I've installed PyChess (http://www.pychess.org/download/) But when I started I get this message:

Gtk-Message: Failed to load module "pantheon-filechooser-module"
(pychess:17640): Gtk-WARNING **: Unable to locate theme engine in module_path: "adwaita",
(pychess:17640): Gtk-WARNING **: Unable to locate theme engine in module_path: "adwaita",
Attempt to unlock mutex that was not locked
Aborted (core dumped)

I've done

sudo apt-get install libcanberra-gtk*
sudo apt-get install libcanberra-gtk-module:i386

But still not working.. Any ideas?

Updated:

sudo apt-cache policy pychess
pychess:
  Installed: 0.12~beta3-1
  Candidate: 0.12~beta3-1
  Version table:
     *** 0.12~beta3-1 0
    500 http://py.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ trusty/universe amd64 Packages
    100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

I have got same error, while trying to solve this post.

Installation from terminal command sudo apt-get install pychess

we will get beta3 version, which is very old. (Refer here).

Now download 0.12.deb and install from software center.

Note: No need to remove installed pychess, you will get upgrade option.

  • @td18 Please run sudo apt-get install libcanberra-gtk-module and add output of apt-cache policy pychess to question :)
