Hi, On my RedHat 8.0 laptop, I've updated evo with red-carpet (1.2.4 -> 1.4). after update all gnome apps (inclouding gnome-terminal) crash with: (gnome-terminal:1354): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: cannot create instance of abstract (non-instantiatable) type `GtkWidget' ed-carpet crashes when I click on either "installed software" "Available soft.", channels ..., but i can access "Updates" and History. I've tried to reinstall old Redhat packages, but this did not help. I alos uninstalled evolution. If gnome apps alre started from shell as root, they work. With all other users on system all apps crash. Kde is ok too. I've attached stack trace for gnome-terminal and gnome-control-center Thank you for your help! Best regards, vasja ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Starting program: /usr/bin/gnome-terminal [New Thread 16384 (LWP 1457)] (gnome-terminal:1457): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: cannot create instance of abstract (non-instantiatable) type `GtkWidget' Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
