Linux Mint Forums

Hi,

I have a problem with the software manager in Mint 14 (64bit) Cinnamon

Everytime i open the software manager it asks for my password but then nothing happens. When i run mintinstall from terminal i get the following:-

/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/gtk-2.0/gtk/__init__.py:57: GtkWarning: could not open display
warnings.warn(str(e), _gtk.Warning)
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/lib/linuxmint/mintInstall/mintinstall.py", line 28, in <module>
from widgets.pathbar2 import NavigationBar
File "/usr/lib/linuxmint/mintInstall/widgets/pathbar2.py", line 1025, in <module>
class PathBarThemeHuman:
File "/usr/lib/linuxmint/mintInstall/widgets/pathbar2.py", line 1038, in PathBarThemeHuman
animate = gtk.settings_get_default().get_property("gtk-enable-animations")
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'get_property'

I did a dkpg -l mintinstall and it gives me the following.

Desired=Unknown/Install/Remove/Purge/Hold
| Status=Not/Inst/Conf-files/Unpacked/halF-conf/Half-inst/trig-aWait/Trig-pend
|/ Err?=(none)/Reinst-required (Status,Err: uppercase=bad)

Has anyone any idea what's going on? I even tried a complete reinstall but exactly the same thing happens.

I've tried removing/installing mintinstall, I did the same with GTK2 but no joy.

Ok, i had a problem installing wine as well with the follwoing, it could kinda explain why a wndow isn't being created perhaps... (guessing)

Application tried to create a window, but no driver could be loaded.
Make sure that your X server is running and that $DISPLAY is set correctly.
err:systray:initialize_systray Could not create tray window

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks

Stephen

Anyone?

At a glance it looks like a problem with python-gtk2, but that's just my guess.
