after gtk2 upgrade, i lost the gtk engine appearance
hi all,
Yesterday i do the following upgrades:
[08/01/06 22:50] starting full system upgrade
[08/01/06 23:15] upgraded eject (2.1.2-2 -> 2.1.5-1)
[08/01/06 23:15] upgraded gtk2 (2.8.20-1 -> 2.10.1-1)
[08/01/06 23:15] upgraded gtk-engines (2.6.7-1 -> 2.6.10-1)
[08/01/06 23:15] upgraded librsvg (2.14.4-1 -> 2.14.4-2)
[08/01/06 23:15] upgraded libwmf (0.2.8.4-2 -> 0.2.8.4-3)
[08/01/06 23:15] upgraded ppp (2.4.4-1 -> 2.4.4-2)
But now, i lost the gtk style appearance (none of my styles works).
Anybody can help with this problem?

Re: after gtk2 upgrade, i lost the gtk engine appearance
there should be a better fix sometime, but 'til that happens you can erase que engines directory in /usr/lib/gtk2.0/2.10.0/ and make a link there to /usr/lib/gtk2.0/2.4.0/engines. Of course you should try to recompile the engines, but that isn't working for me

Same fix for me, I had to recompile candido engine and it works fine now. I just thought it was an Arch thing

Re: after gtk2 upgrade, i lost the gtk engine appearance
a recompile of candido did not the works for me.
I get a lot of "/home/solskogen/.themes/Candido/gtk-2.0/gtkrc:35: error: invalid identifier `xthickness', expected valid identifier" and such errors in .xsession-errors.
I also tried downloading the different themes from the candido sites in case I had a old version or something. But no go.

Hm, strange. Did you do a pkgmake -C before you recompiled?

Re: after gtk2 upgrade, i lost the gtk engine appearance
Just copy engines files (librezlooks.la and librezlooks.so) from /usr/lib/gtk-2.0/2.4.0 to /usr/lib/gtk-2.0/2.10.0
works for me

Personally, I wouldn't recommend doing that. Just rebuild rezlooks against gtk2-2.10.x to keep things consistant.

In this case it's a completely valid solution, as the API between 2.4 and 2.10 hasn't changed for theme engines. The only thing that has changed is filechooser plugins, which is why they bumped.
The only problem I would have with this solution is that pacman doesn't know about the new files anymore, but if you're hacking around anyways, the filelist in /var/lib/pacman could be updated to match the new location aswell
