Gnome hangs when changing theme [SOLVED]

Hey guys,
Don't know if anyone had this problem of if its been posted before so anyways .....
I recently installed Voodoo with kde, gnome & xfce.
My main desktop is KDE but I do use GNOME & XFCE occasionally.
When on KDE I like to be able to change my gtk theme so I installed gtk-qt-engine.
After choosing a theme in the GTK-QT-Engine settings box my gtk apps would adjust accordingly and everything would be fine.
However, when I logged into GNOME and tried to change the GNOME theme .... my desktop would freeze
If I did a ctrl+atl+del I would be taken to gdm but would now get .Xsession errors when trying to re-login.
I would have to login back to KDE, delete the gconf directories and only then was I able to log back into GNOME.
Now the reason I could not change the theme in GNOME was coz the gtk-qt-engine program modified my .gtkrc-2.0 .... and this was causing all the hang ups .... pun intended.
So I edited the gtk-qt-engine modified .gtkrc-2.0 file & commented out everything.
After this GNOME works perfectly and changing themes is now a snap
Hope this helps someone.
Cheers,
hack

Thank you!  This saved my life!  Well, it did not save my life but it was important.   I thought my GNOME was borked and ended up deleting every config and re-installing it before I came across this.  DOH!

  • Macbook Pro Hangs when Changing locations

    Hello Everyone,
    I have a Macbook Pro 2.16 running Leopard 10.5.1 and every now and then when I change network Locations from Wireless access point to anther (WPA Personal to WPA Enterprise or vice versa), the laptop simply hangs?! Mouse stops moving and nothing responds. I need to hold down the power button to restart the button. It's go em really worried as I have am using FileVault and crashing the box like this will like lead to corruption in the FileVault volume. Is anyone else experiencing this? Any suggestions? It's never happened to me in Tiger!

    I have wondered if VMWare fusion is involved simply because it sets up a lot of network devices.
    VMWare isn't necessary for this to happen, since I've had it happen a few times to me, too, but I don't have any of the Windows stuff: Boot Camp, Parallels, or VMWare installed.
    I think you're right that it's only when I switch from wireless to ethernet. I've had a couple of theories along the way, but each time it happens, things seem to be a bit different, so now I'm not sure.
    One interesting thing is that at least once I did manage to get control of the machine (sort of) by logging in via SSH. Because I was in a hurry to get to work, I just shut it down using the Terminal. So I don't know if I could have gotten complete control by killing the login window, for example.
    One thing I've noticed is that it seems to happen shortly after I've rebooted anyway. Yesterday morning I installed a security update and the new iTunes and QuickTime, which meant a reboot. And last night I got this hang when I was getting the computer ready to go to work today. But before I updated yesterday morning, the uptime was over 30 days. So it's not common for me.
    I think, in another post, Gnarlodius mentioned only changing the location via the System Preferences and not having this problem. I may try that for a while.

  • Hanging when changing channels

    I am currently on release 1.9 build 10.95. Ever since the software was "upgraded" I have noticed the following:
    Intermittently, when changing channels, by selecting from the guide, often the system will hang, for up to a minute, before the channel finally changes, almost as if it is waiting for something to time out.
    Intermittently, when I use the remote, the green light will flash on the box showing that a signal has been received, but nothing happens. I may have to issue the command two or three times.
    This has happened on all three of our DVR's - Motorola QIP - 7216 1
    I have reset the box via software, physically reset the box by pulling the power chord, and put new batteries into the remote, numerous times, and the problem persists.
    Is it only me, or has this problem been reported under a different heading?

    Usually, you can turn off a video setting and it speeds up the responce time of the set top box. Try hitting menu - settings - video settings - sd override and selecting off. There are other settings in there but they dont seem to affect the responce time much.

  • Sound is hanging when changing patch.

