Обсуждение: problems with debian+gnome2.2+pgadmin3
hi there!
i'm having problems in a debian box running gnome 2.2
i´ve installed pgadmin3 and when i try to execute it at the console prompt ít gives me the following message "GTK cannot open display". if i try to execute it through the shortcut in the gnome desktop nothing happens (the application doesn't appear and no message is shown).
if someone could help me it would be great.
tks

Please, can you precise which pgAdmin III version you are running and if you are using a Debian package or a self build? If using a package can you precise the version of the package (dpkg -l pgadmin3 should suffice)? > if i try to execute it through the shortcut in the gnome desktop > nothing happens (the application doesn't appear and no message is shown). > if someone could help me it would be great. So, I'm gonna try ;) I suppose you did the "mandatory" checks ? Do other apps launch ok? what gives echo $DISPLAY? what if you launch a gnome-terminal from the terminal you just opened? can you provide a log file with the strace of the pgadmin3 launch? $ script pipo.log then $ strace -f pgadmin3 ....<bla bla bla> $ exit Gzip the file and send it to us, that may help to figure out what's going on.

I'm gonna check it twice but I don't remember that Gnome 2.2 is distributed with Woody, to me it's 1.4 and maybe part of Gnome 2.0. Can you tell us which Debian release you are using and from where your Gnome 2.2 comes from? If you are using woody + backports, a rebuild of the package may help (or not). If you are using sarge or unstable, you should definitely update your installation (sarge is moving to Gnome 2.8) and change your sources.list for pgAdmin III packages. A backtrace may help too in addition to the strace log you have already sent. $ gdb pgadmin3 at (gdb) prompt, type "run" and whent it crashes type "bt" Regards, Raphaël
Hi Raphaël! Just to let you know I've downgraded my Gnome to version 1.4 and everything(pgadmin) is working fine. My Debian version is 3.0r2(woody stable) and the Gnome backport 2.2 was downloaded from: http://ftp.acc.umu.se/mirror/mirrors.evilgeniuses.org.uk/debian/backports/woody http://mirror.raw.no/ Raphaël, unfortunately I've had to do that because I were in a hurry(lots of job to be done). But it's ackward to downgrade gnome!!! I'll try it again when I have a little more time. Thanks a lot for your help!

My bet is that if you re-upgrade to gnome 2.2 you have to rebuild pgAdmin III from debian source. Maybe sarge will be out until that :). If you need further assistance for the rebuild of the package with your gnome 2.2 version, just come back to the list. I'll try to do my best. >Thanks a lot for your help! > > You're welcome :) Have fun! Raphaël
