Error dialogue box
Error dialogue box when attempting to run Firefox, GIMP, etc.
Sorry - it's an installation on Ubuntu Lucid - 10.04 This is caused by a corrupt or incomplete installation, probably due to the interruption you mentioned. To fix it, install or reinstall the following packages: kgtk-config-bluefish kgtk-config-eclipse kgtk-config-firefox kgtk-config-gimp kgtk-config-inkscape kgtk-config-kino kgtk-config-opera-qt3 kgtk-config-scribus kgtk-config-thunderbir kgtk-qt3-kde3 Note, above should be: kgtk-config-thunderbird not: kgtk-config-thunderbir Tried the reinstallation (all were already installed) in Synaptic. All completed successfullly. Restarted computer to make sure everything took, but same error dialogue reappears... Did get the "thunderbird" correction, although Synaptic found it without the 2nd "d". Copied and pasted to make sure I didn't make a typo. Performed in the listed sequence, if that matters. Are you trying to launch Firefox outside of a KDE3/Trinity session? If so, you might run into that problem because kgtk2-wrapper lives in /opt/kde3/bin. Try adding /opt/kde3/bin to your PATH and see if that fixes the problem. That was the problem. Is there a way to universally change "PATH", or do I have to do it in each instance for starting each program? Sorry! I'm Windows-based and not that knowledgeable on Linux or KDE. I was able to "fix" Firefox and GIMP on the Gnome panel, but don't see a way to fix it in the Applications menu or elsewhere... More info from crash report to Ubuntu: ProblemType: Package DistroRelease: Ubuntu 10.04 Package: sudo (not installed) ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 2.6.32-24.41-generic 2.6.32.15+drm33.5 Uname: Linux 2.6.32-24-generic x86_64 NonfreeKernelModules: fglrx Architecture: amd64 Date: Sat Aug 21 16:28:30 2010 ErrorMessage: subprocess installed pre-removal script returned error exit status 1 InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 10.04 LTS "Lucid Lynx" - Release amd64 (20100429) SourcePackage: sudo Title: package sudo (not installed) failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed pre-removal script returned error exit status 1 Not sure if this helps anything...

When you log in to a KDE3/Trinity session the path is automatically set to include /opt/kde3/bin, along with a few other paths. If you want to run Firefox, etc. outside of a KDE3/Trinity session (e.g. in Gnome), you have two choices: 1. Remove the kgtk-config-* packages. 2. Add the /opt/kde3/bin directory to the system wide path. For #2, more info is available at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=269793. Thank you very much! I apologize for being a newby.
