Issue with Gtk3 apps in KDE4

I am also having this same issue with Ubuntu for some reason.
I recently got an arch Linux install up and going on my new laptop, but I am having one huge issue
I have the oxygen-gtk3 packages installed for both my Arch and Ubuntu install. Theoretically it should work, but for some reason my GTK3 apps aren't being themed in KDE4, they're using that redmond-like fugly default theme.
How might I fix this, I've tried everything from symlinking to compiling it again, nothing seems to work.
I suspect it might be an auto-start application to apply them that isn't working.

Well lets put it this way
I'm not gonna switch out Empathy for Pidgin (Pidgin stores passwords in plaintext in a easily accessible folder/file unless you needlessly use a kwallet plugin, which you shouldn't need to do.Empathy does not store said passwords in plaintext, and I believe it uses the Gnome Wallet).
Alot of programs got updated to gtk3, and require gtk3 themes. Guess how many gtk3 themes exist that aren't recolors/crappy edits of the default one...not a whole ton.
Ubuntu actually requires GTK3 now with Unity or even with Gnome. Alot of other distros will likely follow suit.
I could stick with GTK2 if Arch were still my secondary distro, but I now have a dedicated machine for Arch and I don't use it too often. I just tested the theme engine for oxygen-gtk3 on it to see if it worked, and like my Main Ubuntu/Debain Sid machine which I'm using the same problem with the Win98-esque theme on GTK3 apps in KDE occured.
I'm gonna try that fix you mentioned Teho, see if it works. It's obviously not a distro-specific problem.
Hawt damn Teho! Your solution worked like a charm! I could honestly hug you right now, you've fixed the last issue currently plauging both my Arch and Ubuntu installs. Thanks!
How do I change this topics prefix to solved?

  • Issue with the App Store showing up blank.

    Issue with the App Store, it will not let me search for new apps.  The screen is blank.  The update section and features section works, but it will not let me search for new apps. I have restarted my phone and no changes. The newest update to the iphones when the iphone 5 came out, i think, messed up this app.  When i am looking at how to fix it, it tells me to delete it and try again, but the App store is not a deletable app.  Any ideas why my App store, specifically the search section of this app doesn't work?

    I suspect it is on Apple's side of things. Mine was blank too, but now it works again. Fixed itself one morning.

    It sounds like you may have multiple problems, but none of them are likely to be caused by malware.
    First, the internet-related issues may be related to adware or a network compromise. I tend to lean more towards the latter, based on your description of the problem. See:
    http://www.adwaremedic.com/kb/baddns.php
    http://www.adwaremedic.com/kb/hackedrouter.php
    If investigation shows that this is not a network-specific issue, then it's probably adware. See my Adware Removal Guide for help finding and removing it. Note that you mention AdBlock as if it should have prevented this, but it's important to understand that ad blockers do not protect you against adware in any way. Neither would any kind of anti-virus software, which often doesn't detect adware.
    As for the other issues, it sounds like you've got some serious corruption. I would be inclined to say it sounds like a failing drive, except it sounds like you just got it replaced. How did you get all your files back after the new drive was installed?

  • Since recent upgrade, I can't see any of my projects in Shutterfly. Their customer support says it may be issue with Java app and Adobe Flash Player

    see above-- are there known issues with these apps?

    Your Java player (if relevant) is not clearly indicated in your plugins list, and your Flash player is several versions behind. If Apple has an update site, you might check that first. Mozilla's site is here: http://www.mozilla.org/plugincheck/

  • I have an iphone 4. Recently I have issues with certain apps closing immediately once they are open. ie Email. Tried re-booting entire thing and still having issues. Any one else having this issue or a fix for it?

    Delete background Apps from memory and then Reset.
    To Delete background Apps, double click Home button, in the bar at bottom, hold down on an App Icon until the minus sign appears, tap all the minus signs, until all background Apps are cleared from memory. Then Reset, hold both Home and Power buttons until the iPhone begins to restart itself, ignor the 'slide to power off' let the iPhone restart itself. Usually takes about 10 seconds of holding both buttons.

