Default folder deleted - can not change back keybinding theme

rated 0 times [ 0] [ 0] / answers: 1 / hits: 403 / 1 Year ago, sat, january 28, 2023, 6:26:02

I accidently removed Default folder from /usr/share/themes and now can not change the Keybindig theme back to default under advanced setting -> theme. Default option is simply gone, not there anymore. Couldn't get it back...
I am using Ubuntu 12.04 with Gnome shell.
Any thoughts on what can bring this option back?
Thanks!

Open a terminal and enter

dpkg -S /usr/share/themes/Default

The command shows you which packages use (and create) this directory. In my case the output is: libgtk1.2-common, libgtk2.0-common: /usr/share/themes/Default.
So the best idea would be to reinstall both packages:

sudo apt-get --reinstall install libgtk1.2-common libgtk2.0-common

So they create the directory and fill it with the correct content.
