Messy Upgrade (libpng)

benoror · 2010-02-16 02:46:28

Hi Archers. I just upgraded my laptop today. It was a huge upgrade, about 500MB~. For my surprise, GDM stop working. It restarted several times before stopping. I had to do 'init 3' before looking for the problem.

After lot of research, I installed libpng12 from AUR and then GDM started. But docky (from AUR) refused to run, and my GNOME desktop icons look smaller and some icons are gone. Is there any other fixing I need to do after this messy upgrade ?

Thanks!

EDIT: I just realized that the icon problem is because nautilus can't use SVG icons anymore. Any ideas ?

Did you rebuild docky from AUR? Also, are you using a cairo package from AUR?

I did rebuild docky from AUR. I do have cairo-lcd from AUR installed. Should I remove it?

PS. My arch: x64

EDIT: Not able to remove cairo-lcd safely anyways:

yaourt -R cairo-lcd

pacman -Rd cairo-lcd
pacman -S cairo

Then you can rebuild cairo-lcd if you want.

Thanks Allan, pacman replaced. cairo-lcd with original cairo package automatically:

$ yaourt -Qs cairo
extra/cairo 1.8.8-2 
     Cairo vector graphics library

But Nautilus still doesn't do SVG's, and docky denies to run. Any other ideas ?

Did you build gnome-do from AUR? If so you need to rebuild it. If not, I would make sure that compositing is working with your window manager. Does gnome-do run at all? Or is the problem only with docky?

Thanks for your reply jowilkin.

I'm using docky-bzr from AUR, so it's standalone, it doesn't require Do anymore. But I'm more concerned about nautilus and those ugly fixed-size icons.

Thanks!

FINALLY, I SOLVED IT

I had to reinstall GTK2

EDIT: I confirm that reinstalling cairo-lcd from AUR works well to
