Problems in oneric: oxygen-gtk not working, mic not working

[schnelle]

Oxygen-gtk doesn't work in Oneiric. I tried to fix it but without success. Snapshot of pavucontrol:


And microphone stoped working/responding in Oneiric. In Natty it works.

So anybody have/had similar problems and knows how to solve it?

Ok mic seems to work while some recording application is running.

Oxygen-gtk still not fixed. Any ideas?

And it seems that oxygen-gtk doesn't work with pavucontrol but works with other gtk applications like chromium, firefox, gtk-recordmydesktop etc...

Does anybody else have problem with pavucontrol like on the screenshot in my first post?

Ok, if you are accessing this pavucontrol as root (As I suspect you might be), you have to perform the following steps to get it to work.

This will also help with any gtk app while running as root.

1. sudo -i and enter password
2. cp /home/useraccount/.gtkrc-2.0-kde4 ~
3. ln -s /root/.gtkrc-2.0-kde4 .gtkrc-2.0

Its a good idea to also link .gtkrc-2.0-kde4 to .gtkrc-2.0 in your own home directory.

Try running the application after you do this.

I had some issues with gtk apps while running 11.10 beta also and this fixed them.

Funny, because I have been using this gtk fix for like 5 years... You think the Kubuntu devs would do this automatically by now :-D.

Hope this helps!

Thanks Joe. I hope this will be fixed in the final release.

Well, I sure hope the devs include this, but as I mentioned, its been a problem for a long time, so just keep it handy for future use if needed

Glad it helped

Because it could cause applications to be unable to run as root in other desktop environments, I think.

Re: Problems in oneric: oxygen-gtk not working, mic not working

If you are running a gtk application as root, it takes its theme setting from the root directory, and not your home directory; /root is the "home" directory for the gtk theme files for applications run as kdesudo. So to set a theme for gtk applications run as root (i.e. Synaptic) you need to run:

kdesudo gtk-chtheme

or whatever you use to change gtk themes. This will not affect gtk applications run as a user. I use a different theme as root as a reminder.

By the way, you probably should not be running pavaucontrol as root, for roughly the same reason -- pulseaudio setting are (at least by default) configured on a user basis. Unless you have changed things, settings made as root may not apply properly to applications you run as a user.

Re: Problems in oneric: oxygen-gtk not working, mic not working

I didn't run pavucontrol as root.

I reinstalled Oneiric with daily build and this is not fixed. It affects other gtk apps as well: http://www.dodaj.rs/?3p/XO/NioDUSf/snapshot1.jpg

Vote for oxygen-gtk3 to be packaged

Re: Problems in oneric: oxygen-gtk not working, mic not working

I have this bug, too. It's not just a, "root," bug but shows up in Cheese and others gtk apps as well. This is off of September, 27 daily build.

Re: Problems in oneric: oxygen-gtk not working, mic not working

I have had trouble with this also... and gtk fonts.
I have found the best way to overcome this is by using only krunner and not konsole :
kdesu systemsettings and set as you require.
You may need to do this a number of times, change and change back again before it "takes".
IIRC a restart or login helped.

Re: Problems in oneric: oxygen-gtk not working, mic not working

It isn't exactly a bug; the problem appers only for GTK3 apps, as we don't have oxygen-gtk3(probably will be named gtk3-engines-oxygen) packaged - it isn't officialy released yet

Re: Problems in oneric: oxygen-gtk not working, mic not working

Uploaded oxygen-gtk3 just now, if anyone wants to test:

Re: Problems in oneric: oxygen-gtk not working, mic not working

Sorry, I didn't understand if it's fixed or not, nor how to fix it.
Since the upgrade to Kubuntu 11.10, the oxygen-gtk issue affects me too. It doesn't work when I run palimpsest (root or not).


Edit: And I'm having this same issue with Libreoffice: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=121337
