gdk-pixbuf2-noglycin icons missing

barnd3 · Yesterday 15:31:47

Because of the bug with "gdk-pixbuf2-2.44.3," I installed the package "gdk-pixbuf2-noglycin." It's working so far.
I'm using XFCE, and no icons are displayed in the panel for open windows.
What can I do?

Have you updated to gdk-pixbuf2-noglycin 2.44.3-2
?

barnd3 · Yesterday 17:57:54

yes is the "gdk-pixbuf2-noglycin 2.44.3-2"

It's working so far. I'm using XFCE, and no icons are displayed

1. is that meant to indicate a regression?
2. is the problem strictly limited to the taskbar thumbnails in xfce?
3. can we see any errors (system journal, xsession errors or by starting xfce-panel from an interactive shell)?

I don't intend to point out a regression.

The problem is limited to the Xfce panel icons, as far as I can see.

Here's the only hint when starting the panel.

(xfce4-panel:94652): Gtk-WARNING **: 17:53:47.532: Could not load a pixbuf from icon theme.
This may indicate that pixbuf loaders or the mime database could not be found.

Unrelated to the overall situation or noglycin build?
Does it work if you start an xfce session as different (fresh) user?

See https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=302145 but don't just run everything there and certainly no unconditionally as sudo.

I think the -noglycin package does not contain the fix for this issue:
* https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gdk-pixbuf/-/issues/271
* fix: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gdk-pixb … 0346c18ac5
* see-also: https://gitlab.xfce.org/xfce/xfce4-panel/-/issues/951

It’s a one-line patch. It would be easy to do the makepkg -o , patch , makepkg -e dance here, to check if that’s all gdk-pixbuf2-noclycin needs.

I updated gdk-pixbuf2-noglycin to 2.44.3-3 with that patch FWIW.

The majority of issues with gdk-pixbuf2 using glycin are resolved by now. I don’t know the status of unwanted interaction with sandboxing tools, but simple bugs of the infancy period and errors causing images not loading shouldn’t happen. So maybe the solution is to switch back to the in-repo version?

Mod note: moving to AUR Issues

No idea where https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=309527 comes from but apparently not an "obviously doomed" sandboxing approach.

That aside, there's clearly a bug in pixbug's [that started as a typo, I noticed it. Then decided to leave it there] internal BMP loader here, showcasing another problem w/ the status quo: since gdk-pixbuf2 is supposed to be cross-platform, but glycin is not, it /has/ to remain optional, what means there're now two completely different codepaths to maintain, doubling the attack surface.

Fire-proofing each room separately can easily end up in constructing a furnace…

I think you underestimate how little GNOME devs care about breaking anything outside the scope of GNOME...

Yes. They seem to want to force the world to use GNOME. I fear for the future of lightweight GTK3-based DEs like MATE and XFCE. I'm considering moving as much as possible from GTK to Qt. Maybe LXQt as DE...?

I've little illusions about gnome-stuff (feel free to search the forum, qarma was me ranting a night into an editor because somebody said the quiet part out loud) but pixbuf is a widely used library - if the official version turns "linux only" there'll necessarily be a fork.
