Just today installed Kdenlive and all my buttons and icons are missing.

Could this be repaired by installing another theme? How to do that? I need a dark one.

Any other solutions?

Here is the picture

Hello,
How did you install Kdenlive? Package, binary build?
If you built it yourself, did you add your installation path to XDG_DATA_DIRS as (should be) showed during compilation?

I installed it via software center.

How do I test another skin/theme? It shows only default in list.

EDIT: Never mind, installed:

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get install kde-runtime

and buttons are back. Also did this to get the themes:.

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get install  kde-workspace-data

I am having the same problem. I installed from my software manager. Please help. I am very new to my Linux Mint 17.1 OS so I will need detailed instructions of how to fix this.

Thank you

To open terminal, press Ctrl + Alt + T (or select it through menus)

Then copy/paste this in to the terminal and press enter (it will ask for your password):

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get install kde-runtime

That should do it, now just restart Kdenlive

If you want additional themes (skins) copy/paste this and hit enter:

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get install  kde-workspace-data

It should work now. If not, I can not help.

Worked perfectly! Thank you!!

You are welcome. This is what the forums are for.

I was like you about 6 years ago, keep on going and some day you will help someone

Yeaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!
I tried your solution... And it worked out fine....
Thanks so much.... buttons are back and everything is working perfectly well...

Brilliant!!!

Happy to help ^__^

BTW, much more stable than Openshot, I have noticed.

@janiporo thank you, i had this same problem on ubuntu 16.04 LTS 'sudo apt-get install kde-runtime' solved it.

you can just use

sudo apt-get install breeze-icon-theme

it's a much smaller package without unnecessary bits.
