[SOLVED] Kubuntu 8.10 upgrade

[jcom]

Hi,
After upgrading from 8.04(hardy) to 8.10 (Intrepid) I'am not able to open firefox:

/usr/lib/firefox-3.0.3/firefox: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0: undefined symbol: g_signal_new_class_handler

In addition, the update-manager does not work:
raceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/update-manager", line 29, in <module> import gtk File "/var/lib/python-support/python2.5/gtk-2.0/gtk/__init__.py", line 48, in <module> from gtk import _gtk ImportError:/usr/lib/libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0

Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks

Re: Kubuntu 8.10 upgrade

Did you upgrade via the internet, or an Alternate Install CD?

Re: Kubuntu 8.10 upgrade

If you open a console and paste in this: sudo dpkg --configure -a
does it give an error message?

sudo dpkg --configure -a. Does not give any error.

Re: [SOLVED] Kubuntu 8.10 upgrade from 8.04

Finally . I solved the problem by manually installing glib-2.18.2.
