So When I switched to gnome and tried running apport-collect 1273826 . It wouldnt run from my home directory. It only ran when I was in the /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu directory .
This gave me a clue that there was some system library that was not in my LD_LIBRARY_PATH. Once I added /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu to the start of LD_LIBRARY_PATH. Then gedit and apport-collect started working in gnome. When I booted into Fluxbox . With the new LD_LIBRARY_PATH , I started getting all gtk applications working again. Currently the contents of my /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu directory are. hari@hari-Precision-WorkStation-T7500:/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu$ ls -latr *atk* lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 21 Jun 28 2013 libatkmm-1.6.so.1 -> libatkmm-1.6.so.1.1.0 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 294768 Jun 28 2013 libatkmm-1.6.so.1.1.0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 23 Oct 4 02:13 libatk-1.0.so.0 -> libatk-1.0.so.0.21009.1 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 23 Oct 4 02:13 libatk-1.0.so -> libatk-1.0.so.0.21009.1 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 138096 Oct 4 02:13 libatk-1.0.so.0.21009.1 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 26 Oct 4 02:43 libatk-bridge-2.0.so.0 -> libatk-bridge-2.0.so.0.0.0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 26 Oct 4 02:43 libatk-bridge-2.0.so -> libatk-bridge-2.0.so.0.0.0 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 173304 Oct 4 02:43 libatk-bridge-2.0.so.0.0.0 I may have got the libatk-bridge from a deb mentioned at this link (http://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?f=208&t=152580) and added it to my system . i.e from https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/saucy/+source/at-spi2-atk I can provide the information from apport-collect if needed for more diagnostics. But at least now with the LD_LIBRARY_PATH fix I can launch gnome applications in Fluxbox. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1273826 Title: Gnome applications wont launch To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/at-spi2-atk/+bug/1273826/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
