/usr/share/themes/Ambiance/gtk-2.0/apps/mate-panel.rc:30: error: invalid string constant "murrine-scrollbar", expected valid string constant

[dino99]

[Impact]

Get that error now with each random package upgrade:

/usr/share/themes/Ambiance/gtk-2.0/apps/mate-panel.rc:30: error: invalid string constant "murrine-scrollbar", expected valid string constant

Looks like related to that change:

* gtk2: Ambiance, Radiance: inherit style fixes from MATE themes (LP:
    #961679)

 -- Marco Trevisan (Treviño) <[e-mail]> Thu, 12 Oct 2017 05:19:32 +0000

That installation is a default Ubuntu , no Mate installed, and Ambiance is set for 'applications' into tweaks

[Test case]

1. Run a gtk2 application (with ambiance/radiance set as theme) in terminal
2. App has to run without any error

[Possible regression]

Different scrollbars in gtk2 apps.

Same problem with XMind, after running setup.sh which installs some dependencies and fonts, when I try to run the application I get the following error:

$ ./XMind_amd64/XMind

I've downloaded the following version of XMind: https://www.xmind.net/xmind/downloads/xmind-8-update5-linux.zip

Hello dino99, or anyone else affected,

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug, mentioning the version of the package you tested and change the tag from verification-needed-artful to verification-done-artful. If it does not fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification-failed-artful. In either case, details of your testing will help us make a better decision.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification . Thank you in advance!

[Thijs Kinkhorst (kink)]

Upgrading from proposed-updates fixes the problem for me.

[Jean-Baptiste Lallement (jibel)]

SRU verification for Artful:
I have reproduced the problem with ubuntu-themes 16.10+17.10.20171012.1-0ubuntu1 in artful and have verified that the version of ubuntu-themes 16.10+17.10.20171115-0ubuntu1 in -proposed fixes the issue.

Marking as verification-done

[huerben (huerben)]

installing artful-proposed ubuntu-themes/16.10+17.10.20171115-0ubuntu1 does not help.
starting kompozer then same issue as before

Check the content of that file, does it match

For you?

It seems there is no change for me. This is my mate-panel.rc

@Marco Trevisan (Treviño) (3v1n0)
Is there no lin30 in your file?? I don see it.

line 30 in my file is:
30 class "GtkScrollbar" style "murrine-scrollbar"

[huerben (huerben)]

Install the ubuntu-artwork packages via synaptic do not change the file /usr/share/themes/Ambiance/gtk-2.0/apps/mate-panel.rc
I don now why.

so i copy the file from Marco Trevisan manualy in the file., do restart,

no error message in the terminal, but kompozer still not start.

$ kompozer

[Marco Trevisan (Treviño) (3v1n0)]

I think that's another issue then...

[Tres Finocchiaro (tres-finocchiaro)]

Sorry to bump a closed bug report, but what is the proposed solution?

On 17.10, I've enabled the "proposed" through Software & Updates, but "ubuntu-themes" is not a valid package name. Since "ubuntu-artwork" is listed as a binary build from this package, I've updated that to no avail.

    Preparing to unpack .../ubuntu-artwork_1%3a16.10+17.10.20171115-0ubuntu1_all.deb ...
    Unpacking ubuntu-artwork (1:16.10+17.10.20171115-0ubuntu1) over (1:16.10+17.10.20171115-0ubuntu1) ...
    Setting up ubuntu-artwork (1:16.10+17.10.20171115-0ubuntu1) ...

But the original error ** "murrine-scrollbar", expected valid string constant ** still exists.

[Tres Finocchiaro (tres-finocchiaro)]

Please disregard the above message. Like @huerben, I have similar symptom but a separate issue after updating. The murrine-scrollbar error has disappeared with the above steps.
