GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 131569
Nautilus icons do not appear
Last modified: 2004-12-22 21:47:04 UTC
Description of Problem: Desktop icons are not read from themes, only appear as white slips of paper. Additionally, when switching icon theme manually through "Theme Details," icons in gnome panel (launchers, gnome menu, etc.) are not updated, though system pauses and seems to be attempting to apply them. However, changing to one of the predefined themes (such as Large Print) does have an effect on the panel icons, but not on the desktop icons. Actual Results: System pauses as if applying changes, but nothing happens (see above for examples) Expected Results: Icons conform to requested theme. How often does this happen? All the time. Problems persist with the creation of a new user as well, so it is deeper than just a config file problem. Additional Information: Running Fedora Core 1, RPMs updated via yum with RPMs from Nyquist -- repository at: http://people.ecsc.co.uk/~matt/downloads/yum/devel, no errors were reported on the install, and all dependencies were (apparently) fulfilled.
I couldn't find any dups, and I tried to help Brian resolve this in #bugs for a while yesterday. So, I'm adding the bugsquad keyword, setting the priority to high, and setting the version to 2.5.x.
TARGET2.6.0. Loads of people are seeing this. People keep coming into #bugs and saying they see this. It's not just a couple of systems.
I'm seeing it with a handbuilt system, Hallski said he saw it and fixed it by rebuilding everything...
Does this happen to anyone with a control center newer than November 11? (At that date Marco added the Net/IconThemeName to gnome control center, so if your control center is older, gtk+ will default to "hicolor" which doesn't contain mime icons).
Mine's newer, dated Nov. 28: [brian@selah brian]$ ls -l /usr/bin/gnome-control-center -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 32688 Nov 28 17:57 /usr/bin/gnome-control-center
bhpascal: Feel free to reopen bugs of yours that are marked as NEEDINFO when you add the extra corresponding information. I'll do it now, but I'm just letting you know that you can do that in the future. :)
bhpascal, are you sure the _source code_ is newer than November 13th? Note that since your control center binary is from November 28th, the only way this could be the case is if you actually checked it out of CVS between the 13th and the 28th. The first _released_ control center with the fix (2.5.1) is from December 30th. What does gnome-control-center --version give you?
Ah hah: [brian@selah brian]$ gnome-control-center --version Gnome control-center 2.4.0 Something seems not to have been updated properly. Incidentally, while skimming the output of rpm -qa | grep gnome, I found this: [brian@selah brian]$ rpm -qa | grep gnome ... gnome-mime-data-2.4.0-3 ... I'm not sure if that's helpful, but there it is. An updated version doesn't exist in the repository that I'm using.
Closing as FIXED.
