GTK3 apps refusing to start

I've switched from LXDE/openbox to Compiz/emerald and am having a strange problem with GTK3 apps (tested with nm-applet and nautilus).
Starting from a terminal gives the following error;
(nm-applet:1445): Gtk-WARNING **: Theme parsing error: gtk-widgets.css:1217:17: Expected ')'
(nm-applet:1445): Gtk-WARNING **: Theme parsing error: gtk.css:102:42: Failed to import: Error opening file: No such file or directory
(nm-applet:1445): Gtk-WARNING **: Theme parsing error: gtk-widgets.css:1217:17: Expected ')'
(nm-applet:1445): Gtk-WARNING **: Theme parsing error: gtk.css:102:42: Failed to import: Error opening file: No such file or directory
the application is unable to start and just hangs, taking up 100% of one of my cpu cores. I've had a look at the gtk-widgets.css but can't see where there's a missing ')' (its clearly not at 1217:17).
I'm currently using the Think_Correctly_GTK theme which includes GTK2 and 3 themes, both of which worked fine under LXDE.
If I change the GTK2 to a different theme and try to start again I get;
(nm-applet:1458): Gtk-WARNING **: Theme parsing error: gtk-widgets.css:1217:17: Expected ')'
(nm-applet:1458): Gtk-WARNING **: Theme parsing error: gtk.css:102:42: Failed to import: Error opening file: No such file or directory
** Message: applet now removed from the notification area
(nm-applet:1458): libnotify-WARNING **: Failed to connect to proxy
** Message: applet now embedded in the notification area
** (nm-applet:1458): WARNING **: Failed to show notification: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name org.freedesktop.Notifications was not provided by any .service files
Same theme parsing error, however now both nm-applet and nautilus start, if I then switch the GTK2 theme back they're ok until I close and reopen nautilus.
Any idea how to resolve this apart from using a different theme?

Hi theafroguy, Welcome to the Forums.
It may be worth trying again off and on.
The forums themselves go off line for varying degrees of time. A thread (???) said Apple was working on it. It's been going on for weeks. A real PITA.

Apple paid apps refusing to start

I've had this before, and seen it in threads going back some time but haven't found a definitive answer. Occasionally (rarely thankfully) some apps will refuse to start on my iPhone 4 (currently iOS 5.0.1). The icon zooms out as normal but then simple returns to the Home page. This morning none of my paid Apple apps would start, but all the "built in" ones were fine. I re-downloaded Numbers and all of them then worked. In fact, downloading anything seems to fix the problem. But it will be back, I know it will. Perhaps just the act of using my Apple ID and password is the important thing, and not the actual downloading. Does anyone have a definite answer to this one?

5230 radio app refuses to start when I use bluetoo...

Hi all,
I am a happy owner of a Nokia 5230 phone, and I bought a BH-103 headset.
Everything works fine except that the radio application that refuses to start with my bluetooth headset.
The radio app is requiring a wired headset being connected.
Is this expected ? Or is this a bug ?

Hi
i recently purhcased a Nokia 5230 and everything worked until this week when the FM radio just refused to work. I was able to get all local stations no problem, on the phone it is showing RDS AF however when i try to do it manually it will not allow me to change to turning the auto scan off, I have since purchased the correct headphones but the radio still will not work, also am getting a message that this new headset is a default accessory!!

Why do my apps refuse to start when my iPod 4G turns off from lack of power?

When my iPod 4th Generation runs out of power and shuts off, giving me the signal to plug it in to charge, some apps refuse to work. For example, I open up an app, and it immediately closes. Is this because there are some apps from another account on the iDevice?

The account has nothing to do with it.
Try the standard fixes to rule out a software problem:
- Reset. Nothing is lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory settings/new iPod
if still problem that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Mail.app refuses to start up

Hi all:
Today I encountered a problem using mail.app with my dotmac account. When try to run the application, either by clicking its icon in the applications folder or from the dock, I get the spinning beach ball, which is followed by an error message stating:
'Mail cannot update your mailboxes because your home directory is full.
You must free up space in your home folder before using Mail. Delete unneeded documents or move documents to another volume.
Quit mail.'
I'm not sure what to do as my hard disk (only one volume/partition) is not full at all. It's an 80 GB HD with more than 13GB of free space. The problem started after a restart and has never occurred before. Is this due to a corrupt preference file or the likes? Any ideas?
I can still log into my account and read my mail using webmail.
Thanks very much for your help,
Samoth.

