notification-daemon-xfce fails to update icon cache while installing, so no icon is displayed in the menu/settings manager even after a reboot. It was necessary to manually update the icon cache with: sudo gtk-update-icon-cache -f -t /usr/share/icons/hicolor The elog confirms that no icon cache updates was done by the ebuild despite the pkg_postinst function which calls "gnome2_icon_cache_update". Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.emerge notification-daemon-xfce 2.login/reboot 3.check the menu or settings manager Actual Results: No icon is displayed Expected Results: The notification-daemon icon shuold be displayed Portage 2.1.4.4 (default/linux/amd64/2008.0/desktop, gcc-4.1.2, glibc-2.6.1-r0, 2.6.26-gentoo-r1 x86_64) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.26-gentoo-r1 x86_64 Intel(R) Core(TM)2 CPU T7200 @ 2.00GHz Timestamp of tree: Mon, 08 Sep 2008 10:04:01 +0000 app-shells/bash: 3.2_p33 dev-lang/python: 2.5.2-r6 sys-apps/baselayout: 1.12.11.1 sys-apps/sandbox: 1.2.18.1-r2 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.13, 2.61-r2 sys-devel/automake: 1.5, 1.7.9-r1, 1.9.6-r2, 1.10.1 sys-devel/binutils: 2.18-r3 sys-devel/gcc-config: 1.4.0-r4 sys-devel/libtool: 1.5.26 virtual/os-headers: 2.6.23-r3 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="amd64" CBUILD="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-O2 -march=nocona -pipe" CHOST="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/kde/3.5/env /usr/kde/3.5/share/config /usr/kde/3.5/shutdown /usr/share/config" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/ca-certificates.conf /etc/env.d /etc/fonts/fonts.conf /etc/gconf /etc/init.d /etc/revdep-rebuild /etc/terminfo /etc/texmf/web2c /etc/udev/rules.d" CXXFLAGS="-O2 -march=nocona -pipe" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS="--with-bdeps=y" FEATURES="distlocks metadata-transfer parallel-fetch sandbox sfperms strict unmerge-orphans userfetch" FFLAGS="-O2 -march=nocona -pipe" GENTOO_MIRRORS="ftp://ftp.unina.it/pub/linux/distributions/gentoo http://mirror.ing.unibo.it/gentoo/ ftp://mirror.ing.unibo.it/gentoo/ http://mirror.switch.ch/ftp/mirror/gentoo/ ftp://mirror.switch.ch/mirror/gentoo/" LDFLAGS="-Wl,-O1" LINGUAS="en" MAKEOPTS="-j3" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_RSYNC_OPTS="--recursive --links --safe-links --perms --times --compress --force --whole-file --delete --stats --timeout=180 --exclude=/distfiles --exclude=/local --exclude=/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/mnt/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/mnt/overlays/mine /mnt/overlays/layman/science /mnt/overlays/layman/sunrise" SYNC="rsync://rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="X acl acpi alsa amd64 bash-completion berkdb bluetooth bzip2 cairo cdr cli cracklib crypt cups dbus dri dvd dvdr dvdread emboss encode fam ffmpeg firefox fortran ftp gdbm gif gphoto2 gpm gtk hal iconv imagemagick ipv6 isdnlog jpeg kerberos lapack latex ldap libnotify lirc mad midi mikmod mmx mp3 mpeg msn mudflap multilib ncurses nptl nptlonly ogg opengl openmp oss pam pcre pdf perl png ppds pppd python quicktime readline reflection samba sdl session spell spl sqlite sse sse2 ssl ssse3 startup-notification svg sysfs tcpd tiff truetype unicode usb v4l2 vim-syntax vorbis xcomposite xml xorg xscreensaver xv xvid zlib" ALSA_CARDS="ali5451 als4000 atiixp atiixp-modem bt87x ca0106 cmipci emu10k1x ens1370 ens1371 es1938 es1968 fm801 hda-intel intel8x0 intel8x0m maestro3 trident usb-audio via82xx via82xx-modem ymfpci" ALSA_PCM_PLUGINS="adpcm alaw asym copy dmix dshare dsnoop empty extplug file hooks iec958 ioplug ladspa lfloat linear meter mmap_emul mulaw multi null plug rate route share shm softvol" APACHE2_MODULES="actions alias auth_basic authn_alias authn_anon authn_dbm authn_default authn_file authz_dbm authz_default authz_groupfile authz_host authz_owner authz_user autoindex cache dav dav_fs dav_lock deflate dir disk_cache env expires ext_filter file_cache filter headers include info log_config logio mem_cache mime mime_magic negotiation rewrite setenvif speling status unique_id userdir usertrack vhost_alias" ELIBC="glibc" INPUT_DEVICES="keyboard mouse synaptics" KERNEL="linux" LCD_DEVICES="bayrad cfontz cfontz633 glk hd44780 lb216 lcdm001 mtxorb ncurses text" LINGUAS="en" LIRC_DEVICES="macmini" USERLAND="GNU" VIDEO_CARDS="i810 vesa" Unset: CPPFLAGS, CTARGET, INSTALL_MASK, LANG, LC_ALL, PORTAGE_COMPRESS, PORTAGE_COMPRESS_FLAGS, PORTAGE_RSYNC_EXTRA_OPTS
There is no reason this wouldn't be done, as the icon cache updating was fixed on 27th June for bug 229333. Maybe it wasn't your first install and it unmerged something that did have an update of icon cache missing? Otherwise something wonky is going on at your place, which needs more data to debug, such as a build log.
Created attachment 165254 [details] notification-daemon-xfce build log (with extra debugging output) Here is the build log. To reproduce this bug and obtain the attached log I did exactly this: $ emerge -C notification-daemon-xfce $ gtk-update-icon-cache -f -t /usr/share/icons/hicolor $ FEATURES="keeptemp keepwork" emerge -d notification-daemon-xfce Icon cache was not updated and I had to do it manually... When I hit this bug for the first time I did an: $ emerge -C notification-daemon $ emerge notification-daemon-xfce
Ah perfect -- a build log with debugging turned on. Looks to me as though there is a missing call to gnome2_icon_savelist in pkg_preinst, so $GNOME2_ECLASS_ICONS is empty when gnome2_icon_cache_update gets called. Assigning to maintainers now that there is sufficient info to work with.
thanks, fixed