    Hello.
    The problem is that if i am pressing the sustain pedal while im changing a patch, the last notes in the previous patch stays on. it doesent goes of untill i hit the space bar or panic button.
    Help.
    Could it be that i need to configurw some All notes off when changing patch? Not an idel solution but that would be better than to end upp with a hang in a live situation.

    Im not expessing my self corectly.
    The way i want it to work is as you describe it. The note from the selected patch sustaind untill the pedal is released. Thats the way my master keyboard (Roland A80) works.
    But the problem is that it newer STOPS sustaining ( after patch change, and pedal release).
    Im using a New MBP, New Motu midinterface and a Clavia Stage88 keyboard.
    If MS comes with the sustain feature (and thats what i want), i will check my pedal (polarity?) delet the old pedal and make a new. mayby something whent wrong whan i created the pedal.
    Does that sound like a good plan?

  • My iPod Video hangs when changing track

    Just now, my iPod Video hung when changing to another track... So I had to reset it (something I don't want to do). Does anyone have the same problem?
    By the way, I didn't charge my iPod till it says it's full. How much would it affect the battery capacity? (It only last for about 5 to 6 hours...)

    mine does this too
    and occasionally it hangs (pauses) when changing screens
    also when i click for the album art in full screen it often takes about 5secs+ for it to register

  • [SLVD] MySQL Query Browser (1.2.12) hangs when changing schma/database

    After a rather big upgrade yesterday (see paste below) I have got a problem with MySQL query browser which is found in package mysql-gui-tools. Everything else seems to be okay, but after upgrading mysql-gui-tools from 5.0r12-3 to 5.0r14-1 (..and now, after another update, its at 5.0r14-2) it is no longer able to refresh schema/databases. Every time I try to change/refresh schema in the schema menu to the right the program hangs and I have to kill it. A refresh icon appears as normal to the left of the schema I'm trying to refresh, but that icon too has frozen. I am however able to execute normal SELECT queries etc if I write the full "path" to the table in the SQL query, but when I try a USE query the same thing happens.
    I have done some searching on the Internet about this and found this thread to be interesting. Too bad it's from July 2007..
    I tried to downgrade to the old version of query browser, but then I got this problem:
    /usr/bin/mysql-query-browser-bin: error while loading shared libraries: libmysqlclient_r.so.15: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
    ..So I guess theres a dependency problem here with the old version.
    Has anyone else got any problem with the MySQL Query Browser after upgrade or has any ideas for a solution?

  • Iphoto hangs when changing layout of cards

    Hi,
    I create a card with some pictures in it. When I change the layout all pictures are gone.
    Now I have to exit iphoto ohterwise it hangs.
    Can someone help?
    Sbroesamle

    There seems to be a bug with iPhoto 8.1.2 and Mavericks 10.9.2 on some machines.  Report your problem to Apple via http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphoto.html.  However, since iPhoto is up to 9.5.1 now I doubt if there will be any effort put in by Apple for that version of iPhoto.
    You can upgrade to iPhoto 9.5.1 via the App Store but it will be a paid upgrade.

  • MPD hangs when changing tracks or seeking

    MPD is VERY touchy when I change the current playing track, or seek.
    I've been using ncmpcpp, but I witness the same behavior with other clients too.
    Since I've seen other people mention the same stability issues, I was wondering if anyone came up with a solution for this ?
    I was hoping to use mpd to build my music db, but I 'skim' through a lot of music, so it's not usable to me right now...
    Will appreciate any help.
    Cheers

    Try that link out and try setting it up via user in the alternate setup.  I had issues it running as deamon... This way it will run as a local user and just add it to a start script when you start your .xinitrc or autostart.sh...

  • KDE / gnome hang while starting

    Hi,
    well, KDE and Gnome hang while starting them, when I change back to console, I can read the following:
    xset: bad font path element (#63), possible causes are:
        Directory does not exist or has wrong permissions
        Directory missing fonts.dir
        Incorrect font server address or syntax
    I reinstalled xorg, kde, gnome, but again it simply hangs, xorg starts up normally, but when changing to kde or gnome it hangs
    xfce4, wmi, dr17 run well.
    I didn change any config filel...
    So any idea what could be wrong ?
    thanks

    PS.: Is there a possiblility to let pacman reinstall ALL packages that are already installed ?

