Hi, I'm getting severe problems in may applications as synaptic, acroread, azureus ... :( after an update with many gnome packages in my SuSE 9.3. Some applications can start be when opening any menu bar it crahses. Here is an example when runnig acroread: (acroread:10261): Gdk-WARNING **: Using Cairo rendering requires the drawable argument to have a specified colormap. All windows have a colormap, however, pixmaps only have colormap by default if they were created with a non-NULL window argument.

First off, make sure you have upgraded everything - eg did you also upgrade glib2 and pango? Also, have you run SuSEconfig? -- James Ogley james@usr-local-bin.org GNOME for SuSE: http://usr-local-bin.org/rpms Make Poverty History: http://makepovertyhistory.org

Yes, I've updated with 'apt-get dist-upgrade'. I have 'gnome' component active in sources.list A user in spanish list said that offending rpm is gtk2-2.7.4, so I think we have to revert to old gtk2-2.6.4 or fix gtk2 package.

This is one of those "me too" posts. Sorry I can't provide a solution. I'm having the same problem. However I used YAST with SUSE's Gnome "yast source" directory as my installation source. Seems like something is broke here. I and many others had a similar problem a while back with a broken arts RPM for ver 9.2 when attempting a KDE update. Eventually SUSE will resolve this. Rodney

HI, The workaorund urgent fix I verified is to uninstall gtk2*2.7.4 packages and install the old gtk2*2.6.8 instead. The problem here is to find the old gtk2 2.6.8 packages, it can't be found in suse mirrors anymore :(. SuSE, don't you think you should mantain an old_package directory for all these stuffs, when someone have to revert an update? If somebody needs these packages, contact me privately. Guillermo.

It doesn't stall, it just takes longer to run, now I've not looked into what it does now but I suspect it's a combination of: * Running more scripts * This is beta code folks Incidentally, the point of running beta code is that you file bugs, you see a bug, please please please file it.

FWIW, at this end, the downgrades to gtk2*-2.6.8-9 proved a mixed bag: The partially obscured Metacity splash screen text cleaned up but I lost my (GNOME) launcher icons and there are still a bunch of errors, apps not launching correctly or crashing when a menu item is selected... - Carl

Try to downgrade also glib2 packages. I did it to 2.7.2. Some other problem has disapeared, but I'm not sure it fix it at 100%, I use mostly KDE apps. I filed a bug report to SuSE/Nowell. I don't know whether it will be resolved soon. Guillermo

Hi Guillermo (and everyone else, too) I must sadly report that I downgraded the whole system last night back to 9.2. There is something about this hardware that 9.3 does not like. After I closed out my Reiserfs corruption post indicating it had been solved, I was installing some packages via the command line (I always use --test and then -Uhv and resolve problems manually, so it wasn't me...) when rpm suddenly 'blew up'... I got reams of fatal errors and gibberish binary symbols racing up-screen. I decided I'd had enough. I probably got spoiled having 8.2, 9.0 and 9.2 run nearly flawlessly on this system. It's peppy enough and ample for my needs right now, so I guess I'm stuck on 9.2. Thanks for the feedback, though. regards, - Carl
