[Bug 651678] Re: crashes with assertion failure on startup

 

My Gedit was crashing on startup and giving the following error:-

Gtk:ERROR:/build/buildd/gtk+2.0-2.24.20/gtk/gtkrecentmanager.c:2116:get_icon_fallback: assertion failed: (retval != NULL)
Aborted

I fixed this by following these steps

1. Open terminal
2. Run the command: $ echo 'gtk-icon-theme-name="Tango"' >> ~/.gtkrc-2.0
3. Run the command: $ sudo apt-get install tango-icon-theme
4. Close terminal
5. Create a new text file on your desktop eg: random.txt
6. Double click on random.txt

Problem solved. Now you should be able to run Gedit by double clicking
on a file or from the command line ( $ gedit random.txt ) with no
problems.

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: anjuta

  Running Kubuntu Maverick

  $ dpkg -l | grep anjuta

  When I run, the splash flashes for a moment, then the program exits
  with the following message

  $ anjuta &
  Gtk:ERROR:/build/buildd/gtk+2.0-2.22.0/gtk/gtkrecentmanager.c:1942:get_icon_fallback: assertion failed: (retval != NULL)

  
  I attach the crash file
