How to: Fixing missing icons in gtk applications

I'm posting this for others to stumble upon, since the other threads covering this problem are already closed or very old, and none of them answer the question sufficiently.
Upon updating a few days ago, I lost all icons in some gtk applications, for example nautilus and evince (side by side on this screenshot):
I searched through the forums and google and found several suggested solutions:
Reinstalling librsvg
Reinstalling gtk-update-icon-cache
Running /usr/bin/gdk-pixbuf-query-loaders --update-cache as root
None of these things made any difference for me, not even after rebooting. You can try them, but what finally made things work for me was:
Install any other icon theme, e.g. oxygen-icons
Use lxappearance/gtk-theme-switch2 or manually edit .gtkrc-2.0 to change the icon theme to the newly installed one
Open one of the affected gtk applications - Most of the icons will be shown
Change the icon theme back to whatever you had before (GNOME/hicolor in my case)
Now all the icons in evince/nautilus seem fixed and you can uninstall the other icon theme
There must be a more straight-forward method, but /usr/bin/gdk-pixbuf-query-loaders --update-cache is not it and at least this method worked for me.

Add this line in your .gtkrc-2.0:
gtk-toolbar-style=GTK_TOOLBAR_TEXT
Edit...
Mental note: read more carefully before post
Yes, is GTK_TOOLBAR_ICONS instead of GTK_TOOLBAR_TEXT.

  • How to fix missing icons after upgrade to mountain lion

    Any experience with this problem: all my icons are missing in any aplication: in finder/safari etc no icon left to the omnibox, only empty spaces, and no visible computers on the left in the finder window...
    resetted ram's but no change,
    any clue?

    If restarting does not fix this, you will have to install Mountain Lion again. You can try creating a new user and see if the problem reproduces with that user before reinstalling, but for what I've seen, it won't work.

    작성날짜 : 2004-11-09
    (R11) HOW TO FIX MISSING CM DATA IN AR_PAYMENT_SCHEDULES_ALL TABLE
    ==================================================================
    PURPOSE
    Credit Memo data가
    AR_PAYMENT_SCHEDULES_ALL TABLE과 AR_RECEIVABLE_APPLICATIONS_ALL 에 생성
    이 되어 있지 않는 경우 datafix script 으로 해결할 수 있도록 한다.
    Problem Description
    주로 타 시스템에서 autoinvoice 를 통해 넘어온 cm data에서 자주 발생하는 문제로 credit transaction 화면을 통해 보았을때 100% 로 applied 된 credit memo 임에도 applied 된 transaction의 balance에 전혀 영향을 주지 않는다.
    cm_info_11.sql 을 수행해 보면 ar_payment_schedules_all table과 ar_receivable_applications_all table에 해당 데이타가 존재하지 않음을 알수 있다.
    Workaround
    Solution Description
    1. AR Support Script Page (http://eastapps.us.oracle.com/appsar/SQL/SQL.htm) 에서 trx.sql과 pay.sql을 download 받는다. 이때 홈페이지 상의 90 Days, 150 Days 등은 transaction date scope을 의미한다. 즉 현재일로 부터 90일전까지의 transaction인 경우는 trx.sql을 150 일전까지의 transaction인 경우는 trx150.sql 을 download 받아야 한다.
    2. trx.sql 을 수행한다.
    3. trx.sql 수행시 생성되는 trx_<trx_id>.log 를 trx.sql 로 rename하여 다시 수행한다.
    4. 정상적으로 수행되었는지 확인 후 pay.sql을 수행한다.
    5. pay_<ps_id>.log 를 pay.sql로 rename한 후 수행한다.

    hi ravenas,
    thanks for the reply.
    anyways, is it possible that whenever guest logins into the system, the windows page bounds configuration like front panel bounds in labview be fetched so that the same will be configured to the vi's front panel programatically.
    by doing this the windows components will automatically get hide.
    or is there any better solution.

  • How do I fix missing icons after wake from sleep?

