For those who track sid and have gtk3 applications installed, do *not dist-upgrade* the libgtk-3-0 package (as of Sep 22, 2014)

My AntiX 11 Base Sid install did not error out but was done before your post.

I have to login via cli though with

Code: Select all

 startx fluxbox
after password and login. Plus I had to remove AntiX kernels I had been using and go with Debian 3.14 ones.

But my long in the tooth AntiX 11 sid install has been through the ringer for quite a while.

gtk-update-icon-cache-3-0-9970-gdkpixbuf-warning-t4891.html

I am just waiting for 14.2 to come out and I will reclaim the shop desktop from all the bugs infesting it lately.
It is still usable though.

Another Install long in the tooth I straightened out I posted at

But I went with Wheezy to get it to work again. I should mention that went I put that laptop into storage on my parts shelf in the M/C shop. Debian testing in sources.list was on squeeze. So dist-upgrade was started from there. Needless to say hissy fits followed soon after. Errors galore. So using Wheezy seemed to settle things down enough to make it workable again.

Running Testing. My dist upgrade broke on
libgtk-3-0 package
upgrade to 3.12. I fixed it though by hand making a blank

Code: Select all

root@biker:/home/harry# updatedb
root@biker:/home/harry# locate loaders.cache
/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/gdk-pixbuf-2.0/loaders.cache
/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/gdk-pixbuf-2.0/2.10.0/loaders.cache
loaders.cache file since as root in terminal

Code: Select all

/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/gdk-pixbuf-2.0/gdk-pixbuf-query-loaders  > /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/gdk-pixbuf-2.0/2.10.0/loaders.cache
spit me back no such file or directory. So I hand made the loaders.cache as root in spacefm. It was hard as hell because toolbars and icons are blank when it breaks. Running the above command and then rebooting
fixed my breakage. I hope they get this gtk-3 and gtk-2 crap figured out.
