Bug 105820 – librxvg-2.11.1 : unable to display SVG icons (!)

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description jack_mort 2005-09-13 09:43:24 UTC]

Yesterday, librsvg was bumped from 2.95 to 2.11.1 for the new Gnome release.
While not being a Gnome user, I use Rox, which renders SVG icons through
librsvg... And with the new version, no icon is displayed anymore, constantly
getting "GtkWarning: Error loading icon: Couldn't recognize the image file
format for file '/path/to/icon/theme/icon.svg' "

Downgrading to 2.9.5 solves the problem, but I don't know if Gnome 2.12 will
work with this version.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge sync
2. update librsvg to 2.11.1
3. open Rox (also reported on the forums within Gnome)
Actual Results:  
No icons are displayed anymore !

Hmmm... svg icons work fine here (under Gnome) with this version.  Could you try
re-emerging rox after updating librsvg?

[Comment 2 jack_mort 2005-09-13 10:05:53 UTC]

Oops, forgot to mention that I've remerged Rox, librsvg with no luck... Here
http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-377977-start-150.html, you can see someone
having the same problem.

[Comment 3 Daniel Gryniewicz (RETIRED) 2005-09-13 10:31:37 UTC]

Okay, it appears that a newer version of gtk+ (>=2.8) is needed for this
librsvg.  I've put this version into the package.mask with the gnome 2.12 packages.

[Comment 4 jack_mort 2005-09-13 12:21:53 UTC]

Well, it doesn't seem to be related to GTK : the guy on the forum is already
running gtk+-2.8...

However I found http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=105745, which could
actually be the problem.

[Comment 5 Daniel Gryniewicz (RETIRED) 2005-09-13 13:44:10 UTC]

Well, that's what the upstream bug said.  At any rate, I can open XML SVG files
fine, with current portage 2.12 gnome

[Comment 6 Daniel Gryniewicz (RETIRED) 2005-09-13 13:44:47 UTC]

Could those still having this problem post gtk+ and librsvg versions?

[Comment 7 jack_mort 2005-09-13 22:47:24 UTC]

For me : 

- gtk+-2.6.10
- librsvg-2.11.1

[Comment 8 John N. Laliberte (RETIRED) 2005-10-06 16:22:09 UTC]

anyone who has previously posted, are you still having the problems?  They
should be fixed with the newer versions.

[Comment 9 jack_mort 2005-10-06 22:50:00 UTC]

I didn't see there was new versions, as they are still masked with gnome 2.12. I
will try this and report if it works.

[Comment 10 Daniel Gryniewicz (RETIRED) 2005-10-07 10:43:56 UTC]

2.12 is scheduled to come out of mask on monday, so you could wait until then.

[Comment 11 jack_mort 2005-10-08 10:08:12 UTC]

I've unmasked librsvg-2.12.6 and it seems to solve the problem !

[Comment 12 John N. Laliberte (RETIRED) 2005-10-14 20:06:35 UTC]

unmasked earlier this week, no further reports.
