[kinda solved!]nvidia-settings segmentation fault

hi

i use nvidia-settings to adjust my graphic card setup. I haven't used it in a while though (in fact, i think it was using kde about 8 months ago), and tried to fire it up today on openbox, this is what i get;

$ nvidia-settings

(nvidia-settings:6351): Gtk-WARNING **: Unable to locate theme engine in module_path: "murrine",

(nvidia-settings:6351): Gtk-WARNING **: Unable to locate theme engine in module_path: "murrine",
Segmentation fault
$

I have never installed murrine ever! is it as simple an issue to fix as install murrine??

i tried to pacman it & yaourt it, but its not found! before I go about finding the source code to compile, i was wondering if anyone else has any ideas?

thanks

I find it a bit unlikely that a missing theme engine would cause a seg fault, however the package you need is in [community] and is called 'gtk-engine-murrine'.

What version of nvidia-utils do you have? and is the ret of your system up to date?

hi, thanks for that. I installed the theme engine, now the error message only says;

$ nvidia-settings
Segmentation Fault
$

I keep my system fully updated all the time, but how do i find out what version of nvidia-utils i am using??
