CCS/CCSTUDIO: Linux, Context-Menu Fonts 'Greyed-out'

Part Number: CCSTUDIO


Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

Ahoy.

Just switched back to Linux lately, and I foolishly updated and restarted with 'sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade' without saving the log like I normally do. All context-menu (right-click menu) items appear light-gray, but are still useable. Very annoying.

Check it out:

I'm trying all options, and am posting here for complete-ness. 

I think it's probably a Java/font problem?

CCS Version: 7.4.0.00015

I'm using Ubuntu 16.04 LTS, kernel: 4.11.5-041105-lowlatency
Java version in-use (listed from 'sudo update-alternatives --config java'): java-8-openjdk-amd64

I'm unsure if CCS has specifics.

Anyone experience this, know how to fix it, or have ideas on where I should look next for a solution?

    Hi,

    Interesting; I have seen disappeared menu entries, but not simply "greyed out". It is the first time I see that. It seems that something was changed to the X server itself and caused this bad drawing. I will try to see if I can reproduce this in a VM.

    CCS uses its own JRE under ccsv7/eclipse/jre, so it can be sure the Java is compatible regardless of what is installed a user's system.

    I will see if I can reproduce this. I am currently using kernel 4.10.0.42-generic

    Regards,

    Woo! I was way off with Java.

    It was GTK2.0 plus Unity's Ambiance theme. I can't be bothered to suss-out the exact line, but to fix:

    I first switched themes to 'Radiance.'

    Delete 'Ambiance' theme's 'gtkrc' file:

    cd /usr/share/themes/Ambiance/gtk-2.0
sudo rm gtkrc

    Then copy 'Radiance' theme's gtkrc file as a replacement:

    cd /usr/share/themes/Radiance/gtk-2.0 && sudo cp gtkrc /usr/share/themes/Ambiance/gtk-2.0

    Then switch back to 'Ambiance' theme.

    Fixed!

    Searchin' the intertubes was no help. From what I gathered, the Ubuntu Team and the GTK team are at odds due to certain Unity specifics. Anyhow, that'll do it for anyone else stuck with this.

    Hi,

    Thank you for letting me know; I was sidetracked after I started an update on a VM with 16.04 and somehow Ubuntu decided to cancel the update mid term and vandalize its own /dev/sda1 (fortunately it had nothing terribly important on it). I am in the middle of the reinstall process but I am glad you were able to work this out with the GTK.

    On our end, I suspect we will have additional work when 18.04 is out - after all, it uses yet a different X server. We'll see.

    Best regards,

    Rafael
