This problem is way over my head & I'd appreciate some help. I still have issues with a faulty install. Spyrule & oldos2er have & still are trying hard to help solve the issue(s), documented here-
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1431266
Things like Software Manager, Update Manager & Hardware Drivers are listed as they should be but any attempt to open these fails. Something didn't install properly but somehow the system thinks it is. Trying repairs by booting in Recovery Manager mode, update & upgrade in the terminal indicate everything is there with nothing to install.
And, it affects other software, too. I tried to launch Rhythmbox from Applications/Multimedia/Rhythmbox. It tried but never opened. Then I loaded a song & tried to play it with Rhythmbox. Same thing. Then in the terminal it typed Rhythmbox, enter & got;
george@george-desktop:~$ rhythmbox
** (rhythmbox:3956): CRITICAL **: atk_object_set_name: assertion `name != NULL' failed
** (rhythmbox:3956): CRITICAL **: atk_object_set_name: assertion `name != NULL' failed
(rhythmbox:3956): Rhythmbox-WARNING **: Could not import pygtk
ImportError: No module named pygtk
Segmentation fault
george@george-desktop:~$
In Synaptic Manager I un-installed & reinstalled but fared no better. Weird!
Any thoughts or suggestions are appreciated!
