From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040124 Description of problem: Immediately following a recent upgrade from KDE 3.2.0 (RPM's, from ftp.kde.org or one of it's official mirrors) to KDE 3.2.1 (RPM's, also from ftp.kde.org or one of it's offcial mirrors) I lost icons in, so far, four applications - Bibletime, Krename, Kover and Krusader. The icons that I lost are the ones that compile and install with the above mentioned applications. The icons that the above mentioned applications use from KDE itself are all there. I tried recompiling and reinstalling 3 of the 4 mentioned applications, to see if that would fix the problem - no such luck. I also tried installing from RPM's for some of the above mentioned applications, no luck there either. It bears mentioning that all of the icons that are now missing Were Not missing before I upgraded to KDE 3.2.1. I noticed the absence of the icons almost immediately after upgrading. I'll restate that this way: 1. Under KDE 3.2.0, all icons display properly. 2. Updgrade to KDE 3.2.1, making no changes to the above mentioned applications, and icons that come from the applications dissapear. The RPM's that I used to updgrade came from ftp.kde.org. In case someone further mentions that it is an issue with the applications themselves, I must ask, why did the icons work before I updgraded? In closing, here is a point that makes this issue different than the closest one that I found before submitting this: the only applications that are afflicted with this bug are KDE applications. There is not a non-KDE application among the ones that I have notices issues with so far. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kde 3.2.1 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Use "rpm -Uvh" to upgrade from KDE 3.2.0 to KDE 3.2.1 2. Restart KDE (Logout and Log back in) Actual Results: The absence of most icons in at least four KDE/QT based applications. At least the following: 1. Bibletime 2. Krename 3. Krusader 4. Kover Expected Results: I expected the icons that had been there up to and including under KDE 3.2.0 to still be present. Additional info: I have since reverted back to KDE 3.2.0. But I will upgrade back to KDE 3.2.1 later today, maybe early tomorrow morning, so I can give you even more detailed information. I want to be of service to you :) Also, I don't know for sure that I got the component right, but if you need me to change it, let me know what the correct component is, and I will gladly change it :)
it looks like these applications are not from KDE 3.2.1 packages! and i bet it's aa Categories issue in desktop files. Where are the desktop files of these applications installed? could you please send me the desktop files of them? thanks Does it work if you add this "Categories=Qt;KDE;Utility;" in the desktop files?
I pasted "Categories=Qt;KDE;Utility;" (minus the quotation marks) into the ".desktop" files that are associated with the four apps that I used as examples of applications with missing icons. I saved them and then logged out and logged back in. Still no icons. While trying the above, I noticed the contents of certain parts of the "/usr/share/applnk" directory (An extreme lack of icons in certain sections) I put a screenshot at the following location: http://www.faith4miracle.org/kde-3.2.1-ScreenShots/kde-3.2.1-DissapearingIcons-ScreenShot-1.jpg Here is a link to the ".desktop" files you requested. Please note, that in the Bibletime, Krename and Krusader files, if you remove the line that you suggested that I add to them, then the file is in the exact condition that it was in before I edited them. With Kover, just delete the line you told me to paste in, and uncomment the original Categorie line, and it is then back to it's original condition. http://www.faith4miracle.org/kde-3.2.1-Other/kde-3.2.1-DesktopFiles.tar.bz2 I did not attatch this screen shot or ".desktop" files, because I've had problems attatching things to bug reports before. Also, I didn't know what would happen if I put the above quoted URL into the URL box: would I be able to add another screenshot in that box, if needed? If you need anything else from me, screenshots, whatever, I'll be glad to oblige. Anything you want me to try, editing files, recompiling, applying patches, just let me know :)
As an experiment, I tried the following: 1. Updated every KDE module from the CVS. 2. configure, make, make install on arts, kdelibs, kdebase (so far) 3. Logged out of KDE, logged back in. The result of the above three steps? All of my icons are back! I uploaded a screenshot of the exact same view of /usr/share/applnk to the following location: http://www.faith4miracle.org/kde-3.2.1-ScreenShots/kde-3.2.1-DissapearingIcons-ScreenShot-NEW.jpg Like I may have said before, I am no guru with Linux, but I do pretty well. (Really well according to my brother, who IS a Linux guru.) I was wondering, is it significant that, using the QT that I downloaded with KDE 3.2.1 for Fedora Core 1, after installing only Arts, Kdelibs and Kdebase, that the bug that this report is the subject of would appear to be fixed? In fact, as a bonus, the excessively large icons in the KDE start menu, which HAD caused my start menu to be two columns wide while running KDE 3.2.1, is now back to it's normal size :) In closing, all of these complaints of mine are now fixed, after updating my system from the CVS. Perhaps they were fixed in the KDE code itself, or possibly there was something wrong with one of the KDE 3.2.1 RPM's for Fedora Core? If anything interesting comes up as I continue installing from the CVS, I'll let you know. As soon as a fix occurs that you release as an RPM, I will gladly redownload and reinstall KDE 3.2.1 from the RPM's
i have done a fresh FC2 test2 installation. i cannot reproduce this problem here. It seems it's fixed now with current KDE 3.2.1 rawhide
