GNOME menu icons missing?

I'm writing this from Debian box and here they have icons for each menu entry for Places and System.
How come in ArchLinux those are missing? Was it Debian that spiced up the GNOME or was it ArchLinux that does something differently from upstream GNOME configuration?

Gnome - Disabling gnome-menu icons

Hi all,
Seems that this is an old subject, as I've read throughout several posts on the net.
I want to disable the gnome-menu icons, completely, keeping the menus like the System one, which, by default, has no icons (what's the logic of that, btw?)
Gconf-editor has an option to enable/disable ONLY the icons under System (again, what is the logic?)
gconf-editor >desktop>interface>menus_have_icons
Seems that previous versions of Gnome allowed for the hiding/disabiling of all icons on the gnome-menu, which was nice behaviour - letting the user decide if they should show up or not.
Question: Is there a way to disable the icons?
Regards,
-aurocha

i don't see anything wrong with that image. that's how the apps should look from know own since its using the new menu thingy from gnome-shell.

[solved] Gnome/GTK icons missing

Hey,
yet another icon missing topic, but I didn't find anything similar to my problem in this forum.
http://img707.imageshack.us/img707/3432 … gicon1.png
http://img695.imageshack.us/img695/4341 … gicon2.png
http://img193.imageshack.us/img193/7168 … gicon3.png
As you can see, icons are missing not only in the gnome menu, but also
in firefox (gtk app). Therefore, I think the problem is more related to GTK?!
Yes, I tried serveral icon themes and engines, no success.
1. Anyone out there who got the same problem?
Because laptop and desktop have the same issue.
2. Any further information about this issue?
3. Any suggestions/advices?
Thanks in advance,
Max

Finder Menu Icons Missing

My finder menu Icons are missing this all began after I was in a login screen and ran a micro fiber cloth across the keyboard. Since then I have lost all my menu icons and boot up takes five minutes this is a Brand new 27" IMac (February 2014) running Mavericks OSX 10.9.2
I have repaired Pemissions and deleted the finder.plist
Anyone have any idea whats going on? Any Ideas or suggestions would be much appreciated.

Try setting up another admin user account to see if the same problem continues. If Back-to-My Mac is selected in System Preferences, the Guest account will not work. The intent is to see if it is specific to one account or a system wide problem. This account can be deleted later.
Isolating an issue by using another user account
If the problem is still there, try booting into the Safe Mode using your normal account. Disconnect all peripherals except those needed for the test. Shut down the computer and then power it back up after waiting 10 seconds. Immediately after hearing the startup chime, hold down the shift key and continue to hold it until the gray Apple icon and a progress bar appear. The boot up is significantly slower than normal. This will reset some caches, forces a directory check, and disables all startup and login items, among other things. When you reboot normally, the initial reboot may be slower than normal. If the system operates normally, there may be 3rd party applications which are causing a problem. Try deleting/disabling the third party applications after a restart by using the application un-installer. For each disable/delete, you will need to restart if you don't do them all at once.

Change Gnome Menu Icon [SOLVED]

Hello,
I have been able to change the main menu icon in Gnome in several other distributions running gnome 2.22 (Fedora, Debian, etc) and had no issues. The method I have always used is copy the custom icon to /usr/share/icons/gnome/24x24/places/start-here.png. I have not been successful with this in Arch. I also tried copying to the 22x22 directory and also using the GConf method (apps > panels > objects > Use_Custom_Icon...). No luck so far. I'm totally up to date with all my stuff (gnome 2.22.2), so if anyone knows a good method, it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Here's how I did it...
Assuming you're using Gnome's default icon theme:
1. Replace /usr/share/icons/gnome/24x24/places/start-here.png with your icon of choice.
2. If the theme's icon cache was previously generated (/usr/share/icons/gnome/icon-theme.cache), you can either re-generate it using the following command
# gtk-update-icon-cache /usr/share/icons/gnome
or you can just delete it (the cache is supposed to speed up GTK apps' access to the icons).
3. Restart X or # killall gnome-panel to see the change.
That's what I had to do too, but it feels like the wrong way. It should be possible to change it through the configuration editor. A bug perhaps?
Edit: Replacing the icon file was not possible with the default icon theme. However, it works on other themes.

No gnome menu icons [solved]

Hi fellas, I have a bit of a problem, it is not vital though, just that there are no icons next to any of the item in any drop-down menu (right mouse button menu, main gnome menu etc...)
Thanks

Didn't help. It was ok when I first installed the system, I just tried changing icons, it worked at first but after one boot it just didn't load, I tried changing everything back to previous state, it didn't come back up though. What should I do, I don't wanna reinstall the whole system, it took me days to modify it to the way I wanted it.

Gnome applet Icons Missing

I installed a fresh arch linux on another pc. I installed gnome and gnome-extras. There is one problem:
The icons on the "system tray" are missing. The applets are there but the icons are not shown:
I already rebuilt the hicolor and gnome icons (and re-logged) with no result. Am I missing something?

