Rox won't start after recent GTK upgrade

The bug report is here.  Just wanted to see if anyone had any ideas:

http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/3617

Rox segfaults on startup.  That's it.  No other problems have occurred.

I think it's a problem with the recent gtk upgrade.

???

EDIT: If I run 'rox --debug'  I get:

/usr/share/ROX-Filer/AppRun: line 55: exec: gdb: not found

Don't know what the problem might be, but I can report that I've upgraded to the latest gtk2 and rox is working fine here.  Have you tried reinstalling rox?

Re: Rox won't start after recent GTK upgrade

Yeah...and GTK2, but it hasn't worked.

I'll sniff around some more when I have more time.

I ain't no guru, though.

Re: Rox won't start after recent GTK upgrade

Crashes for me when I switch to detailed view mode. Works fine in icon view. Used to work fine, but I just re-installed Arch after a few month of hiatus.

Oops... just checked mine on detailed view and get the same crash, whereas it was working fine before the gtk2 upgrade.  Icon mode still works fine.

I have the same problem. When I switched to detailed view mode, Rox crashes.

I just noticed that a rox upgrade is available in the Arch repos and installing it has fixed this problem on my box.  All viewing modes seem to be working without crashing now.   8)

Yeah, I noticed that bug before, but stucked at the source to detect what exactly triggered that:
http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/foru … um_id=4178

But technically this has been the reason why I waited b4 upgrading after I realized that the lately released 2.4 didn't sove the problem. I decided to go for the patch instead of waiting for another(maybe bugfixing) upstream release.

Enjoy,

Re: Rox won't start after recent GTK upgrade

I have written:

pacman -Syu and pacman -S rox.

But the new version of rox wasn't found. Than I have updated abs,  and found under /extra/x11/rox the new PKGBUILD. I have installed it from PKGBUILD.

Probably the mirror you use didn't had time to sync yet. Some of them can take a few days to update.  In this case, you need to wait  or temporarily use another miror. Or use abs like you did.