    This issue will not go away and continues as a significant bug in Mountain Lion 10.8.2.
    If I let the battery drain beyond 5% and put it to sleep. Or if it goes into hibernation automatically due to low battery power. Imust push the power button to wake it.
    It then shows the progress bar to gather the data and starts back up normally. Except that now icons in the bar area show artifacts, and native Apple top screen menu item icons such as bluetooth and Wi-Fi no longer show after a full shut down and/or restart.
    What's worse is that all Mail, Safari, Text Edit and other native applications loose normally visible icons displaying blank boxes where they would normally show.
    Running Disk Utility and Disk Warrior does not correct the problem. And starting up in Safe Mode has no effect. An Apple store unchecked the automatic graphics switching. But that does not work to solve the problem.
    Today, the Finder would not launch on restart and had to be launched manually each time after a restart.
    An SMC or PRAM process also do not fix the problem.
    I also deleted all cashes and rebuilt launch services running Onyx. It doesn't fix the problem either. The last thing I did was reinstall 10.8.2 from a flash drive installer. Still no joy.
    Has anyone found a better way to fix this problem without going through the tedious system restore?

    For the Downloads icon. From your Safari menu bar click View > Customize Toolbar.
    Drag up the default toolbar.
    You need the folder for the Mountain Lion installer in the Dock.

  • How to fix 'missing files' in Lightroom 4? [was: adobe lightroom 4]

    Hi,
    I have the scenario whereby all the images, I assumed, on my hard drive were as I imported to my  catalogue.  but it now appears that all of my images, are showing as previews but some are showing as 'missing files'.  Attempts to reconnect are proving futile as the usual click on and find previous file location location point me to the 'c' drive with a request for the file name.  On doing this, the 'C' drive doesn't appear to the have file name I require.  Have I in-advertately scrubbed something?  I have a lot of images of my grandkids, some of which I can delete but there is one particular image of my premature born grandaughter in the hospital I really need to keep.
    I can't do any saving, moving of files whilst these question marks are in place, can someone help as this software, is not as user friendly as I first assumed.  All I want is a simple walk thru explanation of saving images from a camera and sorting of existing HD files,(many from past shoots on different cameras), to enable me to sort into some kind of format.
    Would it be a good idea to completely scrub all of my images from the 'C' hard drive, (I have a backup on my external deskstop drive), and start afresh?
    I have a external drive connected to my laptop and all those images are showing ok with no missing file links.   It's only the laptop internal drive that is showing the problem.
    any help would be a bonus as the online youtbe video instructions don't answer my problem.

    Thanks Jim for your response,
    I will upgrade to 5.3

  • [Solved] Missing icons in GTK apps?

    I'm missing some icons in GTK2 apps. Fbpanel doesn't have any task icons, and Gaim doesn't have buddy icons. There might be more, but those are the ones I've noticed so far....
    I just reinstalled Arch using the pacman -r method, so I think I missed some packages....   :oops:
    Also, although it doesn't belong here, what package provides the "killall" command? I need that one too...

    Fixed it. Pacman -S gdk-pixbuf and all was well. I figured it out after looking at the X log and realizing I was getting pixbuf errors. Doh!

  • How to handle missing NIDAQ in built application?

    Hello everybody. I wrote an application for measurement. It is distributes as an installer with included LV Runtime and Visa Runtime. It also needs NIDAQmx but because its size I do not include it to the installer but inform the user to install it if it isn't yet. Because I put a lot of effort to have nice and smart error handling I also tried what happens if I run my application without having NIDAQmx installed. And what happens is not really nice as you can see from the pictures. And it's not even all the errors. 
    What I would like to achieve is to have just one error being displayed that nidaq is missing - similar to when runtime is missing. Is it possible to set this in the config file? Otherwise I don't know how I could handle this from within my application because those errors appears before it starts.
    Thanks a lot

  • How to associate an icon with an application

    Hi folks,
    I have what I think should be an easy question, but I'm at my wit's end trying to solve it. I just used fink to download gimp and it works fine. However, I need to start it from the command line, and I would really like to be able to just click on an icon in the dock. The gimp icon is available, but I don't know how to associate it with the command to launch the gimp. Any tips or suggestions would be warmly received.
    Thanks in advance,
    Carl

    You can't really "associate" an icon with a command/executable in OS X - it has to be provided by an application. Is there a reason why you don't want to use one of the packaged versions of gimp, such as http://gimp-app.sourceforge.net/ ?

