Description cyborghunter 2011-04-22 00:41:33 UTC

I'm using Kubuntu 10.10 with all current updates on two different machines. One running 64 bit with 4GB RAM, and the other 32 bit with 3GB RAM.
Both systems have AMD dual core processors (but different ones). Both have ATI video.

Glabels originally worked on both of these systems but now crashes immediately on starting, with the following error:
Gtk:ERROR:/build/buildd/gtk+2.0-2.22.0/gtk/gtkrecentmanager.c:1942:get_icon_fallback: assertion failed: (retval != NULL)
Aborted

Here is the backtrace output:

Comment 1 Jim Evins 2011-04-22 02:54:09 UTC

This is a duplicate of 612334 and is a bug in gtk.  This has been fixed in master, but has never been applied to 2.22, so it is still broken in the distributions.

(See comment #11 in 612334 for a work around in kubuntu 10.10.)
