Hi, today I have upgraded my opensuse from 11.2 to 11.3, then upgraded kde from 4.4 to recent 4.5 beta (4.4.93) from KDE:Distro:Factory.

Now icons for notifications, network manager and power management plasmoids are gone - I can see only empty panel on the places where they should be located, but when I click on them, they work as they shood.

Also icons for klipper, kmix systray items and for device notifier plasmoid are drawn in color (before that I had kde 4.5 betas on opensuse 11.2 and they all had monochromatic icons).

So, I assume that monochromatic icons are missing in my system or plasma is not configured to use them.

Is there a way to fix this?

Please try removing /var/tmp/kdecache-$USER outside KDE.

did logoff, removed cache dir from console, loggedin again - icons are still missing (both for existing plasmoids and for newly added

today updated to rc2 (4.4.95), did not help. does anybody know at least the name of those icons so I could check if I have them on place?

The Monochromatic icons should be stored in $PREFIX/share/apps/desktoptheme/default/icons/

$PREFIX is normally /usr on a distribution installation of KDE.

I have "/usr/share/kde4/apps/desktoptheme/default/" directory and there is no "icons" subdirectory in it - only dirs with plasmoid names like "bubblemon", "rssnow" etc and "widgets" subdir with a number of svgz files inside.

"/usr/share/apps/" only contains 3 subfolders: "konqueror", "d3lphin" and "kstyle"; there is no "desktoptheme" there.

I think I have installed all packages which could be found by "icons" and "desktoptheme" keywords in yast, can you please give me a name of at least one monochromatic icon file (for example for battery applet or for device notifier), so I could search the need package by exact criteria.

"audio.svgz" or "nepomuk.svgz" should exist in the icons/ directory.

This names did not help - yast does not return any packages by such keywords.

Do you use openSuse? If yes, can you please check to which package those icons belong to with something like this:

rpm -qf /usr/share/apps/desktoptheme/default/icons/wallet.svgz

I have those icons:

Code: Select all

lb@leon:~$ rpm -qf /usr/share/kde4/apps/desktoptheme/default/icons/wallet.svgz                                                     
kdebase4-runtime-4.4.95-223.2.i586

Install the package kdebase4-runtime-branding-upstream. That solved the problem for me.

weird. I use KDE:Distro:Factory repository.

> rpm -qi kdebase4-runtime
Name : kdebase4-runtime
Version : 4.4.95

> rpm -ql kdebase4-runtime | grep default/icons
returns nothing

***

> rpm -qi kdebase4-runtime-branding-upstream
Name : kdebase4-runtime-branding-upstream
Version : 4.4.95

> rpm -ql kdebase4-runtime-branding-upstream
/usr/share/doc/packages/kdebase4-runtime-branding-upstream
/usr/share/doc/packages/kdebase4-runtime-branding-upstream/COPYING
/usr/share/kde4/apps/desktoptheme/default/metadata.desktop

and that's all, no icons.

I had the same problem you are experiencing. I simply installed the package kde4-runtime-branding-upstream, after uninstalling kde4-runtime-branding-opensuse, and now I have the monochromatic icons in the system tray. I have a PC running openSuSE 11.3, with KDE 4.4.95 from the KDE:Distro:Factory repository, it seems the same configuration you have.

yes, I see that. I have installed all *-branding-upstream packages from this repository including kdebase4-runtime-branding-upstream (package kde4-runtime-branding-upstream does not exist) and this still did not help (and kdebase4-runtime-branding-upstream actually did not contain any icons inside), that's why this looks weird for me.

thank's anyway, will wait for the next update, probably this would be somehow solved automatically.