  • How I fixed missing mac from sidebar & Back to My Mac

    So I updated to Yosemite, 10.10, and Back to My Mac stopped working for one of them. I scoured the interwebs looking for help and didn't find any so when I stumbled on a solution I figured I would share the steps it took to replicate my success. I also hope someone with more knowledge can weigh in on what's not necessary and what may be a better approach.
    So first off I needed to identify the offending computer(s). If you're like me 1 of my 4 linked computers didn't show up in the sidebar. (Oddly enough the day after I fixed one another dropped out so I needed to follow the steps again and got almost identical results.)

    As you can see Mac Mini 1 is not an iCloud member. I triple checked. Tried turning BTMM and Find My Mac on and off to no avail. Sooo I:
    •Repair permissions
    •Deselect all options in /System Preferences/Sharing
    •/System Preferences/iCloud - Sign out and delete all local content
    •Restart
    •Delete /Library/Preferences/com.apple.BackToMyMac.plist
    •Delete /Library/Preferences/com.apple.FindMyMac.plist
    •Delete /Library/Preferences/com.apple.FindMyMac.plist.lockfile
    •Delete files in: ~Library/Applications Support/Screen Sharing
    •Restart
    •Wait a few minutes after login to make sure the system has time to settle in. (I have allot of start-up items) Then go to /System Preferences/iCloud Sign back in
    •Wait a few minutes
    •run “dns-sd -B  _afpovertcp._tcp” in command line again. The affected machine should now be listed as an iCloud member.
    I had an issue with iCould and needed to sign out of iCloud a second time, reboot, and log back in a third time to get it all to register properly. I’m not sure if this will be the same for everyone or if I was just impatient. This occurred BOTH times. The very next day my Mac Pro Home, which was working just fine hours earlier, dropped out of being registered. I did register Mac Mini 3 this morning and it's possible that another registered computer caused a conflict but that's just me guessing.
    My home router is still not registering and I'm not sure why. It's the same router that needs to be restarted periodically to give me access to Screen Sharing so that may need to be wiped and re-configured.

  • How to fix bookmark icons from reappearing in new browser windows despite having bookmark deiconizer enabled (Mac Snow Leopard/Firefox 20.0).

    Ever since Firefox upgraded to 20.0, my enabled deiconizer doesn't work when I open a new browser window. Using Mac/Snow Leopard.
    I want those bookmark toolbar icons to disappear permanently! They are nothing but clutter.

    Thanks for the suggestions. I think my next move is to contact Mozilla/FireFox to complain about this change and see if it can be fixed. If not, then I'll probably just switch to Safari. I lose patience with companies/programmers who do things like this. When I had programmers reporting to me (before I retired a few years ago), I would never let them get away with this sort of nonsense. User flexibility was a requirement.

  • How to fix missing entries in the printing preferences of Adobe PDF

    Hi all,
    we are on Acrobat Pro 8 (8.16) as part of the CS3 Design Standard package.
    A colleague of mine is missing some of the entries in the printing preferences of the Adobe PDF printer:
    The Adobe PDF Security dropdown is empty and he can't set the Printer to ask him where to put the final pdf files ("Prompt for Adobe PDF filename").
    I already tried repairing Acrobat - didn't help.
    Has anyone some ideas what to do?
    Many thanks,
    Mike

    This is getting nasty:
    After reinstalling Acrobat (via the add CS3 components function in "add or remove software") it wants to be activated (!?!) and doesn't accept the CS3 key any more.
    So I will probably have to reinstall the whole CS3.
    Is there any way to make sure that every trace of the old installation gets deleted before I start?
