TkDesk does not work with the new libraries, even when I export their locations. I got it to run again with a workaround: I removed the packages for blt, itcl, tk and tcl, downloaded the Hardy versions and installed them with dpkg.
TkDesk 2.0-9 runs with: blt_2.4z-4ubuntu1 itcl3_3.2.1-3.1 tcl8.4_8.4.16-4ubuntu1 tk8.4_8.4.16-2ubuntu1 You can find them at http://packages.ubuntu.com/ though I got them by rummaging around in the archives at http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/ (Hardy main for Tk and Tcl, and Hardy multiverse for BLT and TkDesk, I think). I locked (pinned) them all in Synaptic to prevent further updates. My only other Tk/Tcl programs are Tkpppoe and TkWorldClock, which work fine with these libraries, so I don't need newer packages until TkDesk itself is upgraded (and maybe not even then, if TkDesk doesn't change significantly). I have backed up the whole set in case my hard drive fails and I need to re-install them. Since TkDesk hardly ever changes, I think this will work for me for a long time. If you have other Tk/Tcl programs, this may not be a solution. You can install both the 8.4 and 8.5 versions, but can only set the library locations to one. You may need to export the library locations of TkDesk and itcl, and possibly of tk and tcl. From the command line, run export TKDESK_LIBRARY=/usr/lib/TkDesk export ITCL_LIBRARY=/usr/lib/itcl3.2 export TCL_LIBRARY=/usr/lib/tcl8.4 export TK_LIBRARY=/usr/lib/tk8.4 I use FVWM as a window manager, and start it with a script that sets some parameters and starts SCIM. In such a script, the form is TKDESK_LIBRARY="/usr/lib/tkdesk"; export TKDESK_LIBRARY ITCL_LIBRARY="/usr/lib/itcl3.2"; export ITCL_LIBRARY TCL_LIBRARY="/usr/lib/tcl8.4"; export TCL_LIBRARY TK_LIBRARY="/usr/lib/tk8.4"; export TK_LIBRARY -- Hardy tkdesk crashes on startup https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/234055 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
