Is there anything I could do to get back application icons? I installed new theme and i solved system icons but my app icons are gone
Best wishes

Well, most of icon packages have "icon" in their name, so "pacman -Qq |grep icon" should give you names of those you need to reinstall ( it will also give you some like "fusion-icon", but you'll figure it out ).

read pacman(8), see what -Qk does.

dickoverfrick · 2010-04-20 13:32:35

ok! i ran pacman -Qk and it shows errors like these:
warning: xfwm4: /usr/share/icons/hicolor/48x48/apps/wmtweaks.png (No such file or directory)
warning: xfwm4: /usr/share/icons/hicolor/48x48/apps/xfce4-workspaces.png (No such file or directory)

but i need a way to get back those files

Xabre · 2010-04-20 13:36:35

Well, reinstall?

i don't have one error. it's a long list man

Xabre · 2010-04-20 13:47:56

Hm, well, it's not that long since you have repeated warning for same package (6 warnings for xfwm4).
"pacman -Qk |grep warning > missing.txt" should give you missing.txt file with only those packages that have missing files.

Maybe some pacman guru can give you single line command that will find those packages and reinstall them at the same time (too much for me ).

Mr.Elendig · 2010-04-20 14:06:00

pacman -S $(pacman -Qkq | cut -d " " -f 1 | uniq)

Tho that will also reinstall a couple of false positives, not that that really hurts anything, just takes a bit longer.'

Edit: forgot that -Qkq isn't really that quiet.

Are there any errors in the (re)installation of the packages?

dickoverfrick · 2010-04-20 18:04:37

no. reinstall runs ok... damn!

What is a package you have installed that you know for sure has icons stored in there? Try messing around with that. For example, uninstall it then reinstall it, removing it from /var/cache/pacman/pkg and re-downloading it, etc.

dickoverfrick · 2010-04-20 19:37:18

tried removing, tried installing but everything is same...
for example vlc player, or gimp, or any other app...

cesura · 2010-04-20 20:33:36

ls -l /usr/share | grep icons

Post that

dickoverfrick · 2010-04-20 20:41:45

drwxr-xr-x 16 root root 4096 Apr 20 15:51 icons

cesura · 2010-04-20 23:28:54

I'm at a loss. Maybe try an older package version and then upgrade it with pacman. (I.E. install, for say, 1.0.4, then use pacman to update to 1.0.5)

I'm not recommending anyone force installing anything, but I would have tried that by now, me being the idiot I am

I mean just to test it out. We'll figure out what to do about all of them later

Umm, what are your grounds for thinking that no icons are being installed? We should look at them too. Because the above line says that /usr/share/icons has 16 links, which means it probably has 14 subdirectories, which means at least some subdirectories are getting reinstalled. Perhaps icons aren't, perhaps they are. But you should say what evidence you're basing your belief that they aren't getting installed on.
