My Gedit was crashing on startup and giving the following error:- Gtk:ERROR:/build/buildd/gtk+2.0-2.24.20/gtk/gtkrecentmanager.c:2116:get_icon_fallback: assertion failed: (retval != NULL) Aborted
I fixed this by following these steps 1. Open terminal 2. Run the command: $ echo 'gtk-icon-theme-name="Tango"' >> ~/.gtkrc-2.0 3. Run the command: $ sudo apt-get install tango-icon-theme 4. Close terminal 5. Create a new text file on your desktop eg: random.txt 6. Double click on random.txt Problem solved. Now you should be able to run Gedit by double clicking on a file or from the command line ( $ gedit random.txt ) with no problems. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gtk+2.0 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/651678 Title: crashes with assertion failure on startup To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/gtk/+bug/651678/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
