Please run: sudo gtk-update-icon-cache -q /usr/share/icons/hicolor

Which icon theme do you use? Does it use hicolor as inherit?

Cheers,

Sebastian

[Yanuar NH (ianthewarrior)]

thanxs alot...it work for me. i dunno what icon theme i used, but its originally from a fresh install of edgy.

[da1l6 (da1l6)]

Same problem here, but
sudo gtk-update-icon-cache -q /usr/share/icons/hicolor
does not work.

Currently using KUbuntu Feisty, fresh installation from alternate cd
In edgy the Icons were present.

Really annoying Bug because synaptic is unuseable without a package status display.

Your theme has to use hicolors as an inherit.

[PurpleFool (tb-purple-people)]

This also happens on a Gutsy install for a LAMP server.

synaptic was added via apt-get after a fresh install. It is also missing the icons. Isn't this a dependency issue?

# synaptic
(synaptic:24373): Gtk-WARNING **: Could not find the icon 'package-install'. The 'hicolor' theme
was not found either, perhaps you need to install it.

Seems to suggest so. And gtk-update-icon-cache isn't installed either.

Thanks for your time.

[PurpleFool (tb-purple-people)]

The issue was resolved, for me, by installing another package:

apt-get install hicolor-icon-theme

IMHO this package should be a direct, or implicit, dependency for synaptic.

[TomasHnyk (sup)]

I think this: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/synaptic/+bug/95833/comments/7 comment by PurpleFooly brings enough information, so I mark it as confirmed

[Cleber Santz (clebersantz)]

I have the same problem, none of commands work for me (install hicolor theme and update icon cache). Some evolution icons are missing too.

[Cleber Santz (clebersantz)]

My problem is on upgrade Gusty to Hardy

[Willem Brown (willem-brwn)]

I had the same problem. I used the strace command to trace the systems calls and found the following:

stat("/usr/local/share/icons/hicolor/index.theme", {st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=464, ...}) = 0
write(2, "Warning, failed to load: ", 25) = 25
write(2, "package-install", 15) = 15
write(2, "Icon \'package-install\' not prese"..., 43) = 43
write(2, "\n", 1) = 1

The same hicolor directory existed in the /usr/local/share/icons directory. This directory was created when I installed the SAP Gui on my PC. My problem was resolved, after I move the icons from /usr/local/share/icons/hicolor to /usr/share/icons/hicolor and deleted the /usr/local/share/icons/hicolor/index.theme file.

Synaptic also search for themes in a few other places.

$HOME/.icons/
$HOME/.local/share/icons/
/usr/local/share/icons/
/usr/share/icons/
/usr/share/pixmaps/
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/icons/

[Cleber Santz (clebersantz)]

That`s it, i using SAP GUI too. Removing /usr/local/share/icons/hicolor solve the problem.

Tks,
Cleber Santz

[Vincent Bossier (vincent-bossier)]

I hit the same bug by installing SAP GUI as a normal user (not root). Removing the $HOME/.local/share/icons/hicolor directory solved the issue.

I had this problem in Hardy server when installing synaptc for forwarded X sessions. Please add the hicolor-icon-theme a a dependency for synaptic.

Thanks.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. You reported this bug a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue for you. Can you try with the latest Ubuntu release? Thanks in advance.

Sorry, I was away for a while, please excuse the late reply.

I can't tell you when it happened, but if I check my current
installation, karmic, synaptic is dependent on hicolor-icon-theme and
indeed I haven't seen the issue in recent memory.

Thanks for your time in checking up on these smaller issues, I know it's
not always easy of frustration free. I appreciate your efforts.

Thank you for reporting this bug.

Does this issue occur in Lucid?

I can't say I've been tracking it specifically, it was some time ago.
However I have done at least two upgrades to Lucid and two installs of
Lucid and do not recall the original symptom in either case.

Thanks for your time in tracking the bug.

[Matthew Braun (mjbraun)]

I can confirm that the issue manifests for me under lucid, even after activating lucid-proposed to get gnome-terminal 2.30.2.

[Gavin Donald (gavin-prodia)]

I can also confirm that this affects lucid.

[Robert Roth (evfool)]

Does this still affect anyone with the latest updates applied to lucid?

Hm. 14 years has passed and the bug is still unresolved! Ubuntu 20.04 LTS with Plasma DE.
