Gtk-ERROR

[saedz]

Hello!

I had a partial update on my ubuntu 11.04, the Nautilus doesn't work properly anymore and returns the following error:

Gtk-ERROR **: GTK+ 2.x symbols detected. Using GTK+ 2.x and GTK+ 3 in the same process is not supported
aborting...
Aborted

what am I gonna do now?

cheers

you have installed both gtk 2 and gtk 3 ...you must remove one .
remove gtk 3 . then try again

[saedz]

Hi

I tried to uninstall gtk 3 but it seems it is not installed

sudo apt-get remove gtk2[tab]
gtk2-engines gtk2-engines-murrine gtk2-engines-pixbuf

in the software center I have:
libcanberra-gtk3-0
libdbusmenu-gtk3