Ok here is something weird I found out.
I am using xorg without xorg.conf. Since I have a Voodoo3 card I installed the xf86-video-tdfx driver. After a xorg restart the icons are working but the mouse flickers when I move it and there are graphic bugs when restoring windows.
So I removed the tdfx driver and reverted to the vesa driver. The mouse does not flicker anymore but the applet icons are gone.

5800 Download! menu icon missing

A while ago my 5800XM locked up and I had to reset it to the original factory settings. After that my phone worked perfectly but whenever I tried to open the "Download!" icon thing it said something like "Fatal error has occured -shutting down" and wouldn't open. Then I updated my phone a few days ago to V 51.0.006 and I opened the menu to find that the Icon had completely gone! I wasn't that disappointed because I thought it was just a link to an app download site or something but I recently read somewhere that it has stuff like a .zip opener and I really need something like that on my phone. Does anyone know what has happened and how I can get it back???
I was born in the wrong generation for music but the right one for technology! ;D

Yes I do have it on my phone,I had it just before I reset my phone too and it replaced the Download! icon but now it's in my applications folder. I hardly ever use it anymore though because whenever I try to download something it says "download failed" or when I'm just browsing it it closes itself. It never used to do that and it's quite annoying.
If Ovi Store replaced the download! icon the what happened to the .zip file opener? I have frequently read that the 5800 is capable of opening .zip files but oddly whenever I touch a zip file it opens the Ovi Maps application
I was born in the wrong generation for music but the right one for technology! ;D

Gnome Cheese: Icons missing

[SOLVED] Rubyripper icon not displaying in Gnome menu

Hi.
The Rubyripper icon doesn't show up in my applications menu (Gnome). The .desktop file reads
[jm@elroy ~]$ cat /usr/share/applications/rubyripper.desktop | grep Icon
Icon=rubyripper
And the icon is present in my filesystem
[jm@elroy ~]$ find /usr/share/icons/ -name rubyripper.png
/usr/share/icons/hicolor/128x128/apps/rubyripper.png
What can I do?
Last edited by hennes (2008-05-21 06:49:50)

The icons for the gnome menu have to be located in /usr/share/pixmaps I guess, check if a rubyripper.* icon is present there. If not, copy an icon into that folder [name: rubyripper(.png | .xpm | .svg ...)]
If present, maybe the icon cache should be updated. Try
gtk-update-icon-cache
or
gtk-update-icon-cache -f /usr/share/icons/{your icon theme}
to force an overwrite; with root privileges. (I guess your theme is hicolor.)
I missed some icons too, but I did never mind. One day, they occured... so if nothing helps, wait ^^

Menu Bar Icons Missing

Pre-Yosemite I was running Obsidian Bar and Bartender but since I've update my menu is missing several icons including the time, batter image/percentage, and user. When I go to System Preferences and select Date & Time and go to clock, whenever I check the box that says "Show date and time in menu bar" but every time i check the box it will instantly uncheck itself. I don't use time machine so thats not an option. Looking for a way to reset my menu bar to factory settings without changing my entire laptop

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your documents or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this behavior; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Please take this step regardless of the results of Step 1.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled in OS X 10.9 or earlier, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of Steps 1 and 2.

[Solved] Gnome 3 Shell - Icons Missing After Update

After my last update session, some icons went missing in Gnome. Even more unsettling, only some are missing. From what I can tell, my application icons haven't gone anywhere, but things such as minimize, restore, close, etc. are 404. Here's a photo to explain: https://vps.nullh.net/uploads/gnome-icon-issue.png I also noticed nvidia is included in the last update. I searched the forums, but all of the other problems seemed to be different problems (e.g. application icons were all bunched up/missing, desktop icons "missing", etc.) I feel like I should probably have more icons in the folders, too, but I haven't looked in there before the problem to be sure. Also, Alt+F2 "r" doesn't make a difference, the shell reloads but the icons are still AWOL. If anyone has any ideas, I am all ears.

Why are the movie and television icons missing from my Apple TV menu?

Why are the movie and television icons missing from my Apple TV menu?

likely because it does not have a working connection to the internet
check the settings and maybe reenter the wifi pasword

How can I extract pages from a PDF? The Tools menu is missing.

I used to be able to extract pages from my PDF file. I don't see the tools icon anymore. How can I access the tools icon?

Hi lenm,
To extract pages, you need to use Acrobat (not Adobe Reader). As I can attest (because I do have both Reader and Acrobat installed on the same computer), it is quite easy to open files in Reader when you mean to open then in Acrobat. So, please make sure you have the right app open. (I pull this one all the time!)
Now, if the Tools menu is missing from Acrobat, choose View > Show/Hide > Toolbar Items > Show Toolbars to make them reappear.
Please let us know how it goes.
Best,
Sara