Hi, I have the sam exact problem with the same exact error message. I have never had a problem before. This only started happening 3 days ago out of the blue for no apparent reason. I have plenty of free space, over 100 gb's. I tried trashing the preference file, that didn't work. I tired archiving all my old messages, that didn't work as well. I too am able too access my messages online thru the web based .mac web page. what gives. can anyone help? apple, are you listening?

In house apps refusing to start

Hi Everyone,
Crazy situation.
Users are installing the iTunes on the machines as instructed.
The users are using the applications as instructed, but when they connect
the device to the machine with iTunes, and restart the applications on the iPod touch, the applications just flash that they are starting, then exit.
It almost appears that the in house distribution certificate is not on the devices.
On devices that have not connected to the iTunes, the apps start and run with no problems. As soon as they the devices to the iTunes machine, the applications stop working.
So my question is this....
Is there a way to stop iTunes from doing anything other than run in the background?
I guess there is a part two....
How do i distribute the in house distribution certificate???
thanks
tony
Message was edited by: alt-088.... small typo

Update -
It seems the users that "barnstormed" the installation are what is causing the issues.
When I distribute iTunes without bonjour and update and sync'ing, the units work well. Its when the users did the iTunes themselves, either having an iPod before they received the company issued devices, or an iPhone and have already installed iTunes in the normal way.
The moment they connected the iPod touch to the machine and do a sync, it wiped out the provisioning profile on the device.
This is why the apps are showing in the system. They start to run, flash the screen, then drop out back to the OS.
When i sent out the ICU, and included the provisioning profile, installed the profile back on to the system, the applications ran fine.
take care
tony

TS1702 In pages, when I get to the end of a line, the text refuses to start again in the left, it continues on the right and goes down the page, anyone know a solution?

In pages, when I get to the end of a line, the text refuses to start again in the left, it continues on the right and goes down the page, anyone know a solution?

Does this occur in all of your Pages documents? Are you certain that you haven't formatted the type to run flush right? (Align right I mean - sorry old typographer lingo). Look at the ruler at the top and check the Align setting.
Have you tried quitting Pages completely and the restart the iPad?
Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the task bar will appear with all of your recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Restart the iPad.
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.

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.

yngwin wrote:Is there any reason to use Gtk3 apps? Personally I find it easier to just stick with Gtk2 ones for now, since Gtk3 is still going through growing pains.
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!

AIR give you classes to detect an on-line or off-line status, it's in
this way for the sake of flexibility for instance what happens if you
only what to sync data only on Saturdays at 2 am? If it were done
automatically that'll be a problem. And it isn't so complicated.
You can download the SalesBuilder from AIR examples at www.adobe.com/devnet/air
it's an application that does everything you have in mind.
I don't understand your question abou file types.
An AIR app can communicate with almost every backend served tech
CF, .Net, PHP, RoR.
Sincerely,
Michael

Sorry but I don't quiet understand. I thought AIR did the updating
automatically? I didn't realise the developer had to program the
logic of how the updates take place? Is it a case in most AIR apps
that when online the app updates the server and once every intervel
(of however long) the local SQLite DB is synced to the more updated
server DB. Then when offline the developer has to sense that the app
is offline and store a log manually of the updates without any help
from AIR itself, and then update once it comes online again?

Can AIR link to anything more than a database on the server side
apart from webservices, for example .as files or any other file types?

What type of server is a Flex app stored on, is it a specific Adobe
server rather than a Java or .NET server?

Suddenly apps don't start or crash while starting: Possible reasons?

Hello,
from one minute to the next I've got massive problems with a lot of apps:
they don't start or crash while starting (resp. while executing a function).
I don't have any clue what could have happened. Last software-specific action
I did (half hour before the problems appeared) was to update the Flash player
(in the meantime I've removed it with App Cleaner).
Troubleshooting steps I've tried:
-- Start the Mac in Save Mode
-- Use Apple Hardware Test (no damage found)
-- Repair permissions
-- Check the volume with Disc Utiliy (no damage found)
I've also tried to use Onyx, but the app refuses my admin password
although it is valid and works.
The specs of my Mac:
-- Mac Mini Late 2012
-- Yosemite 10.10.2
-- RAM 16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3 (Samsung)
-- 500 GB SSD Samsung 840 EVO
The following excerpts are from the crash reports of some of the apps.
Is someone out there who understand them and can give me
informations about the possible reason for the crashes?
Thank you,
Thomas

Settings (and other Apps) Will Not Start (Metro)

That matches almost exactly with the referenced thread. But that thread never seemed to give a set of steps to resolve the issue (other than doing a Refresh which would be a catastrophic waste of time, reinstalling my whole development environment).
I really would appreciate some help resolving this issue. If I'm in the wrong forum, please move or suggest a more appropriate place.
