gnome-appearance-properties crashed with SIGILL on launch.

[Henry Finucane]

Binary package hint: gnome-control-center

gnome-appearance-properties crashes on launch, only information it communicates that seems at all useful is:

(gnome-appearance-properties:13372): Gtk-WARNING **: Unable to locate theme engine in module_path: "rezlooks",

I moved all my .gtk files, but it still happens, so I don't think it's a problem there. I have installed third party themes in the past, if that helps at all- but regardless, that shouldn't crash the application.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. Do you still have this issue with the newer version of gnome-control-center (2.19.6-0ubuntu2) ? thanks.

[Henry Finucane (h-finucane)]

I don't, it stays up long enough to switch themes a few times :).

what does that mean? does it keep crashing?

[Don Smith (donsmith77)]

Fixed in latest release

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

closing the bug then, thank you for the update

Just to let you know, I've just had a crash similar to this on hardy beta. It doesn't crash every time though, so it's a bit weird...

[Pedro Villavicencio (pedro)]

Mads, please submit a crash report with apport, thanks you.

[Mads Peter Rommedahl (lhademmor)]

I would, but I couldn't figure out how to do it. Apport gathered stuff and then opened a browser window with Launchpad - I couldn't find the Apport log-fil - where is that saved?