  • System hanging when i try to display or change or create a function module?

    Hi Experts,
    My system is hanging when i try to display or change or create a FM using SE37 transaction. I am able to execute SE37 transaction but when i give a FM name which is already existing, the system is getting hanged up. If i give a FM which is not present in the system and try to display it, it gives an error "FM does not exists". I have unistalled the SAP logon and reinstalled it again and restarted my system but still this problem is encountered.
    Can any one please help me in this issue??
    Thanks a lot in Advance!
    Regards,
    Lakshman.

    Hi Prasad,
    Go to se38 transaction and look at  UTILITIES-> Settings-> ABAP editor-> Change front-end editor to old(if it is new) and check once. Hope this solves your problem becuase this is what i have done for my problem and let me know whether the problem has been solved.
    Regards,

  • I forgot my security questions; how can I change them when I can't seem to use my rescue email?

    So I've forgotten my security questions, and for some reason there is no option for me to use my email to change them when editing my apple ID, though many other users seem to find this solving their problem. Is there some other way I could do this online? If possible, I would prefer not to call apple support.
    Thanks to anyone who can help.

    The Three Best Alternatives for Security Questions and Rescue Mail
         If you do not have success with one, then try another:
            1.  Send Apple an email request at: Apple - Support - iTunes Store - Contact Us.
            2.  Call Apple Support in your country: Customer Service: Contact Apple support.

  • Process chain hangs when reaching AND process before Attribute Change Run

    Hi Experts,
    I have the following problem. For some reason my master data attribute process chain hangs when it reaches the AND process variant right before the Attribute Change Run. It does not go anywhere from that point.
    Thank you

    hi AG,
    if this is hanging daily at the same place without proceeding further, and with out giving the instance for the same. then the better way is to replace that AND process in the chain with the new AND process. and then check and activate ur chain. this wil solve ur problem.
    if this is the first time that happend to u, then check the previous load status, if any of the load has failed and u didnt turned the status of the process then also this can happen. So please do check it and act accordingly. If u cannt find the resolution then please run ur changerun manually.
    u can use RSPC_PRCESS_FINISH FM to convert the status of any process. for this u need to give instance and variant details. and then if u execute, then chain will continue further.
    Hope this will help you.
    thanks

  • [SOLVED] Cinnamon text unreadable after changing themes

    Hello!
    I recently installed Arch on my laptop, and decided to try Cinnamon as my DE. Everything worked wonderfully for a while, until I changed themes and then changed the panel layout to flipped (panel at the top). Suddenly all text became rectangles, and stayed that way after I changed it back to panel at the bottom. I uninstalled and reinstalled cinnamon, to no avail. This only happens when I'm using a theme other than the default. Here's an example:
    Default theme working as it should
    Different theme where everything has gone horribly wrong
    I have no idea what's causing this, or how to fix it. I've deleted everything I can find related to cinnamon and reinstalled, and it still does this.
    Last edited by Ekkoria (2014-06-06 15:51:08)

    I've figured out that if I use a theme designed for the panel-on-top layout, everything works great with the panel still on the bottom, but if I use one designed for the panel-on-bottom layout, it doesn't work properly. It would seem in my case that cinnamon is getting "stuck" thinking that the layout is panel on top when it's really not.
    EDIT: This issue seems to have resolved itself. There was a cinnamon update recently, but it did not fix this issue, so I'm not sure what exactly solved it.

    Why does captivate hang when it is closed in window 8.1 professional ? How is it solved?

    Hi,
    Do you see the issue every time you close captivate or is it only in some scenarios? Does it show any error messages? What captivate version are you using (64 bit or 32 bit)? Can you provide some more information or screenshots which can help us reproduce the issue.
