Hey everyone.

I hope this is the right place to post this...

Last night I compiled KDE 4.3 on my Mandriva 2009.1 Desktop machine.
Everything worked fine so far.
I installed KDE 4.3 to /usr/kde.

Today I removed the old KDE 4.2 packages and BOOOM all my icons were gone.
But they are all in /usr/kde/share/icons.
I set $KDEDIR to /usr/kde. All applications are running fine and are starting up.
But simply those damns icons won't show up.
I also tried to make a symbolic link from /usr/share/icons/oxygen and hicolor but that doesn't help (this was just to test if anything is wrong with the variables).

I compiled kdebase completely (workspace, runtime and apps) using cmakekde.

Has anyone a small hint for me?

Thank you!

Try running "kbuildsycoca4 --noincremental" as well as setting the following environmental variables. You do not need to set TRUNKINSTALLPATH or KDE_ENV_SET, and need to change KDEDIR and QTDIR as appropriate.

Code: Select all

if [ -z "${KDE_ENV_SET}" ]; then
    export TRUNKINSTALLPATH="/opt/trunk-kde"
    # Change this to your kdedir setting in ~/.kdesvn-buildrc
    export KDEDIR="${TRUNKINSTALLPATH}/kde"
    export KDEDIRS="${KDEDIR}"

    # Change this to your qtdir setting in ~/.kdesvn-buildrc
    export QTDIR="${TRUNKINSTALLPATH}/qt"

    export PATH="${KDEDIR}/bin:${QTDIR}/bin:${PATH}"
    export LD_LIBRARY_PATH="${KDEDIR}/lib:${QTDIR}/lib"
    export CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH="${KDEDIR}:${QTDIR}"

    export KDEHOME="${HOME}/.kde4-trunk/"

    # Set the XDG data path, helps finding plugins, etc
    export XDG_DATA_DIRS="${KDEDIR}/share:${XDG_DATA_DIRS}"

    # Don't accidentally get sourced again.
    export KDE_ENV_SET=1
fi

Thank you for your answer.

I'm building KDE not from trunk, it's 4.3 from branches. But that doesn't matter here I think.

I checked everything like you said, but all these things are correct, definetely.

Do you need some logs or my export-list?


Edit: Just installed kdeartwork. When using the icon theme from this package I have at least a few icons .

Just a small hint.
Why do you compile 4.3 your self, if Helio (the Mandriva KDE Maintainer) provide packages for 2009.0 and 2009.1?

For example here:
i586
urpmi.addmedia kde43 ftp://ftp.tu-chemnitz.de/pub/X11/kde/st ... edia/kde43
urpmi.addmedia kde43-noarch ftp://ftp.tu-chemnitz.de/pub/X11/kde/st ... edia/kde43

x86-64
urpmi.addmedia kde43 ftp://ftp.tu-chemnitz.de/pub/X11/kde/st ... edia/kde43
urpmi.addmedia kde43-noarch ftp://ftp.tu-chemnitz.de/pub/X11/kde/st ... edia/kde43

Also, are you building the appropriate oxygen-icons KDESupport component?

Where do I find them??

You should be building this repository as part of your build. It needs to be after Qt but before anything KDE.

http://websvn.kde.org/tags/kdesupport-f ... desupport/

Thank you man.
I'll try that.

Have you managed to solve the problem?

I have the same problem and even though i have followed the compilation steps, i still don't have any icons too.

When i issue the "startx" command, i get errors of this type printed:

Could not find mime type "application/octet-stream"

I also get it when i launch Dolphin. Any information that can help me to solve this issue is welcomed.

Thanking you in advance,
David

My system information:
1) svn co from branches/4.3
2) I have KDE 4.3.2
3) distribution: Slackware

I found the solution:
1) Removed my .local directory in my home folder
2) Run update-mime-database

I'm still encountering this problem when i change my init level to boot directly on X using KDM login. I have no clue what can and should be done now

There is no change from KDE's point of view whether startx or KDM is used to commence the session, so please contact your distributor.

@bolenti if it makes it any easier for the time being, you can find the packages and source tree at http://cardinal.lizella.net/~vbatts/kde ... ges/4.3.2/ or rsync://cardinal.lizella.net/vbatts/kde ... ges/4.3.2/

take care,

Hello, I have managed to fix the problem. My environment variables wasn't right. Thank you for your responses.

Now I have a problem with KDE Menu Editor viewtopic.php?f=17&t=82832

@bolenti if you don't mind, can you post on what it was that fixed your problem? that way others can reference it.

Thanks and Take care,
