A lot of icons lost in Gnome 2.8


Hello and thanks for reading my question.

I updated Mandrake 10.0 to Mandriva 2005. The problem is that a lot of icons can not be found by Gnome (2.8) anymore. For instance: in Evolution, I get white pages with a red cross where used to be the icons.

Any help is much appreciated.

Have you tried changing the icon theme?

Thanks a lot for your idea, but no luck. Some of the icons are working, others don't. For instance in Evolution I hardly see any icons (new, read or unread mail, attachement icon,...). In the Gnome actions-menu I do not have an icon for logging of the computer. (I do see the text).

It almost sounds like a GTK2 or librsvg problem... I don't know what all happened when you "upgraded"... Try and find out what pictures aren't displaying and look at the file extension. The reason I mention it is because I've had these problems before it was because I upgraded GTK. librsvg no longer was talking to my new GTK because I forgot to run pixbuff-querry-loaders or some such thing... I don't even know if that was my problem. I ended up downgrading GTK again but I'm almost positive that the below command would have fixed it for me.

Something LIKE this might or might not resolve it.

gdk-pixbuf-query-loaders > /etc/gtk-2.0/gdk-pixbuf.loaders

All the files were PNG, but some PNG ones do display. However, I managed to solve it. I looked up for the file evolution.png in rpm-files installed. I found out that the package gnome-icons was providing it. I forced this package to uninstall and re-installed it right-away. It all works fine now.

Thanks to the replyers for thinking with me.

same problem I think with Evolution icons

I think I understand most of this page, but not how to uninstall and then reinstall that file. I just upgraded from Core 1 too 4 and have the icons issue as well, but not all of the icons are missing. I also now don't have the first spash screen that used to have the weather, today's tasks, ect on it. any help is appreaciated.

Thanks in advance
Shawn
