Bug 695368 – x11-themes/nuovo-icon-theme - No icons visible/usable in Plasma

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED INVALID

[Description Red 2019-09-22 00:56:18 UTC]

x11-themes/nuovo-icon-theme does not create any visible/usable icons for Plasma.

Selecting the theme will cause all icons to go blank.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install x11-themes/nuovo-icon-theme
2. Run systemsettings5
3. Go to Appearance->Icons
Actual Results:  
The icon theme "Dropline Nuovo" is void of icons. Selecting the icon theme turns almost all icons on Plasma blank.

Expected Results:  
The icons should be both visible and usable in Plasma.

Let me know which plasma/KDE package(s) for which you want the version number.

Possible related bug: 695364

This is not a duplicate. Installing only this package, without the other ones, still has the problem.

When the icon cache update fails for a specific directory, then applications will not be able to use that cache. One thing leads to another.

Is there someone I can talk to on IRC or Discord? Bugs 695366, 695368, and 695372 have nothing to do with 695364 and I can talk you through the difference.

Other themes successfully install when nuovo-icon-theme is removed. However, yasis-icon-theme and gargantuan-icon-theme have no icons in plasma. All other themes installed subsequently work properly.

If you have any questions let me know and I can talk you through it on IRC or Discord and prove that the bugs have nothing to do with each other.

Bug 695364 does however block this bug 695368.

Perhaps I can explain it this way:

Theme Name / icon-cache issue? / missing icons in Plasma?

nou-icon-theme / Yes (bug 695362) / No
nuovo-icon-theme / Yes (bug 695364) / Yes (bug 695368)
yasis-icon-theme / No / Yes (bug 695366)
gargantuan-icon-theme / No / Yes (bug 695372)

Before making any changes or suggestions regarding these bugs I've been filing, I will discuss on the forum, so that others can verify the issues and help me explain things to the Bugzilla people better:

Per discussion on the forum, this is not a bug, as themes have to support Plasma and this one does not:

I've marked it as "Resolved Invalid" as it is not a duplicate of other bugs despite confusion. See the forum for more information.
