hicolor icon theme
Last modified: 2005-10-24 03:58:39 UTC
Please describe the problem: Hi, I've recently upgraded gnome from 2.8 to 2.10, Both were installed in different directories, and i've deleted the old one. Installation went thru fine. But what ever application i'm running (for eg. gconf-editor), i'm getting an error on the console saying hicolor icon theme is not installed. ===================== (gconf-editor:13071): Gtk-WARNING **: Could not find the icon 'stock_add-bookmark'. The 'hicolor' theme was not found either, perhaps you need to install it. You can get a copy from: http://freedesktop.org/Software/icon-theme/releases for gnome-font-properties (gnome-font-properties:27606): Gtk-WARNING **: Could not find the icon 'gnome-settings-font'. The 'hicolor' theme was not found either, perhaps you need to install it. You can get a copy from: http://freedesktop.org/Software/icon-theme/releases ===================== But I've installed hicolor icon theme and also gnome-themes. before installing gconf-editor. I'm getting this kind of error with every gnome application. And worst of all when i try to run control-center, all i'm getting is a blank wiindow with white background. I've never faced such kind of problems with gnome-2.8 Somebody please help me. Steps to reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual results: Expected results: Does this happen every time? Other information:

How did you install the hicolor-theme? In the same prefix as the rest of GNOME? What version? Please give more information.
I've installed every thing from garnome only. garnome-2.10.0. Hicolor icon theme and rest of gnome apps were installed in the same prefix. hicolor-icon-theme 0.7 garnome and gnome 2.10.0
Thanks for getting back to us with new information. If everything was built in the right order and according to documented procedures for garnome use I have to suggest you take this up on garnome-list@gnome.org first. Just want to make sure this isn't a bug in garnome itself since I've been building 2.10.x from CVS without problems for a long time.
do you still get this issue?
I've rebuilt gnome from garnome 2.10.1.1. and yes, i'm still getting this error always. I'm getting this application with various applications, like control-center, gnome-font-properties, etc. etc.
Hi, Compiled gnome 2.10 on a gentoo gnu/linux PC box. It seems that I have a similar issue. Icons from the hicolor theme seem to be ignored. Indeed in the gnome menu, I cannot see several icons. For instance the gconf-editor installs its icon only in the 48x48/apps of the hi color theme, and it is not displayed in the gnome menu. It is the same issue with vino, other applications and applets! Is this a bug or a config issue? As far as I know the freedesktop icon std has been implemented in gnome, hasn't it?
does this still happen?
Yes, It still happens. Recently couple of days back i've compiled entire gnome-2.10 on a SuSE 9.1 machine for its default kernel using gcc-3.3.3. The default compiler that comes with SuSE 9.1. When i start a gnome-session, several applications crash. and several applications do not show up the icons, and gives me those hicolor icon theme errors. I've compiled gnome-2.10.1 for some 10 times atleast and every time i get the same errors. I do not know if its problem with SuSE or with gnome.
I suggest you talk to the garnome mailing list first as this seems to be garnome related. this seems to be some icon installation problem. I have built stable Gnome using garnome as well (on Debian) and have not faced your problems. Perhaps it may indeed be a SuSE-related garnome problem.
reassigning to garnome
Does this still occur with garnome-2.12.1? I'm guessing there is something wrong with SUSE...???
Nope, Gnome-2.12.0 itself works fine. I did not try with 2.12.1, but i think, you can close this. Thanks, Surya
Closing per reporter's wishes.
