Kubuntu 12.04 LTS code::blocks crashing on startup

[moserwi]

Kubuntu 12.04 seems to have realease date TODAY. Due to regular upgrades the new Version broke code::blocks...

The first thread was opened at:

http://www.kubuntuforums.net/showthread.php?58437-Code-Blocks-C-IDE-Crashing-On-Starting&p=295868&posted=1#post295868

Some of us tried the kubuntu package as it was installed before the upgrade...
I was going a step further and compiled a git download of the 10.05-HEAD

(codeblocks:32279): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: invalid uninstantiatable type `<invalid>' in cast to `GtkRadioMenuItem'

(codeblocks:32279): Gtk-CRITICAL **: IA__gtk_radio_menu_item_get_group: assertion `GTK_IS_RADIO_MENU_ITEM (radio_menu_item)' failed

The program 'codeblocks' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadWindow (invalid Window parameter)'.
  (Details: serial 14754 error_code 3 request_code 151 minor_code 3)
  (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;
   that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.
   To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line
   option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
   backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)

Thank you for helping us out.

Hi,

I have the same problem with Code::Blocks v10.05
crashing on new Kubuntu 12.04 LTS 64Bit OS.

I installed C::B's though OS's Software Manager.
When I run C::B's through menu,
I see and choose default compiler
but then C::B's crashes?

Hope this problem is resolved soon!
(I am a cross-platform game designer & need C::B's to work on Linux)

Thanks!

Jesse

Here is terminal output when running C::B's from terminal:

Cf. http://forums.codeblocks.org/index.php/topic,16232.0.html :
Remove the gtk2-oxygen-theme package, it will work.

And C::B 10.05 in (k)ububtu's is not maintained by the C::B developers, but by the ubuntu maintainers, so they have to fix it.
As far as I know, it's not the only program that crashes with an xwindow-error in kubuntu 12.04 .

I'm fairly certain it's a bug in gtk2-engines-oxygen.  I've had similar problems in the past with the Gimp.  You don't have to remove gtk2-engines-oxygen, but just change the Application Appearance > GTK+ Appearance > Widget Style.  Clearlooks from the gtk2-engines package looks fine.

Thanks JonnyD, that fixed the problem for me.

Only problem is now all my GTK+ applications look like crap. I hope the KDE team fixes this soon.

[MortenMacFly]

Application Appearance > GTK+ Appearance > Widget Style.

I don't have that option - where do you see it? In "System Settings2 -> "Appearance" I can only select a wallpaper and stuff...

[JayArby]

What version of Kubuntu do you have? "GTK+ Appearance" should be in the sidebar after you select "Application Appearance".

[Folco]

You should get this dialog : http://www.bbc.co.uk/accessibility/images/guides/text_larger/computer/text_larger_kde_fig2b.jpg
Click the icon highlighted with a red circle.

Then this one : http://linuxfud.files.wordpress.com/2006/09/kde-gtk-styles-settings.png?w=491&h=331

I missed the "K". My fault.

[JonnyD]

It looks like today's Oxygen theme update fixed it.  Anyone else notice?
