[solved] Gnome3 - installation issues (missing lib / missing bin)

Hi everyone,

i tried to install Gnome 3 from testing.
However i ran into some problems.

Problem 1:
While installing I get some "gtk-update-icon-cache: command not found" errors. They come from install scripts that are executed while upgrading.
I am 100% sure that the gtk-update-icon-cache binary is present in /usr/lib before executing pacman -Syu.
After pacman the binary is gone, reinstalling the package helps. So it seems some package breaks something here. (Don't know exactly which though, because there are plenty installed when upgrading)

Problem 2:
Just for the records: I'm using arch x86_64 and my repo order is
- testing
- multilib-testing
- community-testing
- core
- extra
- community
nothing else.

Upgrading itself works fine. Gnome 3 starts and fallback mode (gnome-panel) works from what I can see. (starting programs, including nautlilus, works well)
But when I try to start gnome-shell (with or without the --replace option) I get an "error while loading shared libraries: libgtk-x11-3.0.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory".
Sometimes it is libgdk instead of gtk.

Additional information:
Using an Lenovo x200 with intel graphics. intel-dri is installed.
I used compiz in gnome2, could that arise some problems?
It does not work with a new user account also.

If you need any further information to help me, feel free to ask. I tried the search engine but couldn't find any results regarding gtk-update-icon-cache or libgtk-x11. (Searching the packages via google seems to show that no package contains these files?!)

Thank you very much
David

pacman -Q gtk2 gtk3 gtk-update-icon-cache


Give what you have. To someone, it may be better than you dare to think.

Re: [solved] Gnome3 - installation issues (missing lib / missing bin)

i really don't know how did you managed to do a clean pacman -Syu mostly because i see libcanberra-gtk3. i guess you did pacman -Syuf or something like that and "-f" broke a lot of stuff.

firstly remove gdm-old and libcanberra-gtk3 and install gdm and libcanberra

Re: [solved] Gnome3 - installation issues (missing lib / missing bin)

Wonder, you are my hero! Thank you.
Seems like I did Syuf at any time... Will never do it again.

Thank you so much -> removing libcanberra-gtk3 solved the problem.
btw removing gdm-old was not necessary for me at this point. I will keep it for now as I find it much nicer than the new one.

Re: [solved] Gnome3 - installation issues (missing lib / missing bin)

yeah, never ever use -f unless a dev advice you to do it.

in the future, here is how you are suppose to deal with file conflicts: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=56373
