gtk warnings clearlooks and pk-gtk-module

[prkos]

I recently made a clean install of fedora 14, 64-bit

There are some icons missing from the Firefox theme I've used for years. I contacted the theme author and after a lot of testing the conclusion is that there's something wrong with my gtk theme.

During testing I downloaded a clean firefox from mozilla.org and extracted it in my home folder, even made a completely new profile folder by renaming the old one, to exclude the possibility the problems are caused by a corrupt profile.

When I start the standalone firefox I get these warnings:

(firefox-bin:26999): Gtk-WARNING **: Unable to locate theme engine in module_path: "clearlooks",

(firefox-bin:26999): Gtk-WARNING **: Unable to locate theme engine in module_path: "clearlooks",
Gtk-Message: Failed to load module "pk-gtk-module": libpk-gtk-module.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Earlier I also used to get:

Gtk-Message: Failed to load module "canberra-gtk-module": libcanberra-gtk-module.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

but it went away when I installed 32-bit versions of it.

I also noticed earlier that animated gifs weren't animated at all, I guess only the first frame was shown, so it looked like a blinking image. It seemed to be fixed now though.

I also have a problem with cairo dock, I'm only able to drag and drop stuff on it once after I log in, and also I was able to reproduce it once after dock restart, but not since then. After I successfully drag and drop an app into the dock once, and try to drop another one, the dock appears but the icons don't react to the mouse movement, if I drop the icon it falls through to the application below the dock if there's any. For example if firefox is open below (behind) the dock the icon is opened in a new firefox tab. http://www.glx-dock.org/bg_topic.php?t=5023

Also in Inkscape I have this bug: Cursor position markers are not cleared from rulers https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/627134 which seems to be gtk related

By default I use compiz with an emerald theme, but I also tested this with Metacity (Fedora default theme) and GTK window decorator, it behaves the same.

I'm not sure if all this is connected, but I thought it can't hurt to include more info.

Are there any dependencies I'm missing for gtk? Why do those warnings appear?

I just noticed that when I select address in the address bar I get a popup with options to open in firefox, opera or mozilla. I didn't have that on ubuntu, so it must be a fedora modification? I also get the same popup in Opera, how can I turn it off?

Another find, when I open gshutdown from terminal I get this:

(gshutdown:25288): Gtk-WARNING **: GtkSpinButton: setting an adjustment with non-zero page size is deprecated

(gshutdown:25288): Gtk-WARNING **: GtkSpinButton: setting an adjustment with non-zero page size is deprecated

Hi prkos, did you find a way around the Gtk Warnings? I just installed firefox6 and it compains about cleanlooks not existing and all the rest:

(firefox-bin:15750): Gtk-WARNING **: Unable to locate theme engine in module_path: "clearlooks",
Gtk-Message: Failed to load module "pk-gtk-module": libpk-gtk-module.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Gtk-Message: Failed to load module "canberra-gtk-module": libcanberra-gtk-module.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I still have the same problem unfortunately:

(firefox-bin:2914): Gtk-WARNING **: Unable to locate theme engine in module_path: "clearlooks",

(firefox-bin:2914): Gtk-WARNING **: Unable to locate theme engine in module_path: "clearlooks",
Gtk-Message: Failed to load module "pk-gtk-module": libpk-gtk-module.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

And after the latest Firefox updates form items on websites and scrollbars don't take the system look any more. I guess there's something wrong with my gtk installation, but I couldn't figure out what.

[justforgetme]

Well, I guess we are stuck then :-)

I really would like to hunt around for an answer (surely there is something on google) but not enough time...

Ohh and yes that gtk warning means that ff can't find your system theme for some reason so all buttons bars and popups are plain boxes....

I have the same problem. I am unsure it is related to java or to the gtk installation.

I get the messages when starting Netbeans 7.0.1.

Reinstalling PackageKit-gtk-module-0.6.17-1.fc15.x86_64 made the GUI look slightly better however some labels are too small in height and the menu's dont work, it looks like the mouse pointer is pointing a few centimers above its icon when I try to hover things.
Very annoying.

When starting netbeans I get these messages:
Gtk-Message: Failed to load module "pk-gtk-module"
Gtk-Message: Failed to load module "canberra-gtk-module"

I have been struggling with installing Oracle Java support recently. So I am not sure if it is related to that.

I hope anyone knows a way to solve this, since my IDE is quite unusable now. Please help us out.

I had to installed some packages.

for pk-gtk-module

PackageKit-gtk-module.i686

for canberra-gtk-module
libcanberra-gtk2.i686

for clearlook warning
gtk2-engines.i686


I had to install *.i686, becasue my acrobat reader was 32bit and
It needed i686 to be installed

Just spend ages trying to solve the same issue with Adobe Reader - one search on here and I find the answer!

Suppose I should have done that first, but then I'd never learn anything that way!

ryanpark your solution works for me - no more scarry warnings
Thanks a lot.
