10.04 Emerald Theme Managere Crashes

[brad1138]

I just upgraded to 10.04 (actually had to dl 10.04 iso and do full install, upgrading from 9.10 crashed). I am trying to use "Emerald Theme Manager" (which is a pain aside from the problem I am having) When I click on a theme I dl'd and installed, E.T.M. just vanishes, the theme does not switch and I am done. It takes about 1 second after clicking the theme and then gone, no error message or error reporting message.

Any Ideas?

Thanks,
Brad

Start the ETM with terminal and note any error messages that appear if and when it crashes. That may give some clues.

Ok, here is a copy of the messages, it is BIG

Hope that helps

I'm afraid that is not a lot of help, to me at least, though others may be able to assist more. I was hoping it would suggest some missing library or something similar.

All I can suggest is that you completely remove ETM with synaptic or purge with terminal and then try reinstalling. See what others say.

Thanks anyway, how would I purge with terminal? I know about terminal, but not how to purge w/it

I uninstalled "emerald" in SPM, restarted, reinstalled it, restarted again.... and same thing.:confused:

[no_angst]

it's a bug. been there since alpha... =(

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/emerald/+bug/498130

[brad1138]

I tried "emerald --replace" which i found after Googling for the prob. It switched the theme to the theme I had selected in ETM just before it crashed. I had to run it in "run application" instead of "terminal", because in terminal, as soon as I exited term it would kill the change.

It is definitely a poor work around but it will work for now until someone has a better solution or Ubuntu fixes it.

Thanks,
Brad

i did alt+f2 and wrote "emerald --replace" and it works now with no problem

Mine still crashes but it also changes the theme.

[brad1138]

Actually I was wrong, it is just replacing the window boarders, not icons or anything else. :(

[shutdown -h now]

I have the same problem with emerald in 10.04, without the crashes tho. It only replaces the window borders.

EDIT: No wait, it does crash when I select a theme.

[grumpy.medic]

Same here... crashes as soon as I select a theme. I wonder if Emerald will catch up to Lucid.

Cheers

[Lylex11]

I'm running Lucid and have same issue as described above ... emerald theme manager crashes when I select a theme, but the theme is activated. I would like to access the theme controls.

[diskmaster23]

I am surprised there is no solution to this. Anybody care to post a solution?

[Frogs Hair]

There was/is a PPA that resolved some problems in 11.04 , but Emerald has been completely removed from 11.10. Any solutions for Emerald on 10.04 would be found on older blog posts and articles .

Closed, necromancy.
