I get an error.  See the screenshot.



Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.  rm -rf ~/.themes
2.  right click on the desktop pager, select "Desktop Pager" settings

Actual Results:  
1.  Error message (see screenshot)
2.  ~/.themes now exists and is empty
3.  Repeating the operation doesn't do anything different

Expected Results:  
Access to the desktop pager settings.

Comment 3 Jonas Stein gentoo-dev 2015-10-06 12:43:08 UTC
This looks like a bug in the upstream source code to me. If it is still present in the latest LXDE version, it should be reported to lxde.org.
Comment 5 Hanno Böck gentoo-dev 2016-09-22 06:14:14 UTC
According to comment #4 this is a bug in obconf, not lxpanel. Reassigning and changing title.

It seems upstream obconf hasn't done a new release since 2013. So either this fix should be backported or we should change to using git snapshots of obconf.
Comment 6 Raymond Jennings 2016-09-22 07:22:51 UTC
Are you sure its a segfault?

I just got nailed again and this came up in the error message box:

Unable to extract the file "6".
Please ensure that "/home/shentino/.themes" is writable and that the file is a valid Openbox theme archive.
The following errors were reported:
tar (child): 6: Cannot open: No such file or directory
tar (child): Error is not recoverable: exiting now
tar: Child returned status 2
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now

Also, I'm doubting it was really a segfault because I can't find a core dump.
Comment 7 Andreas Sturmlechner gentoo-dev 2021-03-13 23:13:47 UTC
Maybe at this point a gtk3-based snapshot would be justified.
Comment 8 Andreas Sturmlechner gentoo-dev 2021-05-05 00:30:30 UTC
Please checkout the PR.
Comment 9 Andreas Sturmlechner gentoo-dev 2021-05-15 11:16:38 UTC
No volunteers for testing?
Comment 10 Andreas Sturmlechner gentoo-dev 2021-05-15 11:28:56 UTC
I've checked other downstreams, they either package p20150213-style version as well, add patches for libglade-- and gtk3++ or hide the last upstream commit behind a faux 2.0.4 version. That'll have to do then.
