Ubuntu
synaptic package

synaptic package manager does't start anymore

Asked by Horst Seeger

After upgrade to ubuntu 11.10 first synaptic worked normal. Then it started to flash only without starting. When I tried to start through terminal I got this error message:

(gksudo:16652): Gtk-WARNING **: Unable to locate theme engine in module_path: "pixmap",
terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::out_of_range'
  what(): vector::_M_range_check

What is the problem and how to solve it?

sudo apt-get install gtk2-engines-pixbuf

Should cure the warning.

I got answer, that it is installed already

but switching off "visual alerts" in Universal Access (post n° 7) has cured it. Thanks!