  • Issues with Server.app

    hello together,
    I have some issues with Server.app.
    I connect to a server in our local network.
    In the Users tab I see only local users of the server, not the network accounts
    When I choose "Manage Network Accounts" from the "Manage" Menu, it tells me to configure the server as a network directory, but it is already configured as such.
    When I hit "next" and enter account information for the directory admin it tells me that this server is already configured to manage network accounts.
    How can I view and mange the network accounts again?
    Thanks in advance

    Just fyi, I was not able to resolve this on my migrated server. Every time when I imported the OD backup from 10.5.8 Server.app couldn't load the user or group list and issues an error message with "error 5000" or something. Check if you have that in your logs, too. If so, Server.app is no longer able to authenticate against the OD. There are several threads regarding this 5000-error, none of them worked for me. Usually this happens when the hostname, IP or something in the OD setup changes and the agreed keys no longer work for authentication. As mentioned, I never managed to get that to work again and had to use a fresh OD and create the users from a list (without pwd). Not very charming.

  • I'm having issues with audio apps randomly stopping and starting. Also, Siri just randomly opens. For example, podcasts will stop playing in the middle of a playback. Do you have any thoughts?

    So I noticed the problem with the app iHeart Radio. While listening to the app, it would stop playing without any noticeable issues. For example, I'm on a WiFi network, operating it where I normally had no issues. I deleted the app because if became so annoying. I now notice the same issues with podcast app when playing back a downloaded program. Also, more than a few times of the day Siri will just randomly open. I am wondering what options do I have to discover the problem. COuld it be the most recent IOS update? I don't want to have to restore an old backup and loose data.

  • Problem trying to update to iPhone OS 3.1.3 and issues with paid apps

    Hi,
    I bought my iPhone 3GS when my old dumbphone died and have thouroughly enjoyed the experience. I've been having a couple of minor issues which I've been wondering about of late:
    1) I know the 3.1.3 update came out some time ago, but I sync my iPhone and it won't ever update. I tried to manually do it (i.e. pressing the button that says "Check for update" in iTunes->iPhone but it just says "3.1.2 is current". At first I thought it was something to do with the apps because around the time the update came out an error message appeared when I synced that said something about the apps not being able to be installed. I was perplexed because my iPhone had all its apps working, so I thought maybe that's why it won't update and clicked on "More Information". I followed the instructions to save all the apps in my computer, then deauthorize and reauthorize my computer and sync my iPhone. This solved the error message issue, but it still won't update. So, is it something with where I live (Puerto Rico)? I want the update, but I just can't get it.
    2) Whenever I try to buy an app whether it's thru the app store on the iPhone or on iTunes, I can't because apparently it won't let me use my debit card. It's a Visa debit card and I have used it for all my internet purchases over the last year and it's always worked. I contacted a support person at Apple but all they could tell me was that the bank was for some reason not allowing them to access the funds, and that I should just buy a gift card and use that. Anybody else have this kind of problem?
    Thanks!

    Well? Does anyone know what I can do to upgrade to 3.1.3???

