enabled by anti.
some reading on the commands i used http://manual.aptosid.com/en/sys-admin-apt-en.htm
good luck.
