I ran into this problem myself while trying to figure out why gcolor2 is missing all of its preset colors. While running an strace on it I noticed it's looking for this rgb.txt which doesn't exist.
16:40:24.658326 access("/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/rgb.txt", F_OK) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) 16:40:24.659307 access("/usr/lib/X11/rgb.txt", F_OK) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) 16:40:24.659699 access("/etc/X11/rgb.txt", F_OK) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) 16:40:24.660114 access("/usr/openwin/lib/X11/rgb.txt", F_OK) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) 16:40:24.660731 open("/home/nick/.rgb.txt", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) Which lead me to this bug report. -- missing "/etc/X11/rgb.txt" file and broken link to it https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/300935 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