  • How I solved issues with Mail.app and Spotlight

    Even though my upgrade from Tiger 10.4.10 to Leopard was painless, the new OS X did have a few issues that had bothered me:
    *Mail.app: * Every now and then, the app would behave like on its first startup, saying it needs to import my mail before I can work with it. What's more, at times I've had the phenomen that messages would appear empty on the preview pane and sometimes even when being opened.
    *Spotlight: * Even though I let the indexing finish on the first day of working under Leopard, every now and then it seemed to start all over. First, I thought it's the NAS being indexed but it just went on to restart indexing each time I thought I had let it finish.
    *Free disk space: * I tried to bring the usage of my homedirectory down so I would have enough free disk space to switch FileVault off and then back on so I could start using TimeMachine. But whatever I did, the free disk space just wouuldn't inrease - it just stayed the same (yes, I did let the system recover space on shutdown).
    The *free disk space* issue made me think there was a problem with my disk but repeated runs with the Disk Utility yielded nothing...not for about a month. Yesterday I got some warnings about 'damaged but not repaired' but according to an Apple doc those could be safely ignored.
    Somebody suggested to apply the combo update for 10.5.1 as that could solve some issues so I went ahead - after all, the update had already been applied earlier so just re-installing wouldn't hurt much, right?
    Wrong.
    The install of the combo update went smoothly, FileVault recovered some space on shutdown but upon restart I couldn't log in anymore: My homedirectory was damaged. The friendly OS X Leopard offered to repair it but soon later reported back that it failed doing so.
    Now, to cut a long story short - deleting the affected user's account and using a different user on the same machine (without FileVault) solved any issues I've had. Mail now works like a charm (despite 40k+ messages with attachments), spotlight doesn't restart all it's indexing and disk space is shown correctly again. Also the odd corrupt file copy I had experienced occasionally (especially with large files) was gone.
    My advise to anyone who didn't de-activate FileVault under Tiger to make the switch to Leopard: Even if you think it worked, switch it off and let Leopard set it up again. You may think things went right...but the above shows that there may be issues with it that you may blame other apps for...but they're probably not guilty at all.
    I don't think the combo update actually caused FileVault to turn corrupt, it was just what broke the camel's neck. While it's no fun to lose your homedirectory, I'm glad the underlying issue finally came to light.

    Thanks to this thread, it's been solved.

  • Issue with iPad: apps not working

    Hi all. Also iPod and iPhone user, I just bought the iPad2. But, differently from the other ones I'm having big troubles with the Apps on iPad. The icon is getting on the screen after downloading, but no downloads ensue. Only thing I get is "waiting...", and I can't use any new App. Same story with updates of existing Apps. Once update is agreed upon, the App goes in the same kind of "limbo mode".
    Who can help out and resolve this issue?!
    Many thanks already!
    Cheers
    Kristof

    Finish the download in iTunes on your computer.
    Launch iTunes and go to Store>Check for Available Downloads. If you have one available, go ahead and download it to the computer. Maybe that will open up the pipeline on the iPad. You can sync the app or update to the iPad. Or if it was an app clogging the download stream, you can download it again on the iPad without syncing via the purchased tab in the App store.
    If that doesn't work, try a couple of basics.
    Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.

  • Command key issues with some apps after highlighting with trackpad

    When I attempt to use command-c to copy from Microsoft Office or Lotus Notes I often get nothing. I've gotten in the habit of pressing command-c 2 or 3 times to make sure I got it. Its not physical keyboard issue since I do not have this problem with other apps and I tested a BT keyboard as well. I've noticed that other command key sequences also get dropped, e.g. command-u for underline. I've also had the delete key get dropped. It feels like Office and Notes are just to slow to respond and somehow lose the key, this frequently happens after I highlight something and quickly press command-something.
    I used tap to touch. If I tap tap drag tap then command-whatever it appears to work. But tap tap drag command-whatever does not appear to terminate the drag. Is there a way to make Office/Notes react faster? Or tune the touch pad? Hack OS/X?
    Thanks.

    And after all is said and done, you may very well need to restore the device as new and start from the beginning again, especially if the glitch is contained in your previous backup. Restoring from that backup (if it contains the glitch) will also restore the glitch. This is the reason for possibly restoring as new.
    Make note of all your Settings (write them all down, preferably using a PC/notepad type program), backup all your music & apps and any other important information you will lose by restoring as new. As far as text messages go, you may not be able to back those up manually (I believe you can but you'd need to purchase additional software for the PC/Mac) and will likely lose them.
