Hello,

This may be a version mismatch; What version of gtk is currently installed? You may have to downgrade to a lower version, since this seems like a newer version is installed, and it is not recognizing the older format.

Cheers,

Josh

My version of GTK+ is 2.24.6

is there a certain version i should downgrade to?

Hmmm... May be the theme itself you are using. Can you try switching to a different theme to see if the problem persists?

Well i switched themes and im not getting the error i was using a custom theme by the way from gnome-look.org

but now my radiobox wont show up. not that it did before but its not showing up.

here is my code am i doing somthing wrong...?

Code:

#!/bin/bash



if [ $(whoami) != "root" ]; then

 zenity --error --text="Sorry ! your are not root user."

 exit 1

fi



zenity --info --text="This Script will backup a selected directory to a external drive for you."



zenity --info --text="Press okay and you will be able to chose if you would like to backup or restore"



menu(){

im="zenity --list --radiolist --width=800 --height=600 --title\"Huntaz's backup utility\""

im=$im" --column=\" \" --column \"What would you like to do?\" --column \"Description\" "



im=$im"FALSE \"Task 1\" \"Backup\" "

im=$im"FALSE \"Task 2\" \"Restore\" "

}



option(){

choice= 'echo $im | sh -'



if echo $choice | grep "Task 1" > /dev/null;

then





clear



zenity --question="This is going to format your external drive are you sure?" FORMAT



zenity --entry="Please specify the name of your external drive, Example : /dev/sdb/ " DRIVEN



zenity --entry="Please specify the directory you would like to backup Example : /home/$(whoami)/Documents/" DIR



zenity --entry="Please specify what you would like the backup to be called " BNAME



umount "$DRIVEN"

mkfs.vfat -n Backup -I "$DRIVEN"

cd /mnt/usbflash/

mount "$DRIVEN" /mnt/usbflash/

sudo tar -cf - "$DIR" | gzip -c > /mnt/usbflash/"$BNAME".tar.gz

zenity --info --text="Your backup is complete"

fi

menu

option

}

please ignore those bottom zenity questions i forgot to revise them according to what i have now lol
