Public bug reported: I am unable to start synaptic. When attempting to start it, a blank window flashes on the screen momentarily then disappears.
Ubuntu 11.10 synaptic 0.75.2ubuntu8 Gnome shell When running "gksu synaptic" from the command line i see a bunch of messages about unable to get theme: (gksu:9656): Gtk-WARNING **: Unable to locate theme engine in module_path: "pixmap", (gksu:9656): Gtk-WARNING **: Unable to locate theme engine in module_path: "pixmap", (gksu:9656): Gtk-WARNING **: Unable to locate theme engine in module_path: "pixmap", (gksu:9656): Gtk-WARNING **: Unable to locate theme engine in module_path: "pixmap", Similar messages and behavior if just running "synaptic" or "sudo synaptic" Since this is saying something about themes, it makes me wonder if this is an issue specific to the gnome shell gui? This is 100% reproducable on my machine.
