Gtk-WARNING **: Unable to locate theme engine in module_path: “pixmap”
Posted by on November 7, 2011
People seem to encounter the error:
Gtk-WARNING **: Unable to locate theme engine in module_path: "pixmap"
in different situations. For me it appeared while running my open source project in Eclipse, a project that is based on swing.
The solution was installing gtk2-engines-pixbuf:
sudo apt-get install gtk2-engines-pixbuf

Actually theres a small typo in your command. it should be as follows:
sudo apt-get install gtk2-engines-pixbuf
As in engines (plural) not singular.
Great tip though!!
Thanks. I thought I’ve made a copy paste from the command line…turns out not š
thanks for sharing this š
Welcome. That’s why I created this blog to help me remember solutions for this small little problems.
Thx but may i know use of pixmap?
To be honest I don’t know what’s it used for š
Thanks for the tip; I was getting these messages running chromium-browser from the command line, but installing pixbuf solved it.
Welcome, glad to help
This solution fixed the error when using “gksudo gedit” — I actually copied-pasted the apt-get command with the plural “engines” before reading about the type, and yet it worked! Or maybe the correct command is the plural. ?
Yes, the correct command is the plural. I have corrected the initial post already in the past based on the comment.
Thank you.
thank you very much. I’m using micropolis, the open source port of simcity, as a city simulator
Thanks man, great help.
