Bug 46207 – some gnome desctkop icons are SVG - and won't display

• Status: RESOLVED INVALID
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Ákos Maróy 2004-03-29 23:40:02 UTC]

when logging in to my gnome desktop, I get the error message:

Failed to load image gnome-home.png

Details: Couldn't recognize the image file format for file '/usr/share/icons/Nuvola/scalable/apps/gnome-home.svg'


and indeed, a lot of icons are not displayed on the desktop, but a paper with a red X is shown instead.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
gnome icons are not displayed

Expected Results:  
gnome icons would be displayed

this effect comes after I have executed an emerge depclean, then logged out, and
logged in back again. I'm looking at all available packages related to SVG. The
only relevant package seems to be gnome-base/librsvg, which is installed correclty.

your emerge info ?  if you updated to gtk+-2.4 lately, did you rebuild your engines ?

[Comment 2 Ákos Maróy 2004-03-30 01:37:05 UTC]

if I updated gtk+ 2.4 lately - frankly, I don't gnow. I did an emerge sync, emerge update, but if gtk was also included in this step, I don't remember.

if I update gtk, I have to recompile everything that uses it?

this might be the case, as I manually re-emerged librsvg, and the missing SVG-based icons are there. but some visual artifacts (like scrollbars) are ugly. should I re-emerge everything that uses gtk?

anyway, here's the gtk I have:

No, you should rebuild your engines as stated at the end of the gtk+ emerge (in the ebuild). I wonder how you got gtk+-2.4 anyway if you run x86 only, it doesn't make sense. That should not happen if you only did your casual world update.

Anyway closing this invalid, it's not a bug.

[Comment 4 Ákos Maróy 2004-03-30 22:19:25 UTC]

from some packages I needed newer ones than available for x86, so I went for

ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86" emerge foo-bar

for these packages. only a few though. Maybe one of them pulled in GTK 4.

anyway, my question is still: if I replace GTK, I have to re-emerge all packages using GTK? if so, how do I find out which packages use gtk?

equery depgraph gtk+

shows the packages gtk+ is dependent on, but I don't see a way to list packages that depend on gtk+

[Comment 5 Spider (RETIRED) 2004-03-30 22:48:27 UTC]

no, you don't need to rebuild things depending on gtk+
You -do- however need to rebuild things that change how gtk+ works. that means theme engines and the likes.

thanks, this really solved my problem...
