Libre Office Writer Icons unreadability on YY and ZZ with Intel Drivers

[Marco Parillo]

glxinfo | grep -i vendor
server glx vendor string: SGI
client glx vendor string: Mesa Project and SGI
    Vendor: Intel Open Source Technology Center (0x8086)
OpenGL vendor string: Intel Open Source Technology Center

[Marco Parillo (marco-parillo)]

Note that this was not a problem on XX on the same HW, nor is it a problem on YY in a VMware VM on similar HW.

[Marco Parillo (marco-parillo)]

Note that the VMware drivers that seem to work are:
glxinfo | grep -i vendor
server glx vendor string: SGI
client glx vendor string: Mesa Project and SGI
    Vendor: VMware, Inc. (0xffffffff)
OpenGL vendor string: VMware, Inc.

Marco Parillo, thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. Please execute the following command only once, as it will automatically gather debugging information, in a terminal:
apport-collect 1625595

When reporting bugs in the future please use apport by using 'ubuntu-bug' and the name of the package affected. You can learn more about this functionality at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ReportingBugs.

After installing, I get:
mparillo@mparillo-HP-EliteBook-8440p:~$ apport-collect 1625595
ERROR: Could not import module, is a package upgrade in progress? Error: No module named PyQt5.QtCore

[Marco Parillo (marco-parillo)]

I tried re-booting, and I still get the same message.

[Marco Parillo (marco-parillo)]

In case inxi helps:

Marco Parillo, regarding apport not working as expected, please file a new report via https://launchpad.net/apport/+filebug , and feel free to subscribe me to it.

[Marco Parillo (marco-parillo)]

Thank you very much. I was not able to subscribe you to https://bugs.launchpad.net/apport/+bug/1627790

Perhaps because you are not on my team?

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

[Dale Trombley (buzzmandt)]

same problem here, actually on 2 of my computers
but can only file once i'd reckon so here's one of them

[Dale Trombley (buzzmandt)]

found a work around. I removed libreoffice-kde and install libreoffice-gtk (which will also install libreoffice-gtk2). Launch libreoffice as normal and the icons and menus are working properly. I then uninstalled libreoffice-gtk and libreoffice-gtk2 and reinstalled libreoffice-kde which reproduced the problem in this bug report. Seems only libreoffice-kde is at fault.

hope this helps and let me know if i can try anything else.

[penalvch (penalvch)]

Marco Parillo, getting back to https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libreoffice/+bug/1625595/comments/10 I had asked you to run apport-collect with http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/ not Kubuntu daily. Could you please advise?

[Marco Parillo (marco-parillo)]

Then a dialog box pops up saying "No additional information collected".

[penalvch (penalvch)]

Marco Parillo, thanks for that. Looks like yet another distinct issue with apport?!

It wouldn't hurt to try a earlier supported version of Ubuntu (not Kubuntu) via http://releases.ubuntu.com/ to see if we can get something out of it. Just make sure you have the xdiagnose package installed, and click yes for additional information.

[Marco Parillo (marco-parillo)]

Changing the title of the bug report as Libre Office Calc icons are readable, and tested on ZZ also.

[Marco Parillo (marco-parillo)]

This may be resolved with Kubuntu ZZ Beta 1.

[Dale Trombley (buzzmandt)]

I have tested this with my ZZ it now works properly, Fixed i think

[Marco Parillo (marco-parillo)]

Tested and resolved on both 32-bit and 64-bit Kubuntu ZZ Beta 1 Images
