File system support list shows no icons

[Michael MacEachern]

On a fresh install of Kubuntu 17.04 64-bit, the KDE Partition Manager shows no icons in the file system support list.

It also seemed that the theme it loaded was in general incomplete as well, and no icons were showing up where they should be in the program itself.

The only fix I have found so far was to edit /etc/environment and add: "XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP="KDE"

This poses a usability issue as the file system list missing it's icons aren't for aesthetics, but are for function. With whatever problem is causing this, it poses an issue out of the box.

This is because Ubuntu did not pick up latest bugfix partition manager version (which was actually released before Ubuntu feature freeze). In any case it should work on 17.10 and also should work in 17.04 if you run it from terminal (just type partitionmanager).

Well as stated, a simple fix to /etc/environment was all I needed to do, and now it works, along with other QT apps run as sudo (like how partitionmanager acts when run from the menu) that were seemingly missing icons and themes.

Seems like there's a problem elsewhere, as my fix also fixed a handful of other programs with one line of text.
