Installing on Ubuntu

Postby ronburk » Wed Feb 01, 2017 6:55 am

Tried installing with command-line snap and got problems, so uninstalled and went with the GUI installer (not sure that's different in any meaningful way), following the instructions here. Same problems:

Code: Select all

ronburk@ubuntu:~$ inkscape
Gtk-Message: Failed to load module "overlay-scrollbar"
Gtk-Message: Failed to load module "gail"
Gtk-Message: Failed to load module "atk-bridge"
Gtk-Message: Failed to load module "canberra-gtk-module"

(inkscape:3607): libgnomevfs-WARNING **: Unable to create ~/.gnome2 directory: Permission denied
^C
ronburk@ubuntu:~$ lsb_release -a
No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID:   Ubuntu
Description:   Ubuntu 16.04.1 LTS
Release:   16.04
Codename:   xenial


Any ideas?

try sudo apt-get install libatk-adaptor libgail-common
and sees if it helps
maybe you're missing 'gtk2-engines-murrine' (for overlay scrollbar)

Thanks, they report already installed. And:

ronburk@ubuntu:~$ dpkg -l | grep "gtk2-engines-murrine"
ii gtk2-engines-murrine:amd64 0.98.2-0ubuntu2.2 amd64 cairo-based gtk+-2.0 theme engine

I thought it wasn't that long since I had built this virtual machine, but I suppose I can build another from scratch. Surely this snap works for some vanilla Ubuntu config.

Did you try to create the ~/.gnome2 directory before launching inkscape ?
