[solved] Missing icons in the top panel of the gnome shell

Postby agonis on Fri Apr 06, 2012 6:49 pm

Hi!

I upgraded to the update pack 4 of LMDE today but have a minor issue with the gnome shell: In the top panel no icons are shown for the network

and volume
_2.png

control.

I would really appreciate your help on fixing this. Thanks!

BTW: I don't have any Gnome shell extensions installed.

It seems that some got wrong during icon installation.

Running following shell script fixed it for me.
Code: Select all
#!/bin/sh
OIFS="$IFS"
IFS=$'\n'
for i in `locate index.theme`; do
    dir=`dirname $i`
    echo "Working on $dir."
    gtk-update-icon-cache "$dir"
done

The above script did not work for me either, BUT this script did:

Code: Select all
#!/bin/bash
# fix_icons.sh

for i in `locate index.theme`; do
   dir=`dirname $i`
   echo "Working on $dir."
   gtk-update-icon-cache -f "$dir"
done


$ chmod +x fix_icons.sh
$ sudo ./fix_icons.sh
